HomeGain is pleased to announce that it is running a sweepstakes this month to all AgentView customers. With each home listing that is uploaded between December 1 and December 31, 2008, one entry will be submitted into the sweepstakes to be a winner of a $100 credit towards the agent’s AgentView subscription.

With 84% of all home buyers starting their search online, loading your listings into your AgentView account increases their exposure to online buyers, and enables interested buyers to print flyers of the homes or forward them to family and friends.

Are you an AgentView customer who is interested in partaking in the sweepstakes and haven’t uploaded listings yet? Watch this 5 minute video on how to load your home listings in 3 quick steps.

On January 5, 2009, five winners will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received.

Good luck to all participating AgentView customers!

Over 90% of the real estate leads we capture at Tropical Realty of Suntree are from people registering to view home listings on our website.  I highly recommend an IDX vendor versus your free MLS providers IDX.   There are multiple IDX companies available.  HomeGain offers an IDX website with their AIMS product. We will be launching our 100MPH Marketing Software in about a month for the state of Florida.  However, it won’t be available nationwide for some time.  I also recommend iHomefinder.com. Their tool is very easy to use, reliable and has a good capture mechanism. 

Pay Per Click
