The Importance of Custom Web Design – and An Amazing Deal to Help Get You Started!

Sometimes, all it takes to perk your customer’s interest is a little personal touch. Something interesting. Something a little quirky. Something that showcases your personality.

 

When visiting any website, the first thing you will notice is the iconic header image. Oftentimes, the importance of this thin image at the top of a website is overlooked though. I know that I sometimes forget to take note of a header image when I am browsing the web, but if it really stands out, chances are it just subconsciously sticks. The ones that do stick are the ones I find myself returning to again and again. They ultimately become the authority on that subject matter to me.

 

This leads me to my next point.

 

Would you read a newspaper without first looking at the headline? Would you read the article if the headline wasn’t interesting, quirky or simply demanding attention? The core foundation of modern day websites stem from the form of newspapers and magazines complete with a headline (header), table of contents (site navigation), content layout, ads… the list goes on and on. It’s fairly difficult to drive home the importance of a personal header, but I hope this sheds some light.

 

Here at RealtyTech, we are always excited when our customers ask to purchase a custom header. This isn’t simply because RealtyTech is a business and the purchase will help keep the lights on, but because our customers actually love the personality that a customized header adds to their website and the real results that it produces. This leads to another reason why we love producing custom designs; our clients that have them simply perform better!

 

Because we feel that our clients benefit so immensely from custom website design, we are now offering a
50% off Custom Header Special for a limited time. The process is as simple as ordering the deal, submitting a design form that instructs our web designers how to make your header, and watching as we implement your new site design. Make today the day to share your business with the world the way it was meant to!

 

Purchase a Custom Header for 50% off today by visiting this page or by giving us a call at (818) 889-0064!

Adding Sold Listings Tutorial

Yes, the highly-requested Sold Listings feature is now live and available for use to all Agent123 website users. Take a look below to see how to use this great new feature!

 

How it works – Your sold listings page just got a lot smarter! You now have the option to automatically have your sold listings added to your website for you, add sold listings by MLS#, or to add sold listings manually.
 
Add Your Sold Listings Automatically

  1. Go to your website and click on “Agent Center” at the very bottom of your page
  2. Choose to log into your “IDX123”. Enter Username and Password and press “Login!”
  3. Hover over “Properties” and click “Sold Properties” on the drop down menu.
  4. Click the drop down menu for “Select System” and choose which MLS board you are with (if you belong to multiple MLS boards, you must add them one by one). Next, click on the letter above that corresponds with your first name. Find your name in the list below and click on “Add Selected Agent(s) to the List Below.”Done! The sold listings available under that MLS# will be automatically added to your website within 24hrs.

 

Add Your Sold Listings by MLS
  1. Go to your website and click on “Agent Center” at the very bottom of your page
  2. Choose to log into your “IDX123”. Enter Username and Password and press “Login!”
  3. Hover over “Properties” and click “Sold Properties” on the drop down menu.
  4. Type in the MLS# for the property you want to add in the space provided and click on “Add”. If the property is no longer in the available to be automatically added, you will see “Can’t find MLS #”.  If you believe that you have received this message in error, please email support@realtytech.com with the MLS# input, and any other information you have on the property, such as the date it was sold. If the data is no longer available, you can still add the property manually.

 

Add Your Sold Listings Manually
  1. Go to your website and click on “Agent Center” at the very bottom of your page
  2. Choose to log into your “IDX123”. Enter Username and Password and press “Login!

  4. Click on the “Add Sold Listings Manually” link at the bottom of the page
  5. Fill out the information for the sold property that you would like to add, and click on “Save Property” when finished.
  6. Your listing will now be added to your list of sold properties highlighted in purple. Next, click on the camera icon to manually add photos to the listing. Click on “Add Photo,” then “Choose File” when prompted. Browse your computer for the photo that you want to use, then click “Open” and finally “Upload.” Crop your photo as necessary, and click “Save.” Continue this step and add as many pictures as you need!

The Future Between Google+ and Your Real Estate Business?

It doesn’t surprise me that yesterday, Google decided to reveal another new feature to back up their Facebook challenger, Google+. The social network has been picking up a lot of steam since the end of last year, hitting an estimated 150 million active users and still going. It also seems that out-“teching” Facebook is going to be the deciding factor for Google+ in the long run though, so new features were to be expected.
While G+ still has a lot of catching up to do if it means to really contend with Facebook, there are still some wonderful features about it that are worth checking out now. One of which is the new feature I was talking about, referred to as “Search plus Your World.”

 

Google has implemented a new twist to their search engine, their most famous feature, to create a sort of smart search that understands the user and their relationships with other individuals. This means people and pages you know can populate searches (this feature can be turned off), making Google+ your way to the world’s first true “Social Search”.

 

So how does this factor in to your Real Estate business? (Forgive me for taking so long to get here.)

 

Simply put, it’s all about branding and localism. Branding on the web has always meant casting a big net, and focusing on the sheer volume of pageviews, general rankings etc. With the implementation of this “social search” idea, your brand will thrive off of the brands and individuals in your area and within your extended network. With this new feature, having a social standing online with your physical and Google+ community is going to be what recommends your pages to individuals. This means branding your business to your community is going to be an absolute must. Google does a better job explaining how it works here, I am suggesting in the long term here though.

 

So while Google has gone and traced the Earth and created the most sophisticated search engine in human history, they want to use their new technology to simply make your social world more personalized and ultimately, a little bit smaller.

 

In the end though, this is all simply my speculation on the new search feature and could, in the end, be very different from the user experience I (or even Google) expect it to be. Google+ might end up tanking in a year as well. We can’t know at this point. I’d recommend making a profile for now though!

Announcing the Anonymous Lock-Out Feature! An Excellent Lead Capture Tool!

Today marks the release of our latest new feature, Anonymous Lock-Out! We are very excited about this new tool simply because it is a viable option for our many clients that have no problem generating traffic but can’t secure viewers as leads.

 
With the Anonymous Lock-Out feature Agent123/IDX123 website owners can set a limit on listings that users will be able to see. Once the viewer reaches the designated limit our new tool will “lock them out” causing them to sign up or sign in to an existing account in order to continue viewing your listing details. This not only whets the viewers appetite with some listing details to begin with, but gives them an ultimatum to continue browsing. This function has been tested to be an effective tool in capturing higher-quality leads and in greater amounts!

 
If you feel like you could benefit from the Anonymous Lock-Out Feature and would like to know how to add it to your website, click here and follow these quick and easy steps!

Using Embed Codes (YouTube, Facebook, etc.)

Adding a video to your site is a fun way to add some flavor to an otherwise static page. Individuals browsing your page will also be more likely to engage in your content if it’s in video form. As well, getting people to engage with you through social networking can be very beneficial to your business. Embedding is fun and easy and offers a lot of interesting options for improving your website. Follow these easy steps to learn how to embed code into your pages.
 
NOTE: For this example we will embed a YouTube video, but this tutorial will work similarly to embedding other code to your website.
 
STEP 1
Before we even start, locate the page for the YouTube video you wish to embed on your website. It is recommended that you use your own video footage, or get the permission from the owner of the video before putting it on your website.
 
 
STEP 2
After locating your video, you will see the “Share” button directly under the video player. Clicking the “Share” button will drop down the share menu with the video link shown below the video player. You will then have the option to share the video on Facebook, Twitter etc. You will also see the “Embed” button. Click it.
 
You will now be given the “Embed Code” for embedding the video within your site and some options for the size of the video you would like and more. Once you have chosen the necessary options, highlight the text within the embed code box and right click or CTRL-C to “Copy” the code.
 
 
STEP 3
 
Now go back to your Agent123 website and access the Agent Center at the very bottom of the page. Log in to your website. When the Agent Center has loaded, click the “Manage Pages” button at the top of the page within the Dashboard. Locate the page you would like to edit and press the “Pencil” Icon. This will bring up the Page Attributes Screen. Simply press “Save and edit this page” to continue to your page.
 
 
STEP 4
Once you have accessed the page you wish to edit, click on the “Pencil” Icon below the Page Title. This will open the content editor.
 
 
STEP 5
Within the content editor, click on the “Source” button at the top left of the menu. This is the section you will go to whenever you would like to add code directly to your content.
 
Now simply right click or press CTRL-V to paste in the embed code that you have copied. Now simply click the “Update” button and watch as your embedded content shows up directly on your page!
