MyRealPage overhauls List View pages

by myRealPage.com on Tue, Jul, 28, 2009 12:22 AM

Categories:Listings,MLS,Searches,Updates

In the most recent round of updates, MyRealPage has published completely overhauled list view pages of its Listings. We have created four completely new templates, each targetting a particular preference for viewing listings:

EXPANDED: larger photo, more visible information, more visible item actions, larger area for each listing item
LIST: smaller photo, compact information, small footprint per listing item, complete but compact item actions
MAP: location oriented display showing listings on the map with one-line display per listing; complete but compact item actions
GALLERY: photo oriented display, compact footprint to display more photos in a viewable space; complete but compact item actions

Now, the choice of how to view the listings is in your visitors' hands as they can switch between the four views via prominent tabs. You are also free to pick your favourite "default" view for your own listings, your office listings, and for your search results. For example, you may choose to showcase your listings which you have decorated with high-resolution photos via a "gallery" view; or "map" view if you want to highlight your specialty neighborhoods. We have also "thematized" the new templates so that they look great in dark themes.

We have also "tightened up" our templates to make sure that our listing pages display both consistently and predictably. In addition, if you are css-savvy, it is now very easy to add your own css (Cascading Style Sheets) to the listing pages via "Listing Options" in the Private Office: this may be particularly useful if you subscribe to our Listings-only product.

We hope you and your visitors will enjoy these new updates brought to you by MyRealPage.

MyRealPage Listing Search hits iPhone and Android

Categories:Android,Features,iPhone,Leads,Listings,MLS,Mobile,Searches,VOW

UPDATE: Blackberry version of this application has entered development. Read details here.

MyRealPage has launched a very exciting new feature: geo-location aware property searches on iPhone and Android-based phones. Last week, iPhone OS 3.0 has been released and iPhone 3GS has shipped. Just before that, Android "Cupcake" version has been released and HTC Magic launched. Hot on the heels of these events, MyRealPage releases mobile search designed for iPhone and Android based phones (such as HTC Dream and Magic). This is a very new and exciting application space for MyRealPage! We decided to deliver a fully featured set of HTML5 mobile tools that would include both useful search tools for your clients as well as powerful lead generation opportunities.

(UPDATE: want to learn more or have questions? Visit: FAQ: MyRealPage iPhone and Android mobile listing application)

(UPDATE: Read our customers' feedback here: MyRealPage iPhone/Android listing searches get first reviews)

The new mobile application is now in beta and available for public use. While in beta, the mobile search will be available FOR FREE to all current subscribers who have a Listings subscription (including Listings-only subscribers). Even though an extraordinary amount of attention has been paid to details in this application, we expect that it will evolve and change through the beta period.

Here is a quick list of what you can do in this application:

Automatically locate yourself via GPS and see all available listings for sale in up to 1km radius around you
Have the application "follow" you by updating your position and nearby listings as you walk or drive
Drag the map to pan around and see the nearby listings automatically searched for you
Manually override your current location by entering the address of your choice
Login into your Virtual Office Website (VOW) account to see and do more
See full details of each individual listing, including all photos
Email listings to family and friends
Inquire about the listing with the agent/team/broker
"Star" the listing for later review through the Virtual Office Website (VOW) account
Sign up for a Virtual Office Website (VOW) account
Make a phone call and/or send a SMS message directly from the contact forms

We have also included a special request form for your web visitors to have the mobile link sent to their phones. The link to this form is currently located at the bottom of your property search forms. (And yes, it is capable of generating and auto-creating leads for you just like all other listing forms from MyRealPage).

We hope you and your clients will enjoy and have fun using this application!
