MyRealPage overhauls Virtual Office Website forms, weaves into public searches

by myRealPage.com on Mon, May, 4, 2009 01:32 AM

Categories:Features,Listings,Reciprocity,Updates,VOW

MyRealPage has overhauled all of its Virtual Office Website (VOW) forms and made the whole VOW signup "choreography" a great deal simpler. The motivation behind the update was to make the signup and login process for the Virtual Office Website (VOW) as easy and fun to use, as possible. The new forms have been brought in line with the new "lightbox" look-and-feel and appear in-place in the webpage without the need to navigate to a separate place to login or signup. It is now possible to complete the entire signup process without leaving one page. A considerable amount of attention was paid to ensure that the web user was given the most expected user interface interaction and the easiest path to become a member.

Besides the visual and functional overhaul of the VOW forms, they were also tightly weaved into the public search pages (Reciprocity). In fact, it is now possible to structure the entire website without having a separate "Members Only" link but rather advertise all signup paths via public searches. The "Members Only" link can still be used for regions where Reciprocity is not allowed by the local Real Estate Board, or if the website owner chooses to "lock down" listing search access and make it available to registered users only.

The VOW forms not only sport a new fun look-and-feel, but also provide an in-depth functionality; such as, among other:

In-place lightbox effect with animations; their focus makes the signup and login flow very intuitive
Fully automated password recovery system
Fully automated signup process with the option to verify account via an email link or in-place
Tight integration with saving searches while not logged in or signed up
Tight integration with all "lead-in" links that invite a web visitor to become a member, such as "Add to Favorites"; the web visitor will never need to navigate away from their current page
Fully automated account expiry extension system
Intuitively presented options for the user in case of the account being unverified, locked, or expired
Helpful support of logged in VOW users when they try to use other listing forms, such as "Listing Inquiry" or "Email Listing": they don't need to enter image verification codes and their personal info is pre-filled.

We hope you and your web visitors will enjoy the new forms. This functionality will benefit all current MyRealPage subscribers, as well as "Listings Only" customers.

MyRealPage makes it easier to sign up leads from listings, introduces new search forms

by myRealPage.com on Tue, Apr, 7, 2009 11:58 PM

Categories:Leads,Listings,Reciprocity,Updates,VOW

Maintaining the focus on making your web listing searches and tools be the best they can be in generating well-qualified leads, MyRealPage updated its Listings system to bring Virtual Office Website (VOW) signups and logins closer to your listing searches and forms which are open to general public.

Traditionally, in regions where the Real Estate Board rules allow both Reciprocity and Virtual Office Website (VOW) programs, the promise of fuller, more up-to-date information, as well as a host of online tools to organize and save searches and favorite listings; be notified of market changes in saved searches, etc; provide a sufficient incentive for your web visitors to sign up for Virtual Office Website (VOW) access. By cultivating such signups, you cultivate your leads and turn them into clients and more business.

Now, MyRealPage listings pages include VOW toolbar in both Reciprocity and VOW pages, so your visitors don't need to navigate into special sections of your website to obtain VOW access: they can get it right in Reciprocity pages, including all your Predefined Searches which you publish through Reciprocity. By bringing the VOW toolbar, signup and login closer to where anonymous access to your listing searches occurs, MyRealPage brings the potential leads closer to you.

MyRealPage has released a number of new search forms targetting Greater Vancouver, Nothern BC and Fraser Valley areas. In particular, MyRealPage has added a "Simple" search form for all three regions which provides simple traditional search controls for those that prefer such an interface to "rich" map oriented searches. In addition, Google Map Search forms have been packaged for Northern BC and Fraser Valley. As is the case with all search forms that are available by MyRealPage, all of them can be used to save searches and create Predefined Searches.
