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

This weblet is a great tool to engage your website visitors and get them to start experimenting and using your listing tools. It lets your visitors instantly see the listings they are looking for. All they need to do is simply type in the desired location, such as a city, neighborhood, postal/zip code or an MLS® number.
This weblet contains additional options. These will allow you to fine-tune the way this weblet looks and behaves. For example, you can configure this weblet to automatically search a particular property type, and you can add “Property Types” as an additional control to this form.

As you may know, we launched a new, completely revamped web-based Private Office a little while ago. Today, we are very pleased to announce a complete re-work on the way our weblet editing tools look, feel, and function.
“Weblets” are little building blocks that comprise the contents of our web pages. They account for most of myRealPage website platform’s flexibility and power. They allow you to add complex, interactive features to your pages with just a few clicks. myRealPage offers several dozens of various weblets, such as “Text Editor”, “Embedded Video”, “Image Banner”, “Interactive Map”, “Local Places”, “Listings”, “Listing Showcases”, as well as a series of weblets designed specifically for mobile websites.
We decided to go through every single one of our weblets’ editing screens and re-organize, re-engineer and re-design the way they look and behave, including the actual Weblet Picker itself. We made each configuration screen easier to understand and work with and we “annotated” all the options with little question marks to let you know right on the spot what each of the options does. Today’s update is the result of this laborious but rewarding process. Take a look at the screenshots below and explore your new Private Office yourself: http://private-office.myrealpage.com
Here is how you would add new content to your pages:
This is our new Weblet Picker, a modern design for a modern CMS:
Here are some examples of the new weblet editing screens:
Our mobile weblets also got a facelift: check out one example below:
We hope you will enjoy using these new features as much as we enjoyed making them! Let us know what you think: feedback@myrealpage.com : we are always interested in what you have to say.
We are pleased to release a new Theme 704 as part of the updated theme package for myRealPage websites. This theme provides a well contrasted color scheme with a package of matching graphics. The theme is fully customizable, as is the case with any of our stock themes. Give it a look in the new Web Private Office: it’s easy and fun! Don’t forget that you can always enable this theme and view it in the “Staging” area of your website before publishing it to live.
