Ubertor Real Estate Blog

John Lowe from GetCConsulting, an Ubertor Approved Vendor emailed me with a mirror of his companies website. John runs his main website here - http://www.getcconsulting.com but has replicated its look and feel on the Ubertor platform here - http://www.getc.myubertor.com

Check out both sites to see how he ported over the look and feel to the Ubertor system.

This is another example of how a CSS designer can manipulate the Ubertor system to have almost any look and feel. So, if your looking to move from a templated website to a custom design, the Ubertor software is the perfect answer.

The team over at KuniDesigns.com is at it again, this time customizing a website that is on the Ubertor software but is not real estate related. Patricia Houlihan, a Realtor setup another website for her “living green” initiative. The goal of this website is to provide information aimed at assisting people in “living green”.

KuniDesigns took an Ubertor website that is on the $9.99/month plan and customized its look and feel. Check it out here.

I wrote a quick post the other day about the new look that Jacob Krause’s website has. He send me an email and I wanted to post his comments here:

“The CSS Unlock feature is the most amazing thing Ubertor could do for us at the Jacob Krause Team. I’ve already had a ton of clients call & email to say our site looks amazing! We wanted to go beyond the standard look and feel of the templates provided and make our custom modifications. Having this feature allowed us to brand our website without any limitations. Stephen Jagger, thanks for changing our world.

Special thanks to Kunidesigns.com for the amazing graphic designs. View our site at www.JacobKrause.com.

Thanks again Jacob for your kind words. It is great to see you taking advantage of all of the features our Ubertor software platform has to provide.

I came across a few stunning websites today that are running on the Ubertor software. These 2 websites have been manipulated by a CSS programmer and are great examples of what can be done by ANY programmer with CSS skills. It is amazing what can be done to the Ubertor software. There are no limits to how a site can be adjusted. Here are the 2 sites:
Jeff Fitzpatrick, RE/MAX and Jacob Krause, TRG Realty

Jacob Krause, TRG Realtor

Jeff Fitzpatrick, RE/MAX

Big News - We have unlocked the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) across all of the plans within the Ubertor system. What does that mean to you? Now on any Ubertor website you can play with the look and feel outside of what the software currently offers. With the help of a CSS Programmer you can customize your website any way you want, quickly and easily. There is no stopping you from making small color changes or totally redesigning your website.

Are you interested in learning more about CSS but don’t know who to call? These 2 companies have done lots of work on our system:

Let me introduce you to Mike Blaney the Marketing Guy who is an Ubertor Approved Vendor. I asked Mike to email me some information about him, his services and what he does for Ubertor clients so that you can check out his services and see if there is a fit with you and your real estate business. Here is what Mike had to say:

“I am a marketing guy providing a wide range of marketing services to small businesses with a specialization in Realtor marketing. My work is driven by my slogan the “Good Ideas are a Dime a Dozen, but Implementation is Priceless” and Ubertor is one of the key reasons I can deliver a quality website in the shortest time frame. I have created website for both Realtors and non-Realtors and find the built-in formatting tools combined with a little bit of html code here and there gives me all of the flexibility I need to create sites that look like they cost thousands of dollars. Then I give a quick lesson on using the Content Manager and my clients are self-sufficient in a day leaving me to work on their other marketing challenges.

One of the websites that I think works well for my clients is http://www.cliveandsteve.com. I create custom banners depicting scenes from the area they market in which reinforces their commitment to the area. The banners were simple to upload to the site using the new Library feature.

Another clean looking site is http://www.www.diannsleeman.com. While this one uses a stock banner there is lots of content and I have purposely made the font a little larger to make it easier to read for clients experiencing a “reduction in their reading vision”.

And while I would have to admit I don’t know everything to comment on the customer support I think the Live Chat feature to solve problems is the biggest time saver. Whenever I have posted a question I get a quick response and can get back to work right away. The next frontier is using the CSS programming capability to create more customized sites.”

TechCrunch is reporting that Slide users are adding 1 million new widgets daily to their system. So I decided to check it out and see what the buzz was all about. I created the below collage in less an 60 seconds by using a banner ad that was on my computer. Have you played with Slide? Could be a great way to add some neighbourhood pictures to your website. Nathan Justus in Seattle uses RockYou to do the same sort of thing, but I really liked how quick and easy Slide was to use.

I just received an email from another CSS Programmer that has been working with some of our clients. Take a moment to check out what he has been able to do with his CSS skills and the powerful Ubertor real estate agent website software. Here is his email:

Hi Stephen,
We have been busy. http://www.JenniferChuRealty.com is completed. I’m putting some finishing touches on Jennifer’s sister site http://www.CoalHarbourWatch.com. These sites use featured listings to create a top 3 weekly watch; as well the watch pages make very good use of virtual tours and maps (see http://www.jenniferchurealty.com/AzuraWatch.php)

I have also recently completed http://www.downtowncalgarycondos.myubertor.com/ for Curtis Bebek in Calgary. This is not a highly customized site and I was able to complete the design and CSS coding in a few short hours. Such is the power of Ubertor!

I am happy to report that working with Ubertor is making websites much easier for both my clients and myself. Your live chat support provides one of the best help desks I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. And the logical, intuitive and robust nature of Ubertor’s content management framework is a joyful thing for a developers.

Thanks!

Parker Web Marketing, a web design firm in Matthews, North Carolina has created quite a masterpiece with one of our clients websites. They took Kelly Stratton’s website, which is on the Premium Ubertor Plan and adjusted the CSS to change the entire look and feel of the website. Plus they hid the Ubertor forms on the site and added input forms from her Top Producer account so that the leads from her site go directly into Top Producer.

Andrew Schulz from Parker Web Marketing emailed me about thoughts on our real estate agent website software:

“Ubertor is the first Realtor content system we have encountered that allows for the freedom to build the site exactly the way we designed it! On top of being an excellent product, Ubertor’s staff is rivaled by none with willingness to go the extra mile just to see that their customers are happy! I found the Live Chat to be convenient and helpful every time.”
– Andrew Schulz, Parker Web Marketing

Here is what Kelly had to say about her experience with us:

“Ubertor has been outstanding to work with. I had another similar website that I was trying to customize with no luck. Their system was difficult to work with and you could never get a hold of them. My web designer came across Ubertor and recommended that we give them a shot. As you can see the results are exceptional. Ubertor has been extremely flexible, open, and available in helping me develop the site that had the look and feel that I wanted ,while maintaining the functionality that I desired for capturing and tracking my business.”
