Your Properties

 

There are several different methods to handle properties at your Web site. Choose the method that fits your budget and your work style.

 

  1. IDX
    Please see the section of our Web site devoted to this subject - available from any of our main menu pages. It's just a hook-up from your site to a broker reciprocity database, but you must be authorized by your board/MLS for IDX. Having an IDX property search is the single most important feature of your Web site.
     

  2. Update It Yourself - A Database of Properties
    The database for your own properties database is completely updatable (add/delete/change properties and pictures) through your own admin screen. You can see an example Web site Click Here. This example is our 'standard' database. If you need something different, we can create it for you.
    Notes

    • You can choose to omit the search page for your database and instead connect directly to the property list if you wish. The search page is recommended only for agents who carry a large number of listings - at least 30.

    • The 'featured property' on the home page of the Web site is pulled from the database - no extra data entry required.

    • Mapping of properties leads people away from your site. We have included it in the demo but will remove it from your database if you wish. The way it is set up is dictated by the terms of use of the mapping site.

    • All property pages are fully integrated into your Web site and designed to match the rest of your site.

    • It's EASY for even a novice to update properties with our database.

    • You can learn more about our databases by clicking on the Add A Database link on the menu at left.
       

  3. Update It Yourself - Spot Editing
    If you don't carry enough properties for a database, you can now - through spot editing - add/change/delete text and pictures on one page of your web site without having to know html. Using the Spot Editor is like using Word Processing. You can upload multiple pictures per property if you desire. Example. Please note: if you carry more than a few properties, it would be better to set up a database than to use spot editing. A database keeps your properties organized for you by price. With spot editing, you have to organize them on the page(s) yourself; that can be a burden with many properties.

    You can learn more about Spot Editing by clicking on the Update It Yourself menu selection at left. We offer a live, hands-on demo for those who want to try before you buy.
     

  4. VisualTour.com
    You create the tour content (a very simple process using the VisualTour software) and then follow a wizard to upload to the VisualTour server. Your site contains one permanent link to all your properties at visualtour.com. No site maintenance is required, but visualtour.com does carry a monthly charge. You must purchase the VisualTour software. For details on purchasing at a discount, contact Allen Hainge Seminars—800-695-3794. An added benefit of using visualtour.com is that all your properties are automatically submitted to Yahoo classifieds. This is a HUGE advantage to your sellers - and will likely result in your selling more of your listings yourself. To see an example, Click Here. Contact http://www.visualtour.com for pricing.
     
  5. Magazine Format
    If you have a small number of properties and the inventory doesn't turn over frequently, place them on your site in a magazine format. This entails a photo and description for each property. We charge you for hooking up each property when we do it this way (as opposed to setting up spot editing whereby you can do it yourself.
     

  6. Self-Maintenance - FrontPage Template
    We create a template page for you. You then update properties yourself using Microsoft FrontPage which you purchase from Microsoft or any other software source that offers it. You should be an average+ computer user to attempt this method. FrontPage isn't rocket science, but it does require an investment in learning.
