How can I edit my system preferences?

Use the Preferences link on the left side of your Toolkit to adjust required fields on lead capture forms, listing pages and ignored searches.

Required Fields on Lead Capture Forms

Check your preference to indicate the additional information you would like the website visitor to provide on request forms like home search, CMA and report library. You can choose to make the Phone Number and/or First Name a required field on lead capturing forms like MLS search, CMA and reports.

1. Phone number is required

2. First name is required

NOTE: Requiring the phone number may discourage visitors from completing the request form and providing their email. This may reduce the number of lead captures on your website. On the other hand, if the visitor offers you this information, you have a better chance at following up with them.

Listing Page Preferences

Control the selection of associated tools on all pages that show listing information.

Choose between maps supplied by MapQuest, or personalized and branded Google maps.

1. Google maps, branded with your picture and contact information. Includes aerial, topographical and environmental map options.

Provide your clients the convenience of a bird's-eye view of the listings on a map. A mouse-over on the house icons displays quick summary for each listing plotted on the map. Just click the house icon on the map to view a summary of the property details. Clients can change the view for featured and office listings by choosing "show results as a list" or "show results on map". From the Toolkit (Preferences tool), you can set the default view for the listings to list or map.

2. MapQuest maps

Include the Mortgage Calculator tool on pages with listing information.

• The Mortgage Calculator allows your clients to automatically estimate monthly payments for the listed property, by changing the down payment, interest and loan amount to determine the most optimal payment option.

What is SmartZip score and how does it help me capture more leads?

SmartZip has an index of over 70 million + homes in their database where each home has been rated based on ownership or investment score.

When a visitor views a listing with the SmartZip score on the property details window, he has two choices:

Request that the Realtor® provides the SmartZip analytic report for this property

Buy the report online direct from SmartZip

The report adds another lead capture opportunity on your AccelerAgent™ website, since both choices will require the visitor to enter his information before getting the report. Here is a sample of a SmartZip Report (sample)

To allow your website visitors to see SmartZip scores on listings details pages:

1. Login to your Toolkit.

2. Click on the Preferences on the left navigation bar.

3. Within the Listing Page Preferences section, check "Show SmartZip Score on the listing details pages."

4. You can type the minimum SmartZip score to show. Properties below this score will not have SmartZip rating on listings details.

On agent websites that have SmartZip subscription, there will only be the choice to fill out a name & email address. The Realtor® will be able to send the report to that visitor. For agent's without a SmartZip subscription, the visitor can either request the report from the agent or be redirected to SmartZip to buy the report.

Please contact our support department support@propertyminder.com or call (800)743-5820 to order SmartZip subscription.
