REALTORS® Relief Efforts for Hurricane Katrina The devastation that Hurricane Katrina has wreaked on the gulf coast has been devastating – and has been singled out as the largest natural disaster in our country’s history. NAR has contributed well over $1 Million to funds established by the state REALTOR® Associations. They are asking for your help as well. All administrative costs of the project will be absorbed by NAR, and 100 percent of contributions to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation will go to disaster relief. Contributions are tax deductible. At Advanced Access, we are committed to supporting relief efforts in the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina and resulting flood waters. Through various corporate promotions, we have donated a portion of our sales to the REALTORS® Relief fund. For more information about how to donate, please visit the following links: REALTORS Relief Effort News Page Contributions
Now Being Accepted to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation You may wish to add
a section to your website about the NAR Relief Fund. With 100% of any
contributions going straight to disaster relief, make every penny
count.
From the Advanced Access Forums: Our valued client, Eric Bouler from Baton Rouge Real Estate, has checked in with us. Eric has made it safely to Houston and is still awaiting word of what has become of their home and livelihood. Eric posted, “Real Estate is pushed back for us for the rest of 2006. I am fortunate to have worked hard, very hard the past year to not have to worry about meals or water. I wanted to thank you guys who have helped me on my site this past year. Say prayers for all of us, hug your kids, call your mother, do the things you forget to do in the rat race. Some really appreciate a cold glass of water.” The staff and management at Advanced Access would like to express our sincerest condolences to all who have been affected by this tragic natural disaster. To our Advanced Access family in the affected area – some of whom we have not yet heard from – our thoughts and prayers go out to you and we wish you the very best. In the Spotlight – Secure Area From time to time we will highlight some of our less famous but highly valuable Classic 3.0 website features. We are all about educating you and helping you find those resources that may have been lost in the crowd. This week’s spotlight is on the Secure Area feature. With the use of Secure Area you have the ability to restrict access to certain web pages within your website or another by requiring a website visitor to login before viewing those pages. Provide special private or VIP access via a username and password (or just a password) to only those visitors for whom you wish to reserve certain information or properties. You can password protect access to any page within your website. You can also password protect access to any URL on the Internet when accessed from your site via a Secure Area page. Please note that the Secure Area feature does not create an area secured for the transmitting of sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, etc. Gene Carey of Grayslake Real Estate utilizes Secure Area to obtain leads of a higher quality with a search criteria form that precedes his MLS search pages. His form does not require a phone number, and yet he gets excellent results! The key is making the form appear as little like a ‘registration form’ as possible. His search criteria form is the standard Advanced Access Dream Home Finder form with some modifications. The Secure Area type he uses is called ‘Single Password Login’ which allows access to a section using a universal password. How do his visitors obtain the password? They must fill out the form, then upon submission, the password will be automatically emailed to them. The secret: this requires the visitor to enter a valid email address. Other possible uses for Secure Area include:
Secure Area is located in your Classic 3.0 Virtual Office under the Additional Features section.
There are four types of Secure Areas: User Login – This option requires a user to enter a login and password to access the secure area. The user name and password is created by you in the ‘Create New User’ section. You will also be able to specify which users on your main user list can access this specific secure area. This will be determined by adding to the ‘Members’ list for this secure area once it is created. Single Password Login – This option allows you to create a single password for access to the secure area. When selecting this option, a text box will appear to the right. This is where you will enter the password for this secure area. Subscription Login – This option requires a user to enter a login and password to access the secure area. The login and password is created by the user subscribing through the secure area page on your website. You can choose to require your approval before their subscription is activated or not. When selecting this option, a checkbox will appear to the right that says, ‘Require Subscription Approval’. If you would like to require approval, place a check in that box. If you do not wish to require approval, leave that box unchecked. Secure Gateway – This option will allow you to add multiple pages to this secure area with a single login and password for each page. Each login and password is associated with a specific page. The page that the user views upon login depends on which login and password the user enters. These are called ‘Gateway Pages’. You will be able to add these pages and create the login and password for each page from the Secure Area main menu once you create this secure area.
We encourage you to take advantage of your Secure Area website
feature. The possibilities are limitless!
