			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest challenges we face in real estate brokerage management is the efficient tying together of fragmented marketing tools, as well as lead generation from multiple sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leads come in from print ads</li>
<li>Leads come in on the phone</li>
<li>We get prospect info from website forms</li>
<li>We may be paying a lead resource to send us prospects</li>
</ul>
<p>There are more, but you get the picture.&nbsp; Each of our lead source mechanisms has their own way of outputting data, and we must get it all into one cohesive lead/prospect management database.</p>
<p>Then, we need to get it from there to our direct mail merges, mass email marketing, and other outgoing marketing tools.&nbsp; It&#8217;s all a snap with our custom real estate databases in WebOffice.&nbsp; The industry standard for exchanging data is the &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Delimiter-separated values" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimiter-separated_values">comma delimited</a>&#8221; file, ending in &#8220;.csv&#8221;.&nbsp; This system takes in and outputs data in this format with just a couple of clicks.&nbsp; We can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Place mailing addresses quickly into a mail merge</li>
<li>Select our mailing list or email list by the criteria we want, keeping our marketing targeted</li>
<li>Actually, we can do a very nice mass email right out of our custom database with a couple of clicks and no export necessary</li>
<li>Bring in data from any of our resources as a .csv import file in just two or three clicks</li>
<li>Get everything in one place from all our sources, and then send it all out from that single database for our marketing</li>
</ul>
<p>Watch the short video below to see how easy a mail merge export can be.

Then, you hand it over to an agent, and many times never hear another word about it, nor is a listing or buy transaction ever placed on the books.</p>
<p>Now, with our custom database for contact management lead accountability reporting, you can monitor exactly how ofen and when your agents are contacting the leads you give them.  Watch the short video below to see how it works.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, real estate is a paper-intense business.&nbsp; Documents are involved in virtually every phase of our business, whether working with listings or buyers.&nbsp; In today&#8217;s mobile world, it&#8217;s more important than ever to make our document management more efficient and secure, and do it with more accessibility to mobile agents, clients and vendors involved in the transactions.</p>
<p>The WebEx WebOffice brings a secure online document management solution to the real estate agent or brokerage.&nbsp; Visualize if you will, a virtual file room, with cabinets for sellers, buyers, agent and employee files, and more.&nbsp; All have special locks that only allow those we&#8217;ve assigned to access them.&nbsp; Actually, our online vault is even more secure than a file room with locked cabinets.</p>
<p>Watch the video below to see how your real estate weboffice can store files, while giving permissions to access them to the specific individuals you authorize.&nbsp; Your client can pick up their documents, while the title company representative can place documents there for your access.&nbsp; The surveyor can upload the survey, and the lender can access what they need as well.&nbsp; It will be clearer from the video, so give it a look.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visualize a process that brings all of the mechanics of scheduling property showings, confirming with client and showing agent, and gathering feedback for reporting.  It&#8217;s all here in one custom database for your Webex WebOffice.</p>
<p>The showings pull data from the listings database, requiring no repetitive input of property information.  In under a minute, the details of a showing request are in the system, the database prompts you confirm with the client, then emails the listing agent what they need to proceed.</p>
<p>After the showing, feedback is returned via email reply to your email of confirmation to the showing agent.  One email, two jobs.  The feedback then goes into the database, ready to report to the client via snail mail or email, your choice.</p>
<p>Watch the short video below to see how it all works.  You&#8217;ll be glad you did.
