Real Estate Website Upgrades
1) New Website Add-on: LiveHelp
Cost: No setup fee (limited time offer), additional $24.95/month (no contract)
LiveHelp is a live customer support software for your site that enables visitors to communicate with you (or your sales representatives) in real time through web based chat. By delivering live support, your site visitors don't have to leave your website or wait for an email reply to get answers to their questions. They just click a live help button and are connected with one of your customer service representatives. If you are online, a button on your site will automatically say "online". If you are offline, the button with say "offline" and ask visitors to leave you a message instead.
Another great feature of LiveHelp: you can proactively invite visitors to chat with you. Using the software, you can see who is browsing your website in real time and invite them to chat with you!
3) Monthly Search Engine Submission Program with 8 Website Optimization Tools
Cost: Free for 90 days, $47 per quarter thereafter
We have recently partnered with a SEO (search engine optimization) company called Submitnet, and we are now offering 3 months of free search engine submission to all our clients. It's free for 3 months and then $47 per quarter after that. You can cancel at anytime without penalty or additional fees. The program also includes a bunch of helpful SEO (search engine optimization) tools and reports. If you would like to sign up, please use the following link:

How long will it take for your site to be listed by the search engines? Many of the search engines can take up to 8 to 12 weeks to list a site. Search engines, on average, receive thousands of submissions every day so this can be a lengthy process. If you don't submit your site you will not get listed on the search engines, so I recommend using our search engine submission program at least for the free 3 months.
When you sign up, make sure it has our "4 Site" header across the top and it says free for 90 days. If you wish, you can email me your username/password after you sign up and I can set everything up for you.
3) Control Panel Upgrade (version 2.0)

"Hi Kim, Just a quick note to tell you how much I love our company web site!! Last month we had 50 e-mail requests that were generated mostly from the Neighborhood and Brand New sections of our web site, plus we received a good number of telephone calls as well. I am glad you recommended that I purchased the submission service, many of these leads found us on the search engines. These days almost everyone has access to the MLS data with IDX, it's the unique features we offer at our web site that's bringing us more business! Forever a 4 Site Follower!!"
