ActiveAgent: Now Featuring Google Maps and Major Upgrades!

August 19, 2010- Google Maps, easy to format text, document uploads AND realPING automatically enabled? Could it be true that all of those enhancements are for ActiveAgent? YES!

ActiveAgent just got a major makeover complete with a new, modern design and significant upgrades.  This agent web-site solution remains at the same affordable cost while adding new features like Google Map search, which was previously only available to ActiveAgent Professional subscribers.  Now, regular ActiveAgent subscribers can see the huge benefits of having an interactive search right on their website.

ActiveAgent new features:

The Rich Text Editor:  This is BIG!  So long HTML Code, because now you can format text, images and link documents and websites as easily as you would in Microsoft Word.  Upload any documents or images to the Image Library  and then link in the Rich Text Editor.  Choose from different fonts and place and drag photos and logos.

realPING:  For ActiveAgent subscribers that also have a realPING subscription, the realPING functionality will be automatically enabled.  Just one more way to encourage consumers to contact  you with the click of a button!

Google Map Search:  This is a completely new feature! Your consumers will beyond appreciate the ability to plot searches right on a map and view by Satellite, Hybrid or Terrain.  You can even “Jump to” a selected State, County or Zip Code to narrow your search.  What’s more? Balloon icons on the houses indicate an upcoming open house.  The photo here is in the Hybrid view.

Active Agent Upgrades:

HomesProspector is out and Property Wizard is in!  Your clients will love the Property Wizard and its ability to save their searches! Saved searches means ActiveAgent can automatically provide email updates for listings that match their search criteria.

So long manually adding listings to your ActiveAgent site!  ActiveAgent will automatically update from the MRIS database and listings will appear under the “My Listings” button. 

You don’t have to use stock… photos, that is! Upload your own images to the Image Manager to make your website unique.  In addition, you can upload your own agent photo to your ActiveAgent site!

ActiveAgent sites will now have the subdomains of www.myhomesdb.com.  Customers will not have to change their web site addresses on their business cards.  For example, www.homesdatabase.com/test will now redirect tohttp://www.myhomesdb.com/test.

ActiveAgent is affordable and the AdTracker feature shows which listings are getting the most views and which methods of advertising are generating visitors.  For new agents who don’t have any listings yet, ActiveAgent is a great way to advertise their services and knowledge.  ActiveAgent is available to licensed agents for $325 your first year and an activation fee of $99.  Renewals are $350 per year. ActiveAgent fees have not increased with the new upgrades.
