One thing we really try to focus on is lead generation. We had a team meating today about all the tools that are available to agents and agreed that listing designers, blogs, etc. are useless unless you can generate leads from them. The blogging software already included a contact form, but today I added a property watch sign-up form.

A property watch is an automatic email that gets sent when new listings that meet your criteria are added to an MLS. Realivent does not have an IDX system, and therefore does not send the emails, but most, if not all MLS’s do provide this service.

How to use:

• If you have already created a blog, you have to manually add this form…All new Property Blogs have this form added automatically.
• go to you blog admin and create a new page. Give the page a name like “Property Watch” or “Listing Watch”
• go to the page template dropdown and select “Property Watch Form”
• Thats it, you have now added a lead generating form to your blog.

Special note, the email will get sent to you email address on record at Realivent.com

When someone fills out the form, you will get an email with all the criteria and contact information. Realivent does not record any of this information…YET. I am working on adding it to the Lead capture and drip system we have, but that will not happen for a while, so you will get an email. After you get this email, just use the information in the email to set up your new contact with listing watch on your MLS. Remember, the faster the potential client gets the first email, the better the chance you will work with them.

That’s it, simple and effective. Good luck using it. Any comments are appreciated.
