We are thrilled to showcase an example of a multi-language real estate website built for Sunny Lee, a Greater Vancouver REALTOR®. The website was designed and implemented by SplitMango web design studio, who have done many projects on myRealPage website and listing platform in the past. Please, take a moment and check out Sunny’s website at http://sunnylee.ca
Sunny Lee needed a website in English and Chinese and used myRealPage multi-website-per-account support. He simply added another website and chose to let all the content from the original English website be automatically included in the Chinese version; then translated each page as needed. This is what SplitMango had to say about this project:
Sunny's clientele is mostly Chinese so it was very important for him to have a Chinese version of his website. The myRealPage language website was very helpful and allowed us easily set him up with a second website that is simple for him to update as well. We also designed Sunny's mobile page which was important for him as GPS mobile function.

We are very pleased to welcome Andrew Hasman and his team who launched a new custom designed Vancouver real estate website with myRealPage. The new website was built using custom layout and design tools available as part of myRealPage website platform, and takes full advantage of advanced listing and IDX (search) tools. The website was designed by TribalYell, a Vancouver web design studio, whose great work we have featured in the past. Please take a minute to explore Andrew Hasman’s new website at http://andrewhasman.com
This is what Andrew Hasman said about the new website and their move to myRealPage:
“Andrew Hasman and his Real Estate Team switch real estate platforms to myRealPage. After a number of years with another provider I felt it was time to move over to myRealPage. This platform will allow us to better position our website in SEO rankings and provides an easier to use and more tools at the back end. We look forward to a new working relationship with the myRealPage team.
Andrew Hasman and been selling residential property across Vancouver's Westside and Downtown for the past 19 years. We are a full service boutique real estate company providing hands on service to our many valued clients.
One of the public’s most common beefs about working with realtors is the lack of communication and follow through service they receive from the realtor they actually hired. Too often I hear clients say they felt passed on as they were left working with the realtors support staff and assistants.
When you work with Andrew Hasman you get the one on one service that you so deserve when you are buying or selling. I am always available to answer calls, emails and show and sell my clients homes. I am involved every step of the way.
My company is small consisting of 5 full time Licensed Realtors each with many years experience. Two members of my team are fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese so that we can effectively service our many clients from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.”
“Andrew Hasman and myRealPage! What a great final project before leaving my position as Marketing Manager at RE/MAX Real Estate Services and going full time as Director of my own TribalYell Marketing and Design."
Say hello to three new weblets added to a large and growing selection of myRealPage website components. The three new arrivals are:
Twitter Profile weblet : a customizable widget that shows your tweets
Facebook Like Box : a customizable widget that shows activity on your Facebook Page
Google Translate : a widget that displays a “translate” drop-down menu and uses Google Translate service to translate your website pages into a variety of languages
It was possible to add these weblets to your myRealPage websites in the past, but you had to copy-and-paste a bunch of codes and if you wanted to change anything you had to start from scratch. We thought we could do better…. The new weblets will now let you integrate these tools into your websites very easily; and you can always come back later and change their settings without any copy-and-pasting.
You can find the new weblets in the “General” section or simply by typing their names into the search box.
Let us know what you think about these new weblets: we hope you will put them to good use. Email us your thoughts and feedback to feedback@myrealpage.com
