Now you can add a currency converter to your website! Perfect for your out of town clients to see what the prices are in their home currency.

UberConcierge is a new service that combines the value of having an assistant with the benefits of having a team. UberConcierge lets you delegate tasks to them so that you can do more of what you do best – sell real estate! UberConcierge can post listings to Kijiji, do data entry work, graphics work plus much more. For $500/month you get 50 hours of tasks completed! It is a great way to compliment your current assistant or help free you up from many of the tasks that need to be done, but YOU just dont need to be doing.

If you signed up before Feb 24th, UberConcierge will waive the $500 setup fee. Interested in giving it a shot? Email me a sjagger @UberConcierge.ca for more details.

Now within your Ubertor website you can enable Google+ sharing. It works the same way the Twitter and Facebook integration work. Just click on “marketing” then “social networks” to enable Google+ within your Ubertor website. Once you have enabled it, the Google+ icon will show up on your listings, solds and blog posts. Here is what it looks like on the Hamre’s website:

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.

We had a few requests from international brokerages who have agents using our websites from different parts of the world, for the ability to have custom disclaimers on the feature sheets that our system puts out. Well, this functionality was added to the system. Now, any agent can add a custom disclaimer to their website, so that when someone downloads the feature sheet (pdf) it showcases their unique disclaimer. You can see this feature by clicking “Listings” then “Options” in your control panel.

Now, within your Ubertor website you can add a featured called “Where I Sell”. What this feature does is put all of your sold listings neatly on a Google Map. It is a great way to showcase your dominance in a certain area or your expertise across a wide area. Below is where John Jennings and Manyee Lui sell real estate.

Want this featured added to your website… just click on the live help button and ask one of our team. They would be pleased to assist you.

Released last night into the Ubertor system was a new feature that brings in the QR codes that are automatically generated for your listings, to the feature sheet. Now, when you print off a feature sheet there is a unique QR code on each of them. This QR code will take the visitor directly to the mobile version of your listing on their smart phone. Check out your feature sheets and you will see this new feature on all of them. Let us know what you think!

Ubertor allows you to not only upload videos to your website, but you can syndicate them to YouTube, Viddler, Facebook and Vzaar. This weekend, we rolled out a new feature set to the Vzaar video platform called “social sharing”.

The Vzaar social sharing feature allows viewers to share your video on their Facebook page, Twitter account, or they can easily email, copy the video embed code or download the video straight from the player.

These settings have been rolled out and you can see them on your Vzaar videos now.

 

 

 

Above features (From L-R) Ubertor’s mobile version on an iPhone of a Realtor’s listing, a custom mobile website, and the home page of a Realtor’s website using the mobile template
A few weeks ago Ubertor officially rolled out the mobile version for every Ubertor website. The mobile version allows for a simple and easy way to surf and navigate through your Ubertor website on your mobile phone.

By default, the mobile version will display the Home, Listings, Blog, and Contact page. It will also show your brokerage, and your full name at the top of the site, with your contact details located at the bottom. A clear example is shown above for Kelley Skar’s Ubertor website above.

If you click into any of the pages using your mobile phone, you’ll notice how easy it is to navigate and view the contents of the page. Above, you’ll see how a listing will display itself right on your mobile phone. It takes the details right off your website and gracefully makes it all work with the listing price, photos, and information.

The Ubertor system also allows you to customize your mobile template. Above you’ll see Dave Snider’s website - a custom site built right on Ubertor’s system. Using the CSS mobile option built into his control panel Dave was able to create the same design he has on his website, for his mobile version as well.

Above you’ll see how to use the mobile functions right in your Ubertor control panel. It’s straightforward, and simple to use. Remember, you can customize your mobile template just like your website through the CSS.

Feel free to contact us if your have any questions regarding this new feature.

Did you know you can have all of your listings show up on a Google Map. It is a simple way of showcasing to your clients where your listings are in respect to all of the other ones. It is a simple addition to your website that the Ubertor clients services team can do for you. Just click on live help and ask them to add the active listings map to your website.

Here is what it looks like on Andrew Hasman’s website:
