4,347 reasons to use myRealPage.com? I don’t think so.

Friday, March 28th, 2008

I received an interesting email today from a company that sells websites to real estate agents. I find the use of our logo in their marketing material interesting, but even more interesting is how they choose to compare their system to ours. Strictly price based, and for the most part incorrect. The below image is what they have sent out:

myrealpage

MyRealPage is choosing to use pricing as their tool of comparison but what I find interesting is that they claim that their service is the exact same as ours and that their websites include these services at no extra charge. I would suggest that anyone interested in looking at our services take our system for a test drive. You can signup on our website and have your website ready in 90 seconds, plus you get the first 30 days free.

Try it.

The above image is incorrect in a few ways. First, some of those items are just plain wrong. The ability to change the masthead and banners is included in every website for NO extra charge. Secondly, are they really saying that the SEO enhancement that we offer for $495 is free on their system? Really? I don’t think so. Thirdly, adding pages to your website is included in your site, it just depends on which plan your on. One of our plans gives you the ability to add 20 additional pages to your website as no charge. That 20 is over and above the 10 pages that the site comes with and does NOT include listings or blog posts as pages.

I’m very confident in our system. It is head and shoulders above our competitor(s) and has excellent search engine optimization features that are second to none. We lead, our competitors follow.

Are you interested in what makes us unique and ahead of the pack?

- our system has the CSS unlocked so that any designer can manipulate the look and feel of your website
- even without our SEO enhancement our websites do extremely well within the search engines
- we do not lock clients into a contract
- we do not charge a setup fee
- we offer you the ability to try our system for free so that you know exactly what your getting
- we are on the pulse of real estate marketing across North America
- instant live help
- constant improvement to the Ubertor system
- in page SEO features that automatically update (title tags, sitemaps, etc) [w/o the enhancement enabled - it gets even better with the enhancement enabled]
- video support built into ever listing
- blog built into every website
- plus much more

There are tons of features that our system offers. The big question is, what do you need?

I will end this post with this… Ubertor’s realtor website software system follows Google’s Webmaster Guidelines to ensure your success within the search engines. Does your current supplier?

If you have any questions about your website, Ubertor’s services or anything at all, feel free to contact us. You can add your comments to this post, connect to our live help, or phone us.

Extra Wide Realtor Website

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

As you may have read in this blog, the Ubertor Realtor website software has its CSS unlocked so that any CSS designer can customize your website.

As I’m sure your aware, computer screens are getting larger these days and with larger screens being the norm. With that, comes a great first for Ubertor. The first 3rd party designed Ubertor website has been launched that is 1024 wide. This wider website allows for more flexibility with the content and takes advantage of the larger screens that are now in use across the internet.

If your thinking about reskining your Ubertor website, think about adding some width to it. It will give you lots of options when designing the new website.

Kelvin Humenny of North Vancouver has created inHabit which designs, builds and installs small prefabricated dwellings for art, music, work and living. Could be a good for a place like Whistler or a cabin that is in need of an extra room.
