New Features on Our Websites for Realtors: 6/22/2010

Another round of  system upgrades and features now available with Sequoia’s realtor website hosting!

Sales and Rentals property details pages are now integrated with Walkscore. Walkscore is a comprehensive site that helps you find a walk-able place to live by calculating a “Walk Score” for any address. You can register for your Walkscore ID here. Then go to the Settings / Configuration page to enable the Walkscore setting, where you can enter the key that was emailed to you. Here’s an example of Walkscore integrated with a listing.

Welcome emails now enabled when new users register! When a new user registers from the “Sign Up” page and the company does not have lead email verification turned on, that user will automatically receive a new “Welcome” email thanking them for signing up. This is great news for your realtor internet marketing strategy: you can now retain new signups more effectively, as they are receiving emails regarding their new activated account.

Luxury building prices now included with the mortgage calculator! The mortgage calculator now pulls its price from luxury buildings as well as properties. Currently, luxury buildings can have 3 sales prices: 2 Bed Start, 1 Bed Start and Studio Start. When users utilize the mortgage calculator, the price is now pulled in that order. For example, if a user searches for a 2 Bed Start, the 2 Bed starting price that has been entered  uses that by default. Then, it looks to 1 bed start price, then studio price.

ConstantContact marketing tool is now integrated with your website leads! Your ConstantContact account information can now be submitted to now have verified leads pushed to an email list when the lead signs up. To configure, simply go to the Settings / Configuration page in the admin section, and enter your ConstantContact username and password, then the email list you’d like to add leads to. A great feature for your real estate online marketing campaign!
