Revaluate Data Repair Solves Costly Problem of Bad and Incomplete Customer Data
New service offering directly addresses the industry's most misunderstood marketing challenge. GOLDEN, CO., Jan., 23, 2023 – Revaluate, a data company that reveals likely movers using third-party validated artificial intelligence (AI), is proud to announce Revaluate Data Repair, a new service to detox, repair, and append datasets creating clean, useful accurate databases to enable efficient and cost effective sales and marketing efforts for individuals, teams and corporations in mortgage and real estate. For optimum marketing performance, a complete contact record includes four fields: Name, Phone, Email and Physical Address. Today's leads are generated by various methods that don't require these fields. Leads frequently lack complete contact records, are inaccurate or false, and over time become outdated, making marketing and sales efforts inefficient and costly. Existing methods for cleaning and completing data sets are costly, time consuming and rarely available. "We discovered our customers were losing money in two primary ways," said Chris Drayer, chief executive officer of Revaluate. "First they were spending money on mailers and marketing services and getting returns, bounces, and send backs due to inaccurate client details. Then, the lesser known issue we discovered was that they were missing opportunities in their database that listed with another agent because they weren't able to prioritize their marketing effort. Our new one-to-one service, Revaluate Data Repair, when combined with Revaluate's award winning Reveal product, addresses both issues." Revaluate Data Repair is an affordable service, performed 1:1 with a human, that repairs and rejuvenates databases of contacts for those in the real estate and mortgage industry with low cost and high accuracy and an average twenty-four hour turn time. The new service detoxes, repairs and appends datasets creating clean, useful accurate databases to enable efficient and cost effective sales and marketing efforts for individuals, teams and corporations in the mortgage and real estate industries. Revaluate is a data company that utilizes artificial intelligence to provide actionable insight for marketers, scoring and segmenting lists and databases by propensity to move. The award-winning, third party validated accuracy is the best in the industry at identifying people who are likely to move in the next six months. Marketers use this refined and targeted data to greatly increase the efficiency of their campaigns. For more information, visit Revaluate.com/talk or email [email protected].

In parallel, Chime's award-winning sales acceleration platform handles the "front office" requirements, combining intelligent lead generation capabilities and front-end IDX websites with a powerful CRM system. Underpinned by a deep technical integration, these two best-in-class solutions will come together to deliver a seamless system for brokerages to better manage both back and front-end operations. To learn more, register here for our upcoming November webinar detailing the integration. Brokerages have long been hampered by the myriad of disparate systems used to manage front and back office operations. Efforts to integrate various point solutions are often tedious and expensive forcing brokerages to spend precious time and resources on technology upgrades and maintenance for multiple systems that are still fragmented and inefficient. As competitive pressures continue to mount, brokerages need the ability to easily automate critical functions and drive efficiencies in order to scale and grow. "The necessity to automate in order to scale has been apparent for some time, but Zillow's recent announcement regarding iBuying transactions underscores just how imperative it is for brokerages to up their technology game plan," noted Mike McGowan of Chime. "This integration with Brokermint will enables brokers to seamlessly automate their entire customer and transaction journey, empowering them to capitalize on the benefits of technology while still being central to the transaction." Like Chime, Brokermint has built a platform designed with innovation and growth in mind. By helping brokerages to seamlessly manage all aspects of their back-office tasks from one centralized dashboard, users have access to the analytics and information they need to bolster office efficiency and focus on high-value activities. Likewise, Chime's AI-powered platform integrates all the critical components agents and brokers need on the front end to generate, capture, and nurture leads to close. By coupling these two innovative solutions together through a deep technical integration, both small teams and multi-office brokerages alike will have the competitive advantage needed. "2020 has been a year of unprecedented change for the real estate industry. Brokerages and agents have experienced first-hand what a powerful tool technology can be for them as they fight to not only survive but thrive," commented Sarah Richardson of Tru Realty. "I am thrilled to hear about the coupling of these two innovative systems as it will empower brokers, such as myself, with a comprehensive technology foundation needed to build our business in the months and years ahead." "For years, the industry has been a mix of individual point solutions. Now, with Brokermint consolidating the back-office functions and Chime driving the front-end, you see a true end-to-end solution," added Andrew Chishchevoy of Brokermint. "We're excited to be integrating with a top platform like Chime." To learn more, register for our webinar on Wednesday, November 18th at 10:00 a.m. PST.

IXACT Contact: The Best Replacement For Contactually
You may have heard of a recent announcement in real estate news; Compass acquired real estate CRM provider Contactually. This acquisition is raising a lot of red flags with existing Contactually users who are worried about data privacy, the rate of Compass' technology development, and the potential conflicts of using a CRM owned by a rival company. Inman reports that Contactually users may not have access to marketing tools as well as access to their data. Users also worry about "Contactually innovations going to Compass products, leaving Contactually users behind." Worse still, Contactually has not guaranteed existing brokerage contracts beyond the end of the year, leaving brokerages with very little time to find, select, and implement a Contactually alternative. With a primary competitor now taking the reins, Contactually's existing clients are growing wary of the fact that their CRM tool may no longer be as easily accessible. Compass may even attempt to recruit agents away from other brokerages using their newly acquired CRM as a source of agent data and leverage. IXACT Contact to the Rescue IXACT Contact is the best replacement for Contactually. IXACT Contact helps agents keep in touch with their Sphere and build relationships just as effectively as Contactually, while offering far more in the way of marketing automation and content. And we typically charge a lot less at both the agent and brokerage levels. IXACT Contact is a 'next generation' real estate CRM that is truly intuitive and easy to use, while offering a much broader range of real estate functionality and marketing automation. IXACT Contact includes these stand-out features you won't find in Contactually: A powerful 'no limits' email marketing platform that includes Campaign Reporting. A professionally designed and written monthly e-Newsletter that's fully automated. A wide range of automated lead nurture campaigns and templates. The ability to manage all your Active Business. Goal setting and performance tracking. A customizable dashboard that makes it easy to manage all aspects of your business. Automated social media marketing and professional agent websites. A unique Setup Wizard and Concierge service to get you up and running right away. IXACT Contact's mission is quite simply to provide THE best real estate CRM that helps you grow your business while being better organized, getting more done in less time, and feeling more confident and excited about your business than ever before!

Inside Real Estate's kvCORE Platform Makes Switching from Contactually Easy
Inside Real Estate's kvCORE Platform Makes Switching from Contactually Easy Salt Lake City, Utah – February 28, 2019 -- Inside Real Estate, the company behind powerhouse tech solution kvCORE, is excited to offer support to brokers who may be reconsidering their vendor relationship with Contactually. "It's an interesting predicament when the technology you trust to both run your business and house your data gets suddenly uprooted and owned by a competitor," says Joe Skousen, Founder and President of Inside Real Estate. There is a definite trend emerging among leading brokerage firms to make an attempt to transition themselves into a "tech company." Realogy Franchise Group stocked up their customer relationship system with the purchase of Zip Realty and deployed the Zap Platform. Windermere was joined by Howard Hanna and Long and Foster in the ownership of MoxiWorks. RE/MAX purchased booj. The results have been spotty. After yesterday's announcement of Compass acquiring Contactually, Contactually users have been notified and reportedly they have until the end of the year to transition to a new CRM. "Nothing can be more disruptive to a brokerage than being abandoned by their CRM provider with short notice," says Skousen. The complications related to tech acquisitions are serious and potentially detrimental to brokerages that now need to scramble to find and transition to new solutions, which can be a complicated process. While Compass, like other big brands, have recognized the challenge with creating in-house tech solutions and the need-for-speed in the industry today, often times it can take years to adapt the technology to your custom needs, merge the resources, and turn it into a successful platform rollout that agents will actually use. This is very evident in the industry today, with many claims and announcements being made on stage, but very few results to show for it. "It takes years to do this right," says Skousen. "Your tech platform needs proprietary functions and features, a robust API, and it needs to be owned by people you trust as your technology partner." "Application Programming Interfaces (API's) and integrations are critical features of any CRM today," says Skousen. "They allow for the CRM to integrate with any number of other software applications in your business to facilitate and streamline the transfer of data back and forth. kvCORE has a wonderfully robust API and the tools and resources needed to help brokerages seamlessly transition from Contactually or other systems." The kvCORE Platform has been successfully rolled out to many of the largest brokerages in the country and the results have been extremely positive. "Every brokerage we've worked with has had a complex web of point solutions and various data inputs. We've worked hard to anticipate these complexities and streamline rollouts resulting in smooth migrations. We've been happy to see results showing agent adoption way above industry norms and increases in agent productivity across the board," says Skousen. This is a crunch time in the real estate tech industry right now. The real winners will be the brokerages who find the right tech partner and adopt the right solutions. About Inside Real Estate Inside Real Estate is among the fastest growing real estate software companies in the industry and serves over 150,000 agents, teams, and brokers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company is the developer of the kvCORE Platform, the only comprehensive brokerage platform that singlehandedly serves the needs of the broker, office manager, team lead and agent. To cater to the unique needs of every business, 50+ deep integrations and vetted partner solutions are available to platform users through the Marketplace, the cloud-based integration center for Inside Real Estate. For standalone teams with brokerages not supported by kvCORE, the k+ TEAM Platform is available with features designed specifically for the team business model.

Inside Real Estate's kvCORE Platform Experiences Rapid Demand and Growth Since Launch
Inside Real Estate, leading provider of real estate technology software, is experiencing record growth since the release of its kvCORE Platform just shy of a year ago. Since its debut in July 2017, the number of kvCORE Platform users has swelled to over 30,000. kvCORE is swiftly becoming the preferred technology platform for brokerages, and their top teams and agents. The platform includes an arsenal of robust brokerage and agent level features, including custom WordPress websites, powerful lead-generation tools, SmartCRM technology with lead scoring and back-end behavioral automation. Since late 2017, top brokerages across the US and Canada have been selecting kvCORE as their technology platform, including The Keyes Company (Miami, FL), EXP Realty (US & Canada), First Team Real Estate (Southern CA), Allison James (Nationwide), Jack White Real Estate (Anchorage, AK), Five Star Real Estate (Grand Rapids, MI ) and many others. Word of mouth among brokerages has been phenomenal, with industry peers sharing personal success with kvCORE, which has heavily contributed to the widespread implementation and well above industry average adoption of the platform. Wendi Iglesias, CIO of The Keyes Company, discussed some of the reasons she chose kvCORE for their over 3800 associates: "Keyes has chosen to roll out kvCORE to all of our associates across all brands because we believe the technology that kvCORE brings to the table will be a real game changer for our associates. Cutting-edge features, such as the real-time contact validation and lead behavioral automation, allow our associates to have more meaningful customer engagements at the right moment to improve the customer experience — all while driving more closed deals." The high level of demand for kvCORE suggests the real estate industry has been waiting for a comprehensive platform solution from which a brokerage can run every facet of their business while also catering to the unique needs of teams and agents. "kvCORE is the top performing real estate technology that many brokerages, teams and agents alike have long been awaiting," said industry veteran Travis Saxton, Senior Vice President of Technology Consulting at T3 Sixty. "Advanced features and automation — that just plain work — contribute highly to the adoption and success Inside Real Estate is experiencing with kvCORE.

The Moxi Cloud Adds Offrs to Its Ever-Growing Open Platform
Offrs joins the cloud platform with their high-quality seller leads July 5, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Moxi Works adds Offrs, a seller leads service, to their open platform, the Moxi Cloud. At Offrs, they identify over 70% of the homes that will sell in the coming year using predictive analytics. Now integrated with the Moxi Cloud, seller leads are automatically placed into the Moxi Engage CRM and are noted that they are sourced from Offrs. Mike McHenry, VP of Channels and Partnerships said, "Together with Offrs, Moxi Works delivers agents new listing opportunities every month. Quality seller leads are discovered and nurtured by our lead generation partner Offrs, then seamlessly integrated with Moxi Engage, providing agents highly valued listing referrals coupled with an automated follow-up process. The team at Offrs have been awesome to work with as we integrated our solutions." Offrs delivers quality leads by conducting an in-depth analysis of the data that then predicts when people will sell. This data is presented to the agent via their "Territory." Each agent chooses a Territory which includes details on every property or property owner, including mailing address, email, phone number, and a predictive seller score that is updated each month based on thousands of various data points. Agents can get their own territories by choosing a zip code. They receive a monthly report that pertains to their territory, showing the likely sellers in said zip code. Rich Swier, Co-Founder at Offrs said, "Our partnership with Moxi will bring best-of-breed lead generation and nurturing to agents and brokers. We are excited to continue our mission of bringing more value to the real estate community." McHenry added, "The reality is, 75% of homeowners choose the first agent who contacts them to list their home. Getting to sellers first is a major advantage to agents using Offrs." Offrs markets to the predicted sellers via email, on-line targeting, direct mail, and call targeting to generate a lead. The leads are then contacted and qualified before being given to the agent in the Moxi Works open platform, the Moxi Cloud. About Moxi WorksMoxi 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.

Moxi Works Launches New Product, Granting Agents Client Insights
April 24, 2017 – Seattle, WA – Real estate technology company, Moxi Works, recently launched a new product called Secret Agent. This new product allows agents to instantly receive public data on their clients, giving them a leg up in sphere marketing. Secret Agent, currently in Beta, gives quick client insights to agents through their Moxi Engage CRM. General demographics, housing info, lifestyle choices, financials, and more can all be learned about clients through the Secret Agent product. "Secret Agent is a feature that not only adds to the overarching Engage CRM experience, but it's also one that has the potential to revolutionize sphere marketing as we know it. Let's face it, the core of an agent's business is built upon a strong client base, but it's impossible to personally keep up with every single one. Secret Agent now does it for them. By reminding an agent to reach out to clients when their kids are heading off to college or letting them know the investment opportunities their clients care about, it frees up even more time for agents and keeps them on track," said York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works. Depending on the public data available, the insights given from Secret Agent might even include information on hobbies, or where clients and prospects donate and invest their money. Agents can potentially see if they have pets, certain cars, or if they're a value shopper. Secret Agent also allows agents to filter their client lists based off of their likelihood to sell. For instance, if there are teenagers in the house, Secret Agent will notify the agent that this family might be interested in downsizing soon. This is all based off aggregated public data. It helps agents quickly understand who they should be targeting in their sphere today, with badges next to the clients that are gearing up for a major life change. Like all Moxi Works products, Secret Agent is mobile optimized through their Moxi Engage CRM and can be accessed on any handheld device, laptop, or tablet. Find out more about Secret Agent, other products, and Moxi Work's open platform known as the Moxi Cloud, 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.

"Real estate 1.0 was a broker-driven world, 2.0 was the age of the agent-driven real estate and 3.0 was the dawn of the informed consumer," said Sherry Chris, President and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC. "Today, we are in real estate 4.0, where consumer data informs everything we do. Launching the Zap platform as the core of our technology strategy enables us to benefit from the innovation of the Realogy platform and build a unique and complementary offering around it. As a lifestyle brand focused on the consumer, we look to the Zap platform as the future of informed, proactive service." "Zap plays a critical role in the relationship between today's consumers and our affiliated agents," said Craig McClelland, Chief Operating Officer of BHGRE Metro Brokers, a leading brokerage firm in Atlanta, Georgia, with more than 2,100 agents and 26 offices. "We were an early adopter of the Zap platform because it provides a measurable competitive edge to our affiliated agents by equipping action-specific intelligence. By integrating Zap into the DNA of our company, our affiliated agents are better equipped to elevate their conversations with clients and make timely, personalized service decisions. Zapscontinued innovation is quickly evolving the Zap platform into a sophisticated lead delivery and incubation system, solving important real estate business challenges including mobile competitiveness and maximizing online leads." Disrupting the Disruptors The Zap platform empowers agents and brokers to transform the way they do business in the online and offline worlds, as well as the ability to use data-based intelligence to enhance service delivery to clients. This is critical in an industry where informed consumers are expecting more personalized service and technology innovation is moving at exponential speed, forcing brokers and agents to keep pace to win. The platform generates IDX-powered websites which feature modules that allow individual brokers and agents to tailor their personal sites to their unique business approaches and local markets. These modules include social media integrations, ratings and reviews, profile information, media sharing, and featured listings. In addition, local insights allow an agent to share their knowledge about the market areas they serve, including points of interest, schools, entertainment, dining and other topics to market themselves with lifestyle expertise. BHGRE-affiliated agents can also provide insights on any properties in their local market. This allows an agent to influence the dialog about a home beyond what is in the listing description. Together, the insight features empower real estate professionals to market themselves with their lifestyle and real estate expertise. These modules and other relevant functionalities combine to create a dynamic, interactive user experience and increase the brokers' and agents' organic search presence. Proactive, Personalized Service The Zap platform connects clients and agents in a way other websites can't – through predictive consumer insights from the platform's proprietary ZapScoreSM feature. The ZapScore rating helps affiliated agents prioritize online leads through consumer behavior: search behavior, saved properties, showing requests, and follow-up campaign interaction impact their score, focusing agents on a service strategy tailored to a consumer's readiness and behavior. Today, CRM is the center of the agent's world. Zap's CRM allows the agent to manage relationships with past, present and future clients as well as track and action against those profiles to cultivate opportunities. The platform provides scripts for phone calls as well as online follow-up plans with accompanying email communications. This allows agents to plant seeds of business development for the future as well as to nurture relationships today. With the Zap platform, affiliated BHGRE agents can track online behavior to better anticipate consumers' needs. This allows the agent to bridge the service gap between the online and offline world. It also provides personalized insights into their clients' needs which allows agents to be more proactive and sophisticated in their service. Forget "Mobile vs. Desktop" Today's consumers don't separate the world between mobile and desktop. Consumers and agents are device agnostic – they expect their various apps, accounts, and correlating data to sync seamlessly between all technology experiences. The Zap platform is designed to reflect the evolving lifestyles and behaviors of both agents and consumers. The BHGRE Consumer App offers consumers the full range of tools they have come to expect for real estate search, including geolocation-assisted search, interactive maps, and saved search functionalities – all synced to accounts between devices. Likewise, the BHGRE Agent CRM App provides agents the ability to manage their business on the go – addressing new leads, responding to inquiries, observing consumer behavior, and identifying opportunities via the ZapScore. The Zap platform mobile experience is made truly unique by agents' and consumers' ability to communicate with consistency and ease through its agent and consumer mobile applications. With mobile applications, affiliated agents and clients can provide each other with property search suggestions, schedule showings and appointments, push relevant notifications, and directly message – all on the go, any time. With the introduction of the Zap platform and all its consumer and agent-driven desktop and mobile applications, the informed consumer and the informed agent are no longer separated by the barriers of technology, schedules, or distance.

IXACT Contact has a long history of encouraging real estate agents to build meaningful relationships with leads and past clients by noting important details in the Contact Profile. With Social Intelligence, real estate agents have the benefit of viewing contacts' interests, employment history, age, and social media bio's, all from within the CRM at the click of a button. This added level of insight provides agents with context and knowledge that will lead to more meaningful interactions with real estate leads and past clients.

Contactually Announces a New Partnership with First.io
We're very excited to announce the launch of our partnership with First.io, a great step forward for Contactually as a whole in intelligence and real estate agent productivity. This partnership will generate a new Contactually product, powered by First, that will give real estate agents unseen, proactive knowledge about their network and will automatically provide recommendations to users when a contact is likely to list their home in the next six months. A brand new way to use Contactually The new partnership with First – a platform that uses Artificial Intelligence to pinpoint when homeowners are most likely to move – will help real estate agents better respond to and manage clients needs. "Our platform allows users to stay top-of-mind with their entire networks, resulting in more leads and referrals," says Contactually co-Founder and CEO Zvi Band. "Agents want to ensure they are always building relationships with the right people, so being able to predict who is more likely to move is something we've always wanted to offer. With our powerful yet easy to use platform, users can automatically begin communicating with these contacts as soon as their moving intentions are predicted, keeping them many steps ahead of their competitors." This is the first of many initiatives involving artificial intelligence and machine learning that will further add value to our customers moving forward in 2017 and beyond. This new product we're rolling out with First will regularly assess a real estate agent's contacts in Contactually using a market-leading AI and machine learning platform, and then predict when a client is most likely to move. The business or agent will be automatically notified, enabling rapid and personalized communications to best meet the client's needs. Bringing machine learning to the real estate industry The real estate sector is a crowded one, with more than two million licensed real estate agents in the United States. In 2015, just over five million homes were sold, meaning that – on average – real estate agents were only able to sell three houses that year. This partnership will help users get ahead of competitors by keeping them ahead of their rivals. "This is important because it helps agents to not lose opportunities within their network," Band continues. "They lose opportunities because they are generally not in regular touch with their networks. This platform enables them to be made aware of opportunities, and respond proactively." Mike Schneider, the CEO of First, adds, "First and Contactually both believe real estate runs on relationships. It's incredibly rare to find companies on the same mission with complementary products. We couldn't be more excited to pair the best mover intelligence with the best relationally-focused CRM to help agents win more listings."

RE/MAX LeadStreet, the online lead management and CRM system, has also been upgraded to a mobile responsive design. Agents will now be able to interact with their listings, contacts, and leads through their mobile devices and gain the added benefit of consolidating their internet leads into a single online system. LeadStreet will continue to provide agents with leads from remax.com and their single page websites with no referral fees. LeadStreet has supplied RE/MAX agents with over 15 million referral free leads since it was first launched in 2006. Today's introduction of responsive websites and innovative LeadStreet enhancements are Phase One of a larger technology initiative being developed by RE/MAX, LLC. In Q1 2016, Phase Two will launch with a newly designed remax.com with improved mobile functionality.

Wise Agent Rolls Out Three New Updates: Logins, Leads, and Attachments
Wise Agent makes updates to the system almost daily; some are completely new features, while others are just small changes or additions. We like to keep our valued members in the loop about these updates, so here are three small enhancements that we have made recently! You can now login using Facebook or Google+ We know you have a ton of passwords to remember – we all do. Wise Agent has made that a little easier with this new feature. As long as you are also logged into Facebook or G+, you can now hit the Login button and be directly logged in without entering your Wise Agent username and password! To set this up, just follow these steps: Login to your Wise Agent as usual Click Welcome in the top right corner, then Profile Under the "name" fields of the Primary User, you will see two buttons – one that says "Authorize Google+ Login" and another that says "Authorize Facebook Login" Click the one you would like to use, follow the prompts, and that's it! Lead disbursement by day of the week We have received a ton of feedback after the recent release of the Lead Management Systems. So many of you have already taken advantage of the email parsing as well as customized the way you assign leads to your team members. One request we received was to add the ability to assign leads by day of the week. Using the "Rules for Leads" section, you can allocate Mondays leads to one team member, Tuesdays to another, and so on, however you would like it to work for your business. This option is located under Contacts > Leads, in the Rules for Leads section. Save attachments to a contact or checklist via Gmail Conversations Here's another example of a time we have added to a newer feature based on user suggestions. Being able to read and save your incoming emails right within your Wise Agent Contact Summary has been a huge hit! If you haven't already, you should check it out – you can read more about it here. The initial release allowed you to view all emails (in Gmail) from that contact, and save an email or an entire conversation to the Contact Notes for that client. Several members requested to have the option to also save those emails to the Transaction Notes if the email was pertaining to a specific Transaction Checklist, and that is now live! So, ask and you may receive! We love to get your feedback, and we really do keep track of every suggestion you send! Watch for future updates, and contact us 24/7 with any questions!

Zapelo Launches at Real Estate Connect
San Francisco, CA – August 3, 2015 – America's one-million-plus real estate brokers and agents use separate technology systems for email, CRM, lead generation, calendar scheduling and task tracking, document storage, electronic signatures, transaction management, and drip marketing. Zapelo is looking to disrupt real estate technology's silo approach with the industry's first cloud-based, wholly integrated and end-to-end mobile real estate management system. "Zapelo is like taking the right pieces from Gmail, Dropbox, MailChimp, dotloop, REESIO and Top Producer, putting them together and making it affordable for any brokerage," says Jack Berube, CEO of Zapelo. Zapelo is a simple-to-use, fully integrated, mobile real estate management system that offers a CRM, lead generation, transaction management, email, calendar and task tracking, workflow checklists, integrated electronic signatures and shareable document storage – all on the cloud. "It's the first system that truly manages the real estate sales funnel from top-to-bottom," Berube says. "Everyone is paying for technology no one is really using. For the technology you actually use, most brokerages will subscribe to multiple products, log in and out of various systems, and re-enter the same damn data again and again. It's nuts," Berube adds. Zapelo launches tomorrow at Inman Real Estate Connect in San Francisco, and is featured as part of the conference's coveted Startup Alley. Real Estate Connect, the real estate industry's preeminent gathering of the leaders in real estate and technology industries, has launched some of the real estate technology industry's biggest brands. Rhonda Duffy (duffyrealtyofatlanta.com), who is ranked as the number one listing agent in the U.S. and the number one agent in Georgia, calls Zapelo, "The Swiss-Army knife" of real estate technology. "Vendors keep pushing single apps or bloated software with features that agents will never use," Duffy said. "Zapelo has created a 'right-sized' technology to include only the features a broker or team needs to manage their real estate pipeline." "Zapelo has made the complex simple and affordable, which is exactly what agents must have," Duffy adds. "Agents don't have time to sit in a training class to learn every new product and most agents can't afford to pay $30 to $100 a month for a dozen different services. Zapelo solves both of these problems." Zapelo integrated product features: Email system: Full-featured email system leverages your email address (IMAP) throughout all these features and connects email to tasks, schedules, documents, and more. CRM tool: Agents can quickly add prospects and clients to a new marketing campaign; everything is synchronized, time stamped and trackable. Transaction management: A fully collaborative system that allows agents to interact with their clients – no exporting or importing, everything is all on the cloud in this single environment. Lead generation: Leads generated from any source can be automatically imported into the platform. Drip marketing: Fast, easy to use templates to stay-in-touch with prospects and past clients. Calendar and task tracking: Everything agents needs for scheduling their daily routine and track tasks throughout the transaction process to help agents keep on top of their pipeline. Electronic signatures: Fully integrated into the platform and ultra secure, works just like the most popular eSignature systems but is completely integrated, storing everything in one place (for brokerages, Zapelo is designed to work in concert with their current solution in most cases). Document storage and sharing: Features a secure and easy way to securely share documents so your customers don't need to open a third-party account to access their files. "White label" for brokerages: The platform is designed to promote the brokerage's brand, not Zapelo's brand, with a 24-hour "White label" offering to customize the platform to the look and feel of the brokerage's brand. "White label" customized branding includes color scheme, corporate logo, and customized task lists.   Today the Beta version of Zapelo is available to real estate brokerages, teams and agents. Brokerages pay a one-time setup fee, which includes their "White label" customized branding, for $500 and $199 a month. Individual agent accounts are $49 per month, and volume discounts are available for brokerages. Zapelo CEO Berube is also offering MLS firms and Realtor associations their own branded versions of Zapelo to offer their members a new potential source of revenue. About Zapelo Zapelo, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is the real estate industry's first fully-integrated mobile real estate management system. This cloud-based platform features just the right tools active agents need to manage their business, including CRM, lead generation, transaction management, drip marketing, email, calendar and task tracking, workflow checklists, integrated electronic signatures and shareable document storage. Zapelo offers brokerages one system to reduce operating risk, boost efficiency and improve the overall customer experience. Discover Zapelo online at http://www.zapelo.com.

Contactually Announces Activity Insights – Easy Reporting, Now With More Power
Discover not only how you're performing, but why. Last month, we released the first incarnation of Contactually's Insights feature, which gives you an instant look at the network health and overall Contactually performance of yourself, and everyone on your team. People — especially those team users — really seem to like it, but almost immediately we heard the desire for more. More detail, more measurement, more... well, more insights. Fortunately, we were expecting this (who doesn't want more insight?), and we've been working on the next generation of Insights pretty much since the last one saw the light of day. Here's a rundown on the latest additions to Contactually's reporting engine, which should be live and available in your account as you read this. "Activity" measures what your team is doing. Let's start with Activity. Ever wonder how you or your team is actually interacting with people? The Activity report shows you exactly that, by breaking down interaction by channel — how many emails, how many meetings, how many phone calls, and how many clandestine meetings in a dimly-lit basement parking garage. Okay, I made one of those up. At any rate, to get the exact breakdown for any team member, simply hover over their corresponding bar. "Reach" measures the scale of your communication. Sometimes you just want to see raw impact — how many contacts is your team connecting with, and who's pulling the most weight when it comes to pure outreach? Well, that's what the Reach report reveals. "Responses" show you the effectiveness of your outreach efforts. As many users know, Contactually includes open, click, and response tracking for certain emails, so you can see which messages are being read, and which ones are directly leading to the results you're looking for. If you're a regular user of this feature (or you work with people who are), the Responses report is a great way to see the results of that tracking at a glance. Insights gives you individual reporting, too. While Insights is a great way to quickly compare a group of Contactually users, it also supports individual reporting — that's great if you're a single user, or if you want to drill down into the history of a given team member. Simply click on any person in a report, and you'll be taken to their individual report screen. As you can see here, our very own Brandt Witt is clearly hard at work consistently reaching out to his network. Contactually Insights makes analysis fast, and even more powerful than before. With this new collection of reports (and I hesitate to even call them that since people often associate "reporting" with frustration and endless configuration headaches), Insights is a now an even better way to quickly assess the state of your, your network, and your team. You can even sort by different date ranges, or export any of the reports to a .CSV file you can slice and dice to your heart's content. Want to learn something about your Contactually usage? Just click the Insights link, and start digging around for yourself. You can get right to the good stuff — with Insights, you don't have to set anything up, create ranges, or figure out variables. After you've given it a spin, let us know what kind of insight you'd like to get next from Contactually. To view the original post, visit the Contactually blog.
