Lofty Unveils AI Powered Virtual Assistant at Inman Connect New York
Lofty Assistant serves as platform's central intelligence hub and features new voice capabilities to better support the way agents work; Lofty executives to discuss the next phase of AI at annual industry event PHOENIX and NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2024 -- Today, award-winning real estate innovator Lofty unveiled Lofty Assistant, a new virtual assistant that operates as the platform's central intelligence, managing all automations and AI features. From qualifying leads to creating marketing content, the new assistant was designed to better support an "on the go" workday, typical of most agents, and provides a single point of control for all of Lofty's robust AI capabilities. Unveiled at the annual Inman Connect New York, Lofty Assistant also features new voice capabilities designed to help busy agents spend more time focused on building strong client relationships and closing deals. Lofty Assistant Designed for the Way Agents Work With nearly a decade of experience supporting the real estate industry, Lofty keenly understands the typical way agents work and roadblocks to tech adoption when working on the go. The new virtual assistant eliminates the need for agents to cater to the technology and instead was designed to enhance existing agent workflows. Now, Lofty Assistant not only answers online chats and qualifies leads but can create content for multiple channels – from email and text to social posts and blogs. By empowering agents with a wide range of capabilities virtually, Lofty removes the friction in platform adoption and delivers a practical resource in efficiently growing the business. "As a busy agent, I prefer technology that meets me where I am, which is typically on the go. If it is too hard to incorporate into my day-to-day life, I know I won't use it," said Adam Frank, "The CRM Coach™," eXp Realty. "I appreciate Lofty's continued focus on delivering new capabilities that fit my life and not the other way around. I look forward to learning more about how Lofty Assistant can help me be more productive and grow my business this year." New Voice Capabilities Boost Productivity and Increase Efficiencies With simple voice commands, Lofty Assistant can be directed to call, text or update a lead allowing an agent to conduct essential yet time consuming tasks on the go. An agent can also ask the assistant to call the Lofty knowledge base to learn more about how to execute new or unfamiliar tasks. By making resources easily accessible, Lofty Assistant helps shorten the learning curve and allows real estate professionals to take full advantage of all the powerful Lofty platform features. In addition, Lofty Assistant can easily field inbound calls, answer typical questions, and create a new lead based on feedback. If deemed a high quality, sales ready lead, Lofty Assistant can transfer to an agent to engage further. And because the virtual assistant works 24/7, agents can rest easy knowing they will never miss a call or opportunity to qualify a lead, even after hours. Future enhancements are planned to further customize the assistant and continue to optimize the AI for high quality lead capture and engagement. Commitment to AI Refinement Fuels Platform Enhancements A recognized tech innovator, Lofty has been on the forefront of AI for years, thoughtfully and practically applying the technology to address an agent's most pressing business challenges. Today's announcement underscores Lofty's razor focus on meeting time strapped agents where they are and delivering innovative, yet practical tools designed to boost productivity and increase efficiency. Continued enhancements to the AI are planned to refine the virtual assistant and enable new learnings for the benefit of the more than 50k agents who rely on Lofty today. "With deep roots in the real estate industry, we understand the nuances of typical agent life and designed Lofty Assistant to serve as an easily accessible resource for hard working agents on the go," said Stuart Sim, Vice President, Industry Development, Lofty. "New voice capabilities represent our team's commitment to delivering continuous platform enhancements and expanding our AI to help real estate professionals be more productive and efficient, no matter where they are. We are thrilled to unveil these new capabilities at Inman Connect and share our experiences with colleagues, partners, and customers."

Delta Media launches DeltaNET 7, real estate's most customizable, automated, AI-powered CRM-based digital marketing platform
Canton, Ohio -- September 12, 2023 - Delta Media Group, one of America's largest technology solutions providers for real estate brokerages, announces the launch of one of the industry's most advanced CRM-based, all-in-one digital marketing platform. The new "made for mobile" DeltaNET 7 leverages artificial intelligence and automation with unmatched brokerage and user-level customization. "By simplifying nearly 30 years' worth of features combined with the reinvestment of over $40 million, DeltaNET 7 takes the all-in-one brokerage solution to the next level by avoiding sacrificing functionality for simplicity," said Michael Minard, CEO and owner of Delta Media Group. "DeltaNET 7 is more simple, more automated, and even more customizable for real estate brokerages and its agents than ever before. It's true customization – not just an off-the-self white-label solution. Most importantly, it's agent-friendly and made for mobile," Minard added. For the first time, large real estate brokerages can create and design their own custom-branded platform to meet individual needs based on specific roles, ranging from agents to admins to other support staff. In addition, the DeltaNET 7, which recently began rolling out to brokerages, uniquely allows ultra-personalization that features down-to-the-button design and navigation that brokerages can fully control to amplify their brand. "What we appreciate the most about DeltaNET 7 is the hyper-customization," said Travis Guillory, Chinowth & Cohen, Oklahoma's largest independent real estate company with 14 offices across the state and 700-plus Realtors. "We were able to visually and functionally customize DeltaNET 7 to fit our needs and look more appealing to our agents. This has resulted in a huge increase in engagement company-wide," he added. Delta Media Group, the only real estate technology offering a written "no sell guarantee" to its customers, fuels the marketing platform used by nearly a dozen of the top 100 (or number of the largest top) most innovative real estate brokerages in the US. Family-owned and profitable for nearly 30 years. DeltaNET 7 is fully integrated with Delta Custom Websites with industry-leading SEO software. In addition, it offers a new customizable Delta Academy online training & education system as well as a full stack of digital marketing tools, including its one-click CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) machine Delta Pitch. DeltaNET 7 also features Social Connector for agent social media automation, Local Showings, Properties in Motion, and Open House Connector. "We've seen a new-found excitement for the platform amongst our agents as they embrace the vastly improved CRM and its simple integrations to core tools like MCFL, Market Watch Reports and the aptly named regeneration of Delta Create" said Brett Williford, Realtor/Manager, Irongate Inc., Realtors, an industry-leading brokerage based in Dayton, Ohio. Williford added, "The new dashboard and navigation systems are simple to use, streamlined, and logical. The learning curve is small, the benefits are big and dynamic," Front and center in DeltaNET 7 is its "My Customer For Life" marketing tool, a dynamic, AI-driven email newsletter featuring new, unique content each week. With a stunning 60% click-through rate, content automatically customizes to the user's interest based on engagement. In addition, brokerages can customize all major elements of the newsletter for customized branding and individual agent information. Built on top of Delta's new AI platform, Delta Pitch allows agents to create a complete CMA in as little as one-click but also doubles as a presentation builder. It instantly provides all relevant properties and essential information in an interactive flipbook. Delta Pitch also creates a new lead generation opportunity for brokerages. When consumers visit their Delta-powered website and enter a property address through the AVM, consumers can automatically get a CMA based on current listings in their area. DeltaNET 7 features a unified brand identity, so all internal tools look and feel the same. For example, brokerages can create custom dashboards showing agents their daily scheduled activities. In addition, brokerages can gain insight into agent CRM use and lead processing - automatically - based on the agent's customer activity. DeltaNET 7's AI also remembers individual preferences. For example, when agents return to the system, they will see information on the last contact opened. Another significant new brokerage feature is DeltaNET Academy, an agent training center. The new integrated Academy empowers brokerages to offer customized and personalized training courses and deliver class schedules to agents. Delta Media Group, Inc., located in Canton, Ohio, is a leading and trusted technology partner for many of the best-known real estate brands, including over 80 LeadingRE Affiliates and more than 50 top-ranked brokerages nationwide.

RealtyFeed and Generation Z Are the Future of Real Estate
We live in an era in which intuitive technology has overrun traditional and acquired systems. For decades, users have been forced to go through multiple pages of manuals and hours of training in order to be able to effectively use a new app or tool. The real estate industry has been one of the slowest industries to catch up. However, this is going to change. With Generation Z stepping into the market, new technologies are poised to make the necessary adaptations. All of this brings us to RealtyFeed, a groundbreaking technology developed by Realtyna. RealtyFeed is developed to build a future for the real estate industry, inspired by Generation Z. What Is RealtyFeed? After years of working with real estate agents, brokers, developers, and influencers, Realtyna came to the conclusion that there is a lack of appreciation for user experience in real estate apps and tools. That and numerous discussions with the new generation of real estate professionals inspired the team to develop an all-on-one platform to: Gamify real estate user experience; Provide a social platform for Realtors and their clients, B2B2C; Simplify real estate transactions; And much more. How Does It Gamify Real Estate Transactions? Log in to your MLS website or open your CRM. In most cases, it looks like what software used to look like in the 1990s, or it doesn't work very well. The main issue is that most apps and tools require hours of practice or training until you can get some results out of them. RealtyFeed has been designed with the aim to provide an intuitive experience for users. Now, users of RealtyFeed can improve their business by passing levels and reaching certain targets—just like you learned how to work with Instagram or TikTok. How Does It Simplify Real Estate Transactions? Simplifying real estate transactions goes way beyond gamification in RealtyFeed. If you go back to your daily transactions, the first thing you see is the number of tools you have to use to get things done: CRMs, websites, social media, and MLS systems, to name a few. RealtyFeed makes this simple by bringing everything under one roof. It is an all-in-one platform developed to bring Realtors and their clients together. What Can I Do? The future belongs to those who build it now. Realtyna is offering a limited opportunity to those who want to co-invest in revolutionizing real estate technology with RealtyFeed. This offer is going to be valid for a short time, so if you need more information or wish to take action, head out to our Republic.co page to learn more.

A free webinar that details the new program is set for Tuesday, August 25, at 3:00 pm Eastern Time, with details here. "The best CRM is the one an agent will use," says Michael Minard, CEO, and owner of Delta Media. "Delta Media is offering agents and teams a CRM solution that's instantly adopted because it's fully integrated into the automated tools they'll use every day both for their websites and all their digital and traditional marketing." Minard explains individual agents and teams can leverage an array of automation using DeltaNET 6, from set-and-forget drip prospecting campaigns and My Customer for Life auto email engagement offerings to Facebook and LinkedIn connectors, and its unparalleled eCards and flyers platform. "One system to capture, cultivate, and connect to clients," says Minard. In addition to the built-in CRM, one of Delta's platform's most significant advantages is website and digital marketing customization, ensuring differentiation between brands that compete in any market. "Agents and teams thrive on differentiation," he adds. Minard notes artificial intelligence improvements will enrich its DeltaNET 6 CRM capabilities. New AI features will power agent and team websites by offering consumer suggestions and automated marketing engagements - all tracked automatically inside its built-in CRM. Consumer search, for example, will monitor consumer behavior to anticipate the next steps. For agents and teams, artificial intelligence will help them review their sales funnel and make suggestions on which customers need to be contacted.

Chime Unveils New Three-Line Dialer to Expedite Calling Efficiency and Increase Agent Productivity
PHOENIX, May 05, 2020 -- Chime Technologies, an award winning operating system for the real estate industry, today announced a new fully integrated Three Line Dialer tool to expedite calling efficiency and support increased agent productivity. An addition to Chime's existing Call Packages, the new feature allows ISAs, agents and brokerages to quickly dial up to three leads at once making it easier to identify sales ready buyers and sellers and save agents valuable time. By relying on innovative technology from Chime, forward thinking brokerages eliminate the time consuming and mundane task of wading through long lead lists with individual calls, freeing agents to instead focus on revenue-generating activities. To learn more about Chime's sales acceleration platform, please visit HERE. "Time is an agents" most valuable asset. Adding a Triple Line Dialer to Chime's already powerful CRM helps me focus on money making activities like writing contracts and conducing house tours as opposed to tedious hours spent on the phone dialing one by one," said Brett Baker, The Baker Team. "Now, instead of spending nine hours on the phone with a single line dialer, I can spend three hours, call the same amount of people, and still catch my kids little league game in the same afternoon. Priceless!" Today's agents and brokerages often have hundreds of cold or expired leads to contact, requiring several hours per week to call one-by-one with little to no return as the majority of leads don't even answer. The new Three Line Dialer was built to allow for the dialing of up to three different numbers at the same time. As a result, an agent can connect with the one that actually answers to not only work through the lead lists more quickly, but efficiently connect with high quality leads. Unlike competitors, the Three Line Dialer is fully integrated into Chime's AI-powered sales acceleration platform, ensuring call logs are immediately and directly synced to lead profiles in the platform. This results in an up to date CRM that accurately reflects all contact attempts made. In addition, by filtering out fake leads, agents are armed with reliable lead lists to reach high quality buyers and sellers in a relevant and timely manner. With unlimited call minutes and the ability to make up to 2,000 calls per day, the Three Line Dialer tool features several key options including: Questionnaire: Outlines common questions to ask leads; automatically populates lead profile in Chime platform Call Scripts: Templates can be customized to ensure messaging stays consistent and focused Callback Message: Record a personalized callback message to avoid missing the opportunity to connect, should more than one lead answer Automated text message: Customize as follow-up for each individual lead "We make it a priority to connect with agents across the country to intimately understand their day to day challenges and deliver the most valuable platform on the market today," said Mike McGowan, Vice President, Sales, Chime. "Our new Three Line Dialer reflects our commitment to streamlining time consuming processes that plague the real estate industry and empower agents with valuable tools, built on innovative technology, to increase productivity for long term success."

Showcase IDX Deepens Integration with LionDesk to Help Real Estate Agents Grow Their Businesses
Showcase IDX just announced a new, deeper integration with LionDesk that will help real estate agents grow their businesses and close more transactions this year. LionDesk has been one of our premium integration partners for years. Agents using our IDX solution and consumer engagement tools have been able to see their leads generated through Showcase IDX appear in their LionDesk accounts. We're excited to announce that we have updated Showcase IDX to Liondesk's new v2 API and in doing so have added more functionality and useful information for agents. These enhancements include upgrades to digital privacy and security, new lead activity events, and significantly more useful listing information. "Providing an exceptional experience for customers from website to sale is crucial for an agents' success," said David Anderson, Founder and CEO of LionDesk. "Giving LionDesk users the ability to integrate with Showcase IDX is another step towards supporting their success at every level." "Today, we're excited to announce new features and a better experience for agents and brokers that are using both LionDesk and Showcase IDX to grow their businesses and relationships with clients", said Scott Lockhart, CEO @ Showcase IDX. New OAuth 2.0 Account Authentication that Makes Set-up Easy and Secure With its new API, LionDesk has implemented the new open standard for secure authentication and authorizing connections between applications. As opposed to other forms of authentication, OAuth 2.0 uses access tokens over secure HTTPS connections, instead of credentials like API Keys. You're probably familiar with the process, as it's what Facebook and Google use when you want to sign into a website or application with your Facebook or Google login. What this means for Showcase IDX and LionDesk users is a more robust, secure connection between our two applications. This is a good thing. When setting up the premium integration, all you'll do is click the connect button and a LionDesk window will appear where you can login (if you're not already logged in LionDesk) and then simply click the button to approve the connection to Showcase IDX.

New Lead Activity Events We have added more events and features to the integration to give you more insight within LionDesk to the contact's activity on your Showcase IDX-powered website. Property Viewed Your client views a property on your site. We are now adding additional listing information to each property viewed, including the main photo, bedrooms, bathrooms, days online, year built, listing agent name, company, phone number and email; and more. This will let you see more details on their home search and engagement on your site from within the LionDesk dashboard. Favorite Property Removed – NEW! Know when a contact removes a property from their list of favorites on your site. Saved Search Added As your client's home searches progress, their interests and requirements do as well. Now, you can know when they create a new search query by seeing the information added to the contact within LionDesk. Favorite Property Added Know when a new property catches your client's eye. We'll alert you when a property is added to contact's favorites Saved Search Removed – NEW! Know when a client removes a saved search query. User Login – NEW! Your clients should be using the IDX and home search tools on your site. Showcase IDX has always tracked when they visit your site from new listings or to refine a search. Now, you'll be able to see that a contact logged in to the IDX on your website from within LionDesk. Showing Request – NEW! In addition to your alerts from Showcase IDX about a request for a showing on a property, you'll now see this showing request within LionDesk too. More Listing Information in LionDesk Activity Stream Your LionDesk Activity Timeline has never had so much useful information on the home search and listing information for your clients! We've been able to add all the information you'd want about a listing as they view and save listings and made it easy for you to find it within LionDesk.

LionDesk launches innovative AI technology, Lead Assist, ahead of refreshed platform
Nicknamed “Gabby,” the LionDesk Lead Assist feature will automatically engage with new leads to increase speed to lead while agents focus on revenue-producing activities Carlsbad, March 14, 2019 -- LionDesk, the leading Real Estate CRM platform that helps sales professionals connect, communicate and close leads faster, is proud to announce Lead Assist, an automated lead conversion assistant. Nicknamed, "Gabby," Lead Assist will qualify incoming leads with the goal of booking appointments, while agents focus on current business activities. Closely mimicking true artificial intelligence, Gabby will engage with incoming leads and existing clients via text message to further determine lead quality and speed response to general customer needs with the ultimate goal of qualifying the lead for the agent. Built into its highly conversational discourse is the ability to recognize terms such as "divorce" or "just married" as they relate to reasons why homeowners often need to buy or sell. Gabby probes for specific reasons for contact, such as timelines for buying and selling, financial qualifications, price ranges, and locations. "Giving LionDesk users the ability to turn on Lead Assist to qualify incoming leads will increase their conversion, and more importantly give them more time to spend on important life moments and highest revenue producing activities," said David Anderson, Founder and CEO of LionDesk. LionDesk bases much of its product innovations on the power of "follow-up," that is, helping agents stay in touch with people during the decision-making process, whether that decision is who to work with or what to buy. Thus, Lead Assist maintains an outreach effort for 90 days, ensuring at least 15 touches after initial engagement. LionDesk worked closely to develop Lead Assist with Structurely, a provider of automated chat and follow-up technologies for the real estate industry. The product is now available to add by all existing LionDesk customers. "This is the next step in many new product innovations coming out in 2019 from LionDesk," Anderson said. LionDesk is preparing to launch a comprehensively updated version of its product.

Contactually's 2018 State of Customer Relationship Management Report Reveals Best Practices for Real Estate Agents
Analysis of user behavior provides guidance on how agents can successfully manage their accounts WASHINGTON D.C., Feb. 5, 2019 -- Contactually, the real estate CRM of choice for many of the country's top real estate brokerages, has released its 2018 CRM Usage Report which details how Contactually users successfully used the platform to manage their networks. "We developed Contactually out of a desire to help people strengthen their business relationships," said Zvi Band, CEO of Contactually. "By looking at 2018 user data and surveying active customers, we can see how our customers used the CRM to build successful connections." Most salespeople and business professionals start using a CRM to get organized and work smarter. A database on its own is simply a collection of names. By dividing a network into segments such as with the Contactually Bucket system, users can better allocate time and resources to focus on the people that are most important to business development. Real estate agents and brokers surveyed reported that 27 percent of their network brings in business and referrals — when using a CRM, you can easily find and prioritize these individuals. On average, real estate agents spend more than 60 percent of their day away from their desks. Because of this, they can find following up with leads and existing customers difficult. While the majority of agents ranked responsiveness as very important, most felt they could be better at follow-up. Current clients require at least two attempts to get a response, while it may take four tries to reach a new lead. This need for effective follow-up is top of mind for brokers and technology managers. Keenly aware that 2019 will present a competitive market environment, these leaders expressed that having agents both develop stronger relationships and also keep up with new prospects are essential for continued success. "Real estate agents are constantly adding to their networks," added Band. "With all of that activity finding technology that doesn't just keep contacts but actively monitors and surfaces relationships in need of attention is critical."

In simply minutes a day, Contactually's easy-to-use platform enables personal engagement at scale, resulting in more leads, referrals, and increased business.

Say Hello to Your Very Own IXACT Contact 'Keep in Touch Coach'
IXACT Contact is very excited to announce the release of "Keep in Touch Coach", another powerful Keep in Touch feature to help you stay top-of-mind with everyone in your Business Pipeline. Your very own personal assistant, your "Keep in Touch Coach" is a new Dashboard widget that will automatically tell you which contacts to reach out to next, based on each contact's Status, and the Keep in Touch frequency set for each Status. When it's time to reach out to a contact, the Coach will present a 'contact card' that includes all of the contact's most important relationship information right at your fingertips, including their Status, Prospect Type, assigned Groups, Last Prospecting Activity, Last Note, phone numbers and email address. If you want to open the full Contact Profile, simply click the contact's name. You can also filter by a selected Status if you want to focus only on contacts in that Status. You can 'action' each contact by entering a Prospecting Activity, updating their Status, or you can 'snooze' the contact in order to have them re-appear in a selected number of days. The Coach automatically resets a contact's Keep in Touch frequency each time you enter a Prospecting Activity. The Keep in Touch Coach feature has also been added to our Mobile app, so you can reach out to the right contacts at the right time from anywhere. To turn on your Keep in Touch Coach, go to the new Keep in Touch tab under your User Profile, select the box to turn on the Coach, and make any desired changes to the Keep in Touch Frequency for each Status below. We have pre-loaded a recommended frequency for each Status, but you are free to customize these based on your own preferences. (Note that the Keep in Touch Coach is an alternative to using the Keep in Touch Calls functionality in IXACT Contact. If you take advantage of Keep in Touch Calls, you already know that they create recurring call reminders in your Task List and/or Calendar at a selected regular interval for each contact. They are not based on each contact's Status. Instead, you select the appropriate call interval for each contact. While you can use both features at the same time, we highly recommend using only one in order to establish a consistent "Keep in Touch" strategy. If you turn on the Keep in Touch Coach and you already take advantage of Keep in Touch Calls, you will have the option to turn off the Keep in Touch Calls functionality. Be careful as this will remove all your Keep in Touch Call reminders from your Calendar and Task List.) Start your FREE 5 week trial of IXACT Contact now.

In the new extension, whenever a user reads or writes an email message, they can view and edit contact details and see key components of their relationship tracked in the CRM, including the best time to send email; past activity; and the ability to add tags and Buckets (Buckets trigger follow-ups so that each relationship remains strong). These features make it even easier for agents to build relationships with their contacts because Contactually works how and where agents want to work. Since the extension launched, more than 2,000 Contactually users have installed and used it.

Moxi Works and MoveEasy Team Up
MoveEasy joins the Moxi Cloud to deliver agents a comprehensive moving concierge service July 18, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Moxi Works recently announced another tool that has been added to their open platform ecosystem, called MoveEasy. MoveEasy is a comprehensive moving concierge service offered to homeowners directly from your website while saving you valuable time on researching post-transaction tasks for them. York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works said, "We're delighted to have MoveEasy on the Moxi Cloud. They provide a unique solution to a common problem in the industry. It's not an agent productivity app, but rather, a great app for agents to extend to their sphere of influence – keeping the agent in-flow and valued." MoveEasy works by helping organize a move, assisting in completing tasks, and connecting clients with vendors in addition to helping agents stay top of mind even after the transaction has closed. It does this by creating a personalized moving dashboard where clients can complete various moving tasks and receive branded weekly email reminders. Tasks include anything from updating utilities and changing their address, to finding moving and storage options, and shipping their car. Agents can add all of their preferred cleaners, painters, and other vendors that can assist in the home selling/moving process. Since the entire service is branded, agents can stay top of mind, even after the transaction has closed. Everything stays accessible from the unique dashboard. MoveEasy is integrated into the Moxi Engage CRM. When a transaction moves from active to pending, MoveEasy pulls all the necessary details from Moxi Engage into the MoveEasy dashboard. The client can access the dashboard and keep up to date with everything happening and organize schedules for tasks. Everything done on the dashboard is sent back to Moxi Engage, within the activity section. While the client can access everything on the MoveEasy dashboard, the agent can access everything they need right in their CRM. Venkatesh Ganapathy, CEO of MoveEasy said, "We are extremely excited to be part of the Moxi Cloud. With so many different tools available for the real estate agents to help their clients, they have to constantly keep learning different systems. Our integration allows agents to continue using Moxi Engage CRM as they normally would, while MoveEasy operates in the background, guiding their clients through the stressful moving process." About Moxi Works Moxi Works is a residential brokerage services company that makes agents significantly more productive and brokerages more profitable by helping them effectively run their businesses. Moxi Works' integrated tools are centered on a sphere-based selling process that drastically increases agents' repeat and referral business, while lowering overall technology, training and support costs for the brokerage. With Moxi Works, brokerages are able to make their agents' lives simpler and their businesses more successful. More information at moxiworks.com.

Moxi Works Launches Facebook Ads Feature for Agents
Advertise Your Listing Allows Agents to Create Facebook Listing Ads in Under Five Minutes June 19, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Real estate technology company, Moxi Works, is set to launch a new product next month, changing the game for agents' marketing tactics. Advertise Your Listing allows agents to create a Facebook ad for listings in under five minutes. Not only that, but it sends reports directly to their clients with the click of a button. Social media advertising has become a major player in real estate marketing. With over 1.94 billion active users on Facebook, it's a channel that consumers expect agents to capitalize on. The problem is, there's a big barrier to entry. Since the system was built for digital marketers, a significant number of agents find it intimidating and cumbersome, and therefore never get around to trying it. Making matters even worse, agents already have a hard time finding extra hours in the day. This means that although they are expected to be doing great and consistent social media marketing, rarely does it fit into their busy schedules. That’s why Moxi Works stepped in. Greg Sundberg, VP of Marketing, said, "It's important to be a digital savvy agent to compete and win business. Facebook is an obvious choice for us to help agents to do that. We believe this is the absolute easiest way to advertise online." By simplifying the process, Moxi Works was able to create a product that gives agents the ability to create top tier ads, in a short amount of time. “We have high quality brokers as our clients and they get a disproportionate share of listings, but in an ever-competitive environment it’s critical that they demonstrate value to their sellers. Advertise Your Listing helps them do that, while also being a big agent convenience,” said York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works. “The Moxi Cloud already has all of the info we need - listing info, brokerage info and brand, agent info, photos and a landing page, all of which are automatically created in the Moxi Cloud - so literally with the click of a button and a credit card, an agent can deliver value back to their seller.” Homeowners want to know that agents are taking a competitive approach and actively reaching new prospects. Advertise Your Listing helps agents show clients that they are willing to go the extra mile for them, and can be another cause for referral and repeat business. Moxi also took into account that many professionals are hesitant to use their personal Facebook profile. Agents do not need a Facebook account to use Advertise Your Listing. Find out more about Advertise Your Listings at moxiworks.com. About Moxi Works Moxi Works is a residential brokerage services company that makes agents significantly more productive and brokerages more profitable by helping them effectively run their businesses. Moxi Works' integrated tools are centered on a sphere-based selling process that drastically increases agents' repeat and referral business, while lowering overall technology, training and support costs for the brokerage. With Moxi Works, brokerages are able to make their agents' lives simpler and their businesses more successful. More information at http://moxiworks.com/.

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty Launches New Agent Platform
April 4, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty has launched a powerful combination of the latest in agent productivity technology. Agents now have access to the Moxi Engage™ CRM from Moxi Works, which is fully integrated into an advanced automated marketing platform from Imprev, Inc. "There's a great technology race in real estate that has brokerages scrambling to add the latest innovations to gain a competitive edge and attract new agents," says Matthew Rand, managing partner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty, which operates 26 offices with 1000 agents. "But agents are suffering from tool fatigue: There are too many disconnected apps and tools offered to agents without a focused plan from the broker to tie them all together," he continues. Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty, which is the premier real estate broker in New York City's northern suburbs, closes more than $2.1 billion in real estate sales every year in Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Northern New Jersey. The Rand organization is well-known for its regional technology leadership. It was the first company to put its listings online, the first to offer mapping and directions, and now the first to provide a fully mobile environment for home sellers and buyers. "Combining two best-in-class technologies that are fully integrated helps makes Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty agents' lives simpler and their businesses more successful," Rand says. He adds, "The streamlined experience will also be a powerful offering in our recruiting strategy." Renwick Congdon, CEO of Imprev, a company known for its advanced automated marketing services, explains how the Moxi Works and Imprev integration creates a unique value proposition. "Providing compelling, timely, and relevant content to buyers and sellers helps agents build relationships and trust," Congdon shares. "Delivering the right marketing to the client consistently and automatically can help an agent gain a client for life." "We're making sure agents do the right thing at the right time, which we've seen dramatically increases their new, repeat, and referral business," says York Baur, CEO at Seattle-based Moxi Works. "The technology that BHGRE Rand Realty is providing to its agents will provide a workflow that will be the envy of its competitors." For example, listing and contact information for each Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty agent will be synchronized between his or her CRM and marketing platforms. The streamlined workflow dramatically increases agent efficiency and improves data quality by eliminating the need to enter listing and contact information in multiple systems. The integration also enables the automatic creation of marketing content for a wide range of marketing activities – from promoting a new listing to keeping in contact with an agent's leads and sphere of influence – all without requiring the agent to lift a finger. About Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty is the premier real estate broker in New York City's northern suburbs, comprising 26 offices, over 1000 agents, and closing more than $2.1 billion in real estate sales every year in Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Northern New Jersey.

The Real Estate Accelerator: A Contactually Exclusive
Here at Contactually, our mission is to help grow the businesses of our customers. Whether we're on the sales team, marketing team, product and engineering team, the customer success team or anything in between, we come to work every day with one goal: Figure out what our customers need to be successful, and then deliver it directly to them. In the last few months, we've talked to hundreds of real estate professionals in an effort to understand exactly what they need. We've had conversations with brand new agents, agents with thirty years of experience under their belts, buyer's agents, seller's agents, team leads, brokers, assistants...we've covered them all! It quickly became clear to us that real estate agents needed more than what we were already providing in our professional plan at Contactually, so we turned around and spent months coming up with a solution. We are so excited to announce our newest plan: The Real Estate Accelerator. After hours of talking to hundreds real estate professionals, it was clear they want and need three things: They want to save time They want to communicate more effectively They want to grow their business How Will the Real Estate Accelerator Help Me Save Time? As an account executive here at Contactually, my job is to learn everything I can about my client's business goals, so that I can help them determine whether or not Contactually will be a good fit for their business. After thousands of conversations, the one resounding similarity between real estate agents is that they're very, very busy. And they don't have time for busy work. Good news, real estate agents. At Contactually, we heard you. You want to nurture cold leads, open house leads, new internet leads, past clients and everything in between. But sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day to cover all that. You want an excellent CRM that helps you close more deals without sitting down for twenty hours a week to send out emails. You want to have more time to do what you do best: meet with clients. We heard you. The real estate accelerator combats your lack of extra time with two solutions: Training Automation First, we help you set-up your account entirely. We'll consolidate your database and import your contacts. We'll set you up with our resident real estate expert, Bradley, to train you on the system. No need to spend hours and hours guessing where to click next; we'll teach you what you need to know. Next (and here's the exciting part!), we'll set up all your workflows and drip campaigns (tailored for you and your business) and put them right into your account. Three complete business systems will be yours within minutes: Internet leads engagement workflow Referral generation workflow Open house follow-up workflow With twenty minutes a day, you'll be closing more business and all those forgotten leads you lost track of? We'll help you rekindle the relationship and make sure no one falls through the cracks again. You don't have time to waste with administrative work, so we take it out of your hands to give you more time to spend with clients. How Will the Real Estate Accelerator Help Me Communicate More Effectively? When we were creating this plan, we asked ourselves these questions: What does it take to get a lead to respond? What does it take to build a relationship with a cold lead so that they do business with you in two years when they are finally ready to buy or sell? What does it take for an open house lead to convert? Contactually's answer: personalized, authentic and consistent engagement. On the Real Estate Accelerator plan, we'll curate email templates just for you. Once we've learned all there is to know about your business, our marketing experts will write ten templates in your voice and make sure you have them to send right from your account. Those workflows mentioned above also include 100+ email templates, so you never run out of things to say, and it never sounds canned. With the Real Estate Accelerator, you'll be communicating more effectively in no time How will the Real Estate Accelerator Help Me Grow My Business? Have you seen our post about where real estate professionals' business comes from? We saw teams spending thousands of dollars on internet leads, when their rich networks and spheres were where the majority of their business was coming from.  But regardless of where your leads are coming from, you want to convert every single one of them, right? We saw that realtors tend to have leads (hot, warm and cold) that slip through the cracks. With the Real Estate Accelerator, every lead gets touched effectively and consistently. Automatically. In order to ensure your business' success and growth, we are also giving you two free coaching sessions with a seasoned and professional real estate coach. We don't claim to know everything about real estate (although sometimes we like to wish!), so we're bringing the true experts on board to support you in your new endeavor. Thought that was all? Not quite. On the real estate accelerator, you are also being granted access to a dedicated customer success manager who will proactively check in on your success and be your point of contact if you ever get stuck. We are here to help you grow your business, and consistent support you can count on is our promise as you move through the accelerator.

IXACT Contact Extends Its "No Limits" Real Estate Email Marketing Capabilities
  TORONTO, ON (AUGUST 19, 2015)--New enhancements to IXACT Contact's powerful email marketing platform allow agents to send unlimited mass emails. In addition, each individual mass email message can have an unlimited distribution list. One of IXACT Contact's key goals is to provide REALTORS® with the most user-friendly yet powerful real estate CRM and email marketing platform on the market. The new "No Limits" email marketing engine delivers on this promise in a major way. A study by McKinsey and Company found that email continues to be the most effective form of online marketing today. Email is 40x more effective at acquiring new customers than social media sites like Facebook or Twitter. IXACT Contact understands the value and ROI email marketing offers to real estate agents. The company respects that every REALTOR® has different contact management and email marketing needs, therefore the CRM is offering customers the power to use the effective email marketing platform without limits. Other customer relationship managers have limitations on email distribution and struggle to deliver high volumes of email messages. These limits can impact the effectiveness of the real estate agent's email marketing efforts. "IXACT Contact customers use email marketing to keep in touch with past clients, stay top of mind with prospects, and generate leads," says Rich Gaasenbeek, Vice President, IXACT Contact, "Our software includes targeted drip email campaigns, sophisticated mass email functionality including Campaign Reporting, and a professionally designed and written monthly e-Newsletter, all of which help real estate sales professionals get the best possible ROI from their email marketing. With our "No Limits" enhancements, even the largest team with the biggest database can grow their email marketing without constraint." As part of IXACT Contact's "No Limits" strategy, the company has increased the monthly free allotment of mass emails per agent to 2,500, and real estate teams enjoy 2,500 mass emails per team member, with additional mass emails costing as little as half a penny each. The new allotment will ensure customers are able to share their messages with their entire database, as research has shown that 98% of REALTORS® send less than 2,500 mass emails per month. Individual mass emails can have any size distribution list, and as always, drip email is also unlimited.

How Do You Keep Track of Referrals? Introducing Wise Agent's Referral Tree
We all agree that referrals are an extremely important part of our business. Some say referrals are the lifeblood when it comes to being successful in any kind of sales. Referrals are the most cost-effective way to get new leads and maximize your percentage rate closed. With referrals being so important, it is also important to make sure you have a good system in place to track, nurture, and build relationships with those referrals. Wise Agent has just updated the Referral Tree, making it easy to track your referrals.

From there, take advantage of our ranking system, making sure to rank your contacts that are feeding you the most referrals highly. Once your referrals are in Wise Agent, you will not only be able to track who referred them, but you also have a system in place to work on them and turn them into clients.
