Here at Real Pro Systems we know how valuable it can be to have a truly integrated IDX solution available to you. Our IDX integration means that when the listing information is loaded onto your site, you get SEO credit for the content, and you can market your listings with confidence.

There are time saving benefits to an integrated IDX as well. Since integration means that your listing information is pulled directly from the MLS to populate your site it means no more loading listings to the MLS and then entering them a second time on your website! Are you tired of setting up visitors on recurring searches day in and day out? IDX integration automates the process of setting up of recurring searches, so you don't have to!

We just got back from Launching our new "social networking" system called Village Maker. Village Maker is the latest addition Real Pro Systems' product line.

For many years Real Pro Systems has helped agents build their business by capturing and cultivating leads. The next logical step is keeping in constant contact with those past clients. VillageMaker accomplishes just that. It offers a medium to build even deeper relationships with your clients as well as gain subtle introduction to their friends and family. By building your sphere of influence your referral base will grow.

How does it work?  Well, here is just one example. After you close on a home you can gift your client their very own website that has the photos and details for their new home (you can go back through your past clients and give them a site too). Not only will they share the purchase of their new home with their friends and family, but they will also want to continue to use their site to share other fun and important events that happen in their lives.  

The benefit for you (the agent) is that you are the sponsor of this local network and your branding will appear (subtly) at the bottom of all your client's posts. When friends and family of your clients visit your members site, you are gaining a subtle endorsement as the agent of choice to buy a home through. You are also staying "top of mind" with your clients as they are always logging in to use site you gifted them.

Galand Haas, of Keller Williams Realty Eugene and Springfield, provided a great example of an  email that he sends out with his "Monday Morning Coffee" blast. The Monday Morning Coffee is a link to an inspirational message that appears on your website and is updated weekly by Real Pro Systems. 

The email is usually topical to local events/weather and then mentions something regarding the local market conditions over the past week. Sometimes it includes national information like the email below. 

Now for the best part.....This content is perfect to copy and past into your Real Pro Systems Blog. This gives you relevant and unique content that will help with your search engine optimization. So now you can accomplish two tasks at one time.

Good Monday Morning!

Congratulations to the Marist High School Spartan football team and the Sheldon Irish High School football team for their state championships in Divisions 4A and 6A.  Way to go.

mortgage interest rates continue to decline.  Last week I saw some 30 year fixed loans at 5.5% to 5.6%.  This is the lowest these rates have been in several years.  Over the past several months, I have been telling prospective home buyers that this is the time to act.  You may not see the market get any better for purchasing a home than what it is right now.  Good markets are hard to hit and many times we wait to see if they will get even better and then miss the chance to really hit it right on.  It's impossible to predict the future, but we just very well may be a that point where you want to think about making your home purchase.

Have An Awesome Week!

AND HERE'S YOUR MONDAY MORNING COFFEE!!

Sincerely,
Galand
