QuickHomes® Features - Part II

Two weeks ago, we talked about our major upgrade to QuickHomes® and the differences between our two different services.  Last week we went over some specific features that were part of the FREE IDX Solution and our QuickHomes® product. This week we would like to finalize our QuickHomes® series and outline the exclusive features that are available to you through QuickHomes®.

With a retail price of $399.95 per year (or $39.95/month), as a valued Advanced Access customer, your price for QuickHomes® is ONLY $299.95 per year (or $29.95/month)!

For the past two years, Advanced Access has been accumulating additional MLS’ to our download list.  Currently we perform more than 90 MLS downloads per day.  Every MLS has a different set-up and rules to which we must adhere.  In fact, Advanced Access has a complete MLS Department dedicated to performing MLS downloads.  Staying on top of the MLS downloads across the country is a tremendous responsibility.  We appreciate your patience if you have sent in an inquiry for your MLS to be downloaded by Advanced Access.  There may be a delay to download your MLS because of the time it requires, or your MLS may not make it available to us.  We sincerely thank you for your patience, business, and support while we work with each MLS to sort out the details.

If you have any questions about QuickHomes®, don’t hesitate to contact our SALES staff TOLL FREE at 1-800-335-1563!

A Sneak Peek at our Fabulous Features

Consumer Advantages - Available in QuickHomes®

Gain valuable leads by offering a sign-up form for your consumers to receive e-mail updates of their search criteria on a daily/weekly/biweekly basis.  At the top of all of your pages there is a section where visitors are encouraged to sign up, or if they have already signed up with you to login to become a member.  Becoming a registered QuickHomes® user will allow your consumer to utilize exclusive features such as saving properties as favorites, saving searches, receiving email property updates, and more!

Receiving automatic property updates could potentially save you hundreds of hours of work looking through properties to send to your clients on a daily basis.  QuickHomes® does the work for you by taking into account your client's search parameters and automatically detecting new available properties that come online every day!

For any search that your visitor performs in QuickHomes®, they will be reminded of the option to 'Save This Search' that will lead them to your sign-up form. Your sign-up form can be modified at your discretion to add your personality to this section!  More on this feature later...

As your consumers are surfing through the QuickHomes® listings they will always have the option to add a property to their 'Favorite' list. This will again encourage them to sign up for exclusive features!

Once your consumer is logged in to QuickHomes®, they will be able to browse through their 'My Searches' tab.  This will enable your consumer to view the results of their searches online, edit their searches, or delete their searches.

Each search in QuickHomes® gives the consumer the option to receive (or not to receive) emails about NEW homes that come online daily!  This will keep your visitor interested about homes being listed in their favorite areas in their search parameters.

Your QuickHomes® visitors will also be able to edit their profile with their personal information and review their favorite homes saved.  Managing their favorite homes will keep your consumer coming back to your website to review their personal choices and to select new favorites from the AUTOMATIC daily notifications that QuickHomes® sends.

Virtual Office Controls

We discussed the IDX Solution available links in last week's Marketing Tip.  As a QuickHomes® user you have access to create as many custom links as you desire, plus many other options, tracking devices, and preferences.

User List

Track every visitor that comes to your Website, including their searches, the properties they viewed, and even the properties they saved as favorites. With our expanded Recent Visitors and User List sections, you receive more details about prospect searches, and greater control over total prospect management.

Your 'User List' will display quick information about your visitors. The program defaults to the last visitor who used
QuickHomes® so you can check periodically to see if any of your clients need assistance or if they have located any properties that they may want to view. Click on 'Info' to receive even more detailed information...

Clicking on 'Info' will provide more detailed information about your prospect, including all of their User Info, their most recent visits, top 10 search criteria, most recent searches, and even give you the opportunity to make notes on your client.

QuickHomes® gives you the ability to view consecutive visits from your consumers. Also you will be able to view the searches your consumer has created, view the properties that come up for each individual search, edit the searches and create new ones, and delete any searches your consumer does not want to receive.

Recent Visitors

This section presents a list of the consumers who have visited your QuickHomes® program, the searches that are being conducted, and how many properties are being viewed. In your Preferences section, you have the ability to allow visitors to view properties without logging in. If you do, visitors who don’t log in will be shown as a 'Guest' in your 'Recent Visitors' section. If your user has logged in, their name will appear with the ability to click on their name and find out more information about their visit.

Preferences

QuickHomes® Preferences is all inclusive, allowing you to create a customized version of QuickHomes ® to suit your own specifications.

Agent Info allows you to add, edit or delete any personal information such as your photo, company logo, and contact information to be featured on EVERY page. You have the choice to hide the information, display it on the top of every page, or display it on the bottom. You even have the option to pluralize the text if you are part of a team!

Featured Properties gives you the ability to select an active MLS ID for up to four different Featured Properties to appear at the top or bottom of every page.

Form Information allows you to customize the registration text on the 'Sign Up' page of your QuickHomes® product to entice your users to sign up with you. Decide the location where you would like your users to sign up for QuickHomes® - you can use your search page, results page, or property page.  Or, you may prefer to allow your visitors to browse through QuickHomes® without signing up at all. It's your choice!

Visuals will allow you to customize the look and feel of your QuickHomes® product to match the colors of your Website and gives you the choice of your own customized banner.

The Miscellaneous section will give you the ability to set your default options to enhance your user experience.  Some of your options include choosing the number of results you want to appear on the page; choosing how you would like your results to appear, whether or not you want your thumbnail images opening in a new window, the manner in which your properties are sorted, and more!

Map Starting Point allows you to set up your map to display precisely the boundaries in which you wish your visitors to search.  Setting your map with boundaries will give your visitors an idea of the areas in which you work and will help them find the perfect area for their new home.

Finally, our Quick Homes Preferences will allow you to customize the  QuickHomes® automatic e-mails that are sent to your prospective client with your personal message!  Don't leave this to our default text when you can add your personality to this important email.  You can use these automatic emails as a marketing opportunity to assure your newly signed up prospect that you are willing to help them through the buying or selling process.  We have even included an option for you to change the 'Not a QuickHomes® user?' text on the sign up page!  If you don't feel like using our QuickHomes® trademark, we won't hold it against you!

With a retail price of $399.95 per year (or $39.95/month), as a valued Advanced Access customer, your price for QuickHomes® is ONLY $299.95 per year (or $29.95/month)!
