Tip Of The Month
  

This month we'll provide a quick overview on the how and why of using the Open House Manager available through your Web Assistant.

As a real estate professional, you value tools that allow you to effectively market your properties to maximize return for your sellers. Between technology and traditional tools, your potential buyers have become savvy and expect to find up to the minute information. Potential buyers are looking at web sites that give them the most information possible, from multiple photographs of properties and virtual tours through community and school information. Consumers are most satisfied with their online experiences when they are able to access comprehensive and accurate information easily. Of course, customer satisfaction ultimately translates into sales and commissions for you.

The BIRDVIEW Open House Manager is yet another tool that allows you to take advantage and enhance your website. This tool gives real estate professionals the control of selecting properties on their site and indicating Open House times and dates. It has the flexibility to display open houses as part of a regular home search, or to highlight open houses on a master open house calendar directly on the home page. Additional features include driving directions and descriptions. The easy to use feature allows updates to be made in real time, insuring that consumers always have the information they are looking for.

If your not already using the Open House Manager, be sure to incorporate it into your marketing efforts aimed at bringing in more buyers as well as adding value to the services you provide your sellers.

To schedule an open house for a listing, log in to your Web Assistant, locate the 'Edit' pull down menu and select 'Listing Manager'. Locate the appropriate listing and select 'Edit Listing'. Within the 'Edit listing' window, select 'Open House' and accordingly schedule your open house. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our customer support department.
