Real Estate Leads: More Leads, More Listings
Lead generation is a coordinated symphony. Homebuyers and sellers don't just pop out of thin air, and they don't usually come from a single source. Some brokerages make the mistake of putting all their eggs into one lead gen basket, only to find it doesn't produce enough leads to sustain their business. Brokerages need a well-rounded, holistic approach to lead generation. Our foolproof, two-pronged approach includes two major lead categories: leads from listings and leads from agents. Read on to learn how new tools can help you leverage these categories in different but complementary ways, bringing in leads while you sleep.

5 Ways Brokers Can Leverage Single Property Websites
There are many ways brokers can support their agents. Giving them tools that enhance their productivity is one way. Providing agents platforms to market their listings is another. This summer, Century 21 teamed up with Properties Online to automatically generate single property websites for every active listing. "We are passionate about providing every CENTURY 21 real estate professional with best-in-class tools to successfully grow their business," said Century 21 CMO, Bev Thorne, in a statement. Century 21 hosts these sites as subdomains of C21.com at no charge to their agents. Sites are automatically created when a property is input into the brand's backend system. So what can brokerages gain from specialized sites like these? Here's what Century 21 already knows: You'll capture buyers early. When a home buyer finds a property they like, what's the first thing they do? They Google it! A listing's address is the most commonly searched term. Because URLs are generated from a home's street address (e.g., 123MapleSt.c21.com), the sites have strong SEO and are easy to find online. You'll keep leads within your brokerage. Brokerage-wide single property websites means you can ensure that all links on all sites direct only to places controlled by your brokerage. For example, the search sidebar on C21's single property websites sends you to a results page on Century21.com. Likewise, the "My Profile" link leads visitors to the listing agent's profile on Century21.com.

Howard Hanna Licenses CoreLogic Parcel Data For New Website
  January 25, 2016, Irvine, California – CoreLogic®, a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services to provide public record parcel data for every state and county in which Howard Hanna operates, including sold data going back 10 years. With more than 7,000 sales associates and 205 offices in eight states, Howard Hanna is the fourth largest real estate company in America. "Today, only third-party websites have a page for every parcel," said Chris Bennett, General Manager of Real Estate Solutions for CoreLogic. "Look up any address on a portal and they have a page of information built regardless of the property being an active or recently sold listing. If you looked on HowardHanna.com for an off-market listing last month, you would have received a message that the property was not found. With the help of CoreLogic, all of that has changed. Now every property has its own permanent page." CoreLogic offers data for 99.9 percent of U.S. property records, representing more than 3,100 counties and 5,000 data fields, many of which are updated daily. In total, CoreLogic has more than 4.5 billion records spanning 50 years. "We fulfill three enormous strategic goals for Howard Hanna with this data acquisition," said Howard Hanna Executive Hoby Hanna. "First, from an SEO perspective, we will develop more authority for every property in our marketplace. Secondly, consumers will find information on every property in the market place, not just active listings. This will inform what transactions have happened in the neighborhood around a subject property and when. This leads to the third benefit of creating landing pages to develop opportunities for our company to invite homeowners to generate a seller inquiry on their property." "Howard Hanna is striving to maintain its website as a center of excellence that differentiates its services," said Bennett. "Public record data is the next frontier for brokers who intend to compete for consumer engagement online. By licensing CoreLogic data, Howard Hanna is aiming to beat the big portals at their own game and invest in long-term success." For more information on CoreLogic real estate information technology, visit www.corelogic.com. About CoreLogic CoreLogic is a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider. The company's combined data from public, contributory and proprietary sources includes over 4.5 billion records spanning more than 50 years, providing detailed coverage of property, mortgages and other encumbrances, consumer credit, tenancy, location, hazard risk and related performance information.

Obeo Releases Major Upgrades to its Single Property Website
A new version of Obeo's Single Property Website, boosting faster load speeds and enhanced mobile performance was quietly released last week! We are super excited about the deployment of our latest upgrades to our Single Property Website. The two biggest enhancements in this new release are load speed and mobile functionality. According to Bob Davis, Obeo's Chief Technology Officer, "With this latest deployment of new features, we've increased the load speed of our single property website by up to five times!" That's because we've reduced the viewer size from 3,845 KBs to 594 KBs. That's a huge difference in size, and ultimately provides your real estate consumer with a superior experience. Load speed can be especially critical for mobile consumers. The latest statistics from the National Association of Realtors®, show that 89% of consumers are using mobile devices during their home search. These consumers don't have patience when it comes to load speed, and studies prove they will quickly move on to another site or listing, if load speed is too long. In fact, 40% will abandon a web page if it takes more than three seconds to load! SMALL Ipad viewer with ButterflyBut we didn't stop with faster load speed. We also enhanced the mobile responsiveness of our Single Property Website. Responsive websites behave like a fluid, and will flow to fit the size of the screen they are being viewed on. Simply put, a responsive website will be full featured and look awesome whether it's being viewed on a phone, tablet, or desktop. And that is exactly what we accomplished for our Single Property Website. According to Mike Haugen, President of Obeo, "The future is mobile. Real Estate professionals without a mobile-friendly property websites will have a poor results. Consumers are going mobile, and if real estate professionals are not providing a mobile-friendly experience for their consumers, they'll bounce to a competitor whose property website is easier to use."
