Frequently Asked Questions

Boost Basic FAQs

What is Boost? How does it work?
Boost is a service which automates online digital marketing. When you add a new listing to the MLS, Boost will create an advertisement on both Facebook and Instagram. The advertisement will run for five days at no cost to the agent.

Do I need to do anything to get started?
These ads will get created automatically once your new listing has synced with LeadStreet - no action on your part is required! That said, we do recommend that you make sure your Agent MLS ID has been entered correctly into the Profile area of LeadStreet.

Where do my ads appear?
The Boost ads will appear under the "sponsored ads" section of Facebook and Instagram.

How does Boost select the target audience for my ad?
The ad follows people based on Boost’s targeting profile. They select a target audience of potential buyers who are looking for homes for sale that are similar to your listing.

Boost Dashboard FAQs

How do I access my Boost Dashboard?
Once you log into MAX Tech, click on the Boost by HomeSpotter tile in the Apps section.

Is there anything I need to do once my ad gets posted?
It’s recommended that you add your seller’s information to the listing using the Boost Dashboard so that the seller receives a summary of the ad results. Boost will also ensure that the seller is in the targeted ad group so they will see their listing ad in their own Facebook newsfeed.

Can I make changes to the ad?
Yes, you have the ability to edit your ads via the Boost Dashboard that is accessed through MAX Tech. You can make edits to your listing ads at anytime. Once you save your edits, it will take about 15 minutes before the changes are live on the ads that are running.

Leads and Notifications

How do I get my Boost leads into LeadStreet?
Boost is not integrated with LeadStreet, so you will need to manually add any leads into your client database.

How do I receive my Boost leads?
Lead notifications will be sent to you via your MAX Tech email address. At this time, text alerts is not an option.

[email protected] E-Mail Address

April 12, 2018 by engageRE

From time to time, agents receive emails sent to their remax.net email address with a "From" address of dmarc@remax.net, rather than from the original sender. Dmarc@remax.net is a special email address that RE/MAX uses in certain cases to ensure the delivery of emails to your remax.net address. This special case occurs when you receive a message from an email address that happens to use the same email service provider as you (such as Hotmail, Gmail, or AOL). When you Reply to the email it will go to the original sender.

RE/MAX displays the From address dmarc@remax.net as a way to get your mail delivered in cooperation with an anti-spam measure called DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) which your email service provider implemented. RE/MAX MainStreet has an article about this: New Anti-Spam Policies Affect Email.

The DMARC anti-spam measure affects millions of email users and billions of email parcels nationwide. RE/MAX and other email service providers use these types of measures to work to ensure that your email is delivered.
