Embeddable Tours are Coming Soon!

This is Beryl Gosney....

Connect folks, check out this FloorPlan website --- they do Video Tours
that are awesome and affordable.

Think out of the box for a second...have you done a video tour of your
community or neighborhood yet? How about a Video Tour of past clients
homes and then showing them and the family....a new way to present a
testimonial....?

If you work out of a Connect Realty store front (I thought we were virtual?),
consider a tour of the brokerage hangout... exclude the bullpen areas, unless
its practices good housekeeping....lol

Now move on to the link below....
http://www.vifp.com/p/panorama.php?Branded=1&
agent=66&mls=PhotoTour

They are working on an exciting "embeddable tour" feature that
will be included in each FloorPlanOnline Tour. It works basically
the same way you embed a YouTube video into a website or blog.
So as long as your website supports embeddable objects, you just
copy and paste and postion your text around it. This blog post
shows you how it would look on your blog, for example.

As part of the embeddable object tool, they even allow you to
change the colors of the buttons and text on the buttons, as
well as show or hide the button to the Full Tour. This is great
where you want a teaser of the floorplan or video, but want the
user to see the full tour, complete with your branding and contact
info.

Head over to http://www.floorplanonline.com/
and check out their products and services, and yes their pricing
is attractive and available for viewing as well. Enjoy!

HouseFront Launches HouseAds

The Industry's First Geo-Targeted Advertising Program for Real Estate Professionals

Location-Based Advertising Means Professionals Can Now Bid As Much (Or as Little) to Connect with Buyers and Sellers from Their Specific Areas

(DENVER, Colorado - November 8, 2007)—HouseFront, a real estate search and valuation firm, today announced the launch of HouseAds (available today at www.housefront.com/houseads), the industry's first online advertising program that allows real estate professionals to geographically segment their advertising and set their own prices in real time, connecting them with buyers and sellers from their market.

Similar to advertising programs such as Google Ad Words and Overture, where individuals and businesses bid on pay-per-click advertising, for the first time, HouseAds allows real estate professionals to target their ads locally to maximize their advertising dollar in areas they specialize. Through HouseAds, real estate professionals can advertise online, via mobile phones, and drive customers on demand.

"We're giving real estate agents and brokers an entirely new, cost effective way to advertise online that gives them greater flexibility and maximizes their advertising dollars," said James Eberhard, CEO of HouseFront. "The HouseAds system has been designed to efficiently match homebuyers and sellers with real estate professionals in real time; this saves time and maximizes value to everyone involved in the real estate transaction process. Real estate professionals can specify areas they're interested in and then bid the maximum amount they are willing to pay per click. Their ads will then be displayed in front of consumers from their marketplace."

According to Eberhard, when a consumer uses HouseFront.com or their mobile phone by text messaging an address to 'HOUSE' or 46873 to get a home valuation, real estate professionals' sponsored advertising will appear next to specific property information.

"This one-of-a-kind location-based advertising program puts me and my agents in front of consumers who are specifically looking to buy or sell in our marketplace," said Scott Sosso, broker owner of Prudential Palms in Sarasota, Florida. "It also gives us the flexibility to scale up or scale down our advertising and pay rates that are set by the market, not a rate card." Sosso recently started testing the HouseAds program.

"In this down real estate market, it is even more important to utilize advertising dollars effectively to drive customers that are looking to buy or sell a home now, not 9-12 months from now. HouseAds gives real estate professionals the ability to increase or curb advertising spending depending upon business needs," Eberhard said, alluding to the fact that there are no monthly or annual contracts.

HouseAds works like this: an agent places a maximum bid (say $1.00 per click for a specific Zip code or City with the next highest bid 75 cents. HouseAds gives the higher priced ad priority but even better, the system automatically charges just a penny more than the second-highest bidder. HouseAds has been built so that agents can literally create an advertisement, have it posted online, and start driving customers, in just minutes.

Through HouseFront.com, consumers can get valuations on properties, view maps and aerial photos of homes, compare properties, get in depth home information including the home's sales history. Users can also schedule showings and connect with local real estate professionals.

About HouseFront

HouseFront provides real estate search and home valuation tools directly to a consumer's mobile phone or desktop computer, using its patent-pending technology. The company enables consumers to have access to property valuations, details, market trends and sales history on more than 100 million homes in the U.S., both through the mobile phone (by texting an address to 'HOUSE' or 46873) and online at HouseFront.com.

Search House Values of over 100 Million Homes

 

At HouseFront, they're taking the power of text messaging and applying it to real estate. They're bringing accurate, immediate, easy residential real estate values directly to your mobile phone. And, with their extensive databases, we compile accurate value estimates as well as specific property details for over 100 million U.S. homes. Imagine the possibilities!

 

Whether you're a home buyer or seller, real estate professional, or just plain curious about real estate, they've got a great addition to your mobile contact list.

Incredibly simple — all you have to do is text the address of any home (ie: 123 Main St., San Francisco, CA) to HOUSE (46783) and in just seconds you'll know the scoop on that great mansion in the city or the cozy cottage next door, all for FREE!

 

You'll get all this info about the address you text to Homefront:

1. Estimated Value (that house is worth what?!)
2. Number of Bedrooms (where will Aunt Irma sleep?)
3. Number of Bathrooms (less sibling fights?)
4. Square Footage (yep, enough room for the pool table too)
5. Lot Size (Man's Best Friend will appreciate it)
6. Year Built (Do more creaks in the floor mean more 'character?')

 

So what are you waiting for?
Try it right now…
