IMPORTANT NOTICE: Website Template Changes

March 23, 2018 by engageRE

In an effort to transition all websites to the new Designer Website Collection templates, agents and offices will only be able to choose a new Designer Website Collection template beginning Wednesday, March 21. Websites with older templates will not be affected, but agents and offices will not have the option to choose an older template moving forward when making changes.

At this time, the new Designer Website Collection templates do not support HTML on the homepage, only the internal pages. If you have custom features such as YouTube videos or widgets from preferred vendors on your homepage, we recommend you do not switch to a new Designer Website Collection until HTML is supported. To view the new Designer Website Collection, click on Site Builder->Collections->Layouts.

Please note: Agents and offices who opt to see a preview of the new Collection templates should exercise caution as there is not a way to recover any previously saved changes (including current live websites) if a new template is selected.

For more information on the Designer Website Collection, please visit https://www.engageremarketing.com/designer-website-collection

Online Seller Report Enhancement

November 2, 2017 by engageRE

We are upgrading the Online Seller Report. The new report will be made available in the CRM the afternoon on November 8th with the first automated email sent on November 13th. All existing Online Seller Reports will migrate to the new version. In addition, we have made the following improvements:

  • Agents can enter partial contact information when searching and selecting the contact(s) to receive the report.
  • You can attach a Saved Search to determine the nearby properties as an alternative to the preset radius search. The closest ten properties will display under the new expanded Market Summary section which now includes active, pending and sold listings when available.
  • Online Seller Report Summary is now an editable text area so the agent can add a custom message.
  • Ability to set an Email Frequency specific to the individual report. The report will still go out on Monday but now you can choose for each report how often it will be sent to the contact.
  • Ability to choose to stop sending the individual report when the listing goes Pending or Sold.

For more details, see Online Seller Report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will my existing seller reports, created under the previous version, still go out?

A: Yes, the reports will continue to out on the same schedule as before, with the new report format.

Q: Can I still send an individual report to an email address, without enrolling them in the recurring report?

A: Yes and no. You can send an individual report to all contacts who are enrolled for that report. However, each recipient must be a contact in the LeadStreet system – sending to ad hoc email addresses is no longer supported.

Q: Do the emailed reports work on a mobile device?

A: Yes and no. The emailed reports should display on all devices, however, some of the information is too detailed for effective use on a mobile device, and will need to be viewed on a tablet or laptop.

Q: Will my setting changes be automatically saved?

A: No. Auto-save is no longer supported. The Save button must be used after making changes to any settings on the report.

Update: 10.10.18

CRM3 Webinar

In this webinar, we reviewed several of the recent enhancements that have occurred over the past few months. Topics covered include:

  • Listing Manager Upgrade
  • Homepage Featured Properties Widget
  • Contact Event Action Plans

 

Update: 2.8.18

CRM3 - Updated Client Emails

With the most recent CRM3 update, there have been changes to the automated client emails for Saved Favorites, Saved Searches, and New Property Server emails. The new email format is "mobile friendly" and also include a mobile friendly signature. Each of the new emails shares the same basic standardized template and are not customizable at this time.

One other important change to note is that your clients will now receive a separate email for each saved search that has been enabled for automated notifications.

Update: 1.10.18

CRM3 - Latest Updates (Webinar)

In this webinar, we reviewed several of the recent enhancements that have occurred over the past several months. We also demonstrated the Designer Website Collection that will be released this month. Topics covered include:

  • Google Sync
  • Action Plans
  • New Seller Reports
  • Designer Website Collection

Update: 8.3.17

Calendar Upgrade

On Wednesday, August 9th, the engageRE/LeadStreet Calendar will be upgraded to a new mobile responsive design with expanded functionality. This upgrade includes:

  • The ability to associate calendar items to your contacts by selecting them when creating or editing the event.
  • A new sub navigation menu item ("Calendar") under each contact where you can create and view calendar items for a specific contact.
  • Five different views of the calendar: Day, Week, Month, Expanded, and Agenda with the ability to filter by type and print.
  • The ability to 'drag and drop' to move an event to another day or expand to revise the time of an event.
  • Color display and shading to indicate current day, scheduled, and completed calendar items.

You can still find My Calendar under Tools but you will see that Tasks (Scheduled, Create and Completed) have been removed. It can all be done and seen in one place now! Some additional items to note:

  • The sub navigation items of File Archive and Bulletin Board have been combined into a new page called Messages (to match the term used on the Client Dashboard) in order to make room for the new Calendar.
  • The Upcoming Tasks/Events has been removed from the Leads Manage page (with plans to add to My Dashboard in a future release).
  • All current items have been migrated. You will find those entered as an Event, Group Event, or Vacation/Holiday under the type “Task”. All other types (Appointment, Task, Meeting, Showing, Open House. Phone Call) have remained as is.

For more details, refer to the My Calendar guide below.

Update: 7.5.17

Introducing the Business Planning & Sales Pipeline Feature

The Business Planning & Sales Pipeline module enables you to enter business goals
and conversion ratios directly from your agent dashboard. Based on contact type, classification, client status, and use of the lead transaction feature, you can visually track your progress against your goals as well as monitor where your clients are within your pipeline.

There are two primary components involved. First, you will need to set the Lead Transaction information for each of your clients within their individual contact record.

New Functionality for the My Agent Dashboard

The newest CRM3 upgrade will add significant functionality to the My Agent Dashboard. The new features will include:

  • Ability to rearrange each section using "drag and drop"
  • Ability to collapse each section
  • Separating and changing the three tiles into rows (CRM3 at a Glance, Client Activity, CRM Potential Value)
  • Changing the title of "CRM at a Glance" to "At a Glance"
  • Removing the Profile section and making the Newest Listings wider

 

Update: 5.22.17

Automated Emails for Saved Favorites

With the most recent change, email updates will be turned on automatically for new customer saved favorites. Once a customer saves a favorite on their Dashboard, this setting will automatically be enabled. Your customer will then receive an email update every time there is a change in the listing such as a price update or a listing status change. This is a new consumer touch-point that will keep your brand in front of your clients and let them know that you are actively engaged and working on their behalf!

Clients can easily opt-out of these email updates by unchecking a new checkbox on the Client Dashboard on the My Favorite Properties page. NOTE: this will only affect new saved favorites, not those that already exist.

Simpler Registration

We've made it much easier for a client to register on your website! When a client is prompted to register on your website, they will be presented with a pop-up window with streamlined choices. This should encourage registration and lead conversion.

RegistrationPopup

Enhanced Client Status Selections

You will also notice some changes on a contact's profile page. There are now additional choices under the Client Status section such as New, Qualified Prospect, Appointment, Offer, and Pending. Note: any contact that had a client status of Under Contract, was migrated to Pending. Also on the Contact Profile section, the Real Estate Needs Profile was replaced with a new field called Contact Type. You can now identify your contact as a Buyer, Seller, or even an Agent.

Web Client Icons - Back by Popular Demand

The icons to signify web clients and non-web clients have been added back! The first column of your Contact List will contain either a yellow globe to signify a web client or a blue Rolodex card to signify a non-web client. You will also notice a new column labeled Status that shows the new client status that you set within each client's profile.

Contact List

Update: 1.30.17

All of the Office Admin area is now mobile responsive. This includes Users, SB (Site Builder), Listings, and Clients.
