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

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)!
