Showcase Properties via Google Maps

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

For Ubertor websites that have “autofill categories” (AFCs) there is a new feature available that will showcase the listings nicely on a Google Map. This is a fantastic way to show these AFC listings in a different view so that your clients can actually see where they are in the specific neighbourhood.

For example, have a looked at Calgary Realtor Kelley Skar’s website. He has broken out specific areas to showcase their listings. In this case, we are looking at “Country Hills Real Estate” from the list view:

If the user clicks on map view, the same listings are showcased on a Google Map so that the user can navigate around the map to see where each property is.

Building Your Brand

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Here is a video from my brother Kevin. It is about “Building Your Athlete Brand: Telling Your Story & Building Your Support Network”. I’m a bit bias of course, but I think Kevin is a great example of how someone new to a sport (or a new Realtor) can use the internet to standout. He is talking athletics… but when you watch it, think about your real estate business. What do you do that makes you different and stand out from your competitors. Kevin uses YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other tools as well as Ubertor to build a brand in a space that is very new to him. Can you do the same in the real estate business? Even if you are new?
