    Powerful lead generation and client management tools.

    You or a visitor to your site can sign up for automated property searches and automatic e-mail notification when matching properties come available.

    Example 1. You have 5 clients looking for 5 different types of properties. Nothing is currently available that they like. You simple create an online account for each customer, enter a unique search criteria for each and when properties become available matching their needs, you and your customer are automatically e-mailed a note with a link directly to that listing, but with your contact information prominently featured, not the Listing Agent!

    Example 2. You advertise that you have full live MLS search capabilities on your website. Potential customers visit your site and sign up for the automated e-mail notification using the included online-planner. When a property comes available, they call you to see the home or you follow up, making sure they received their e-mail notification!

    Implementing WonderWebUSA/ListingWare
    Implementing WonderWebUSA/ListingWareSearch with your existing site is a simple process:

    URL/Web Address for WonderWebUSA/ListingWare Search - The URL for your WonderWebUSA/ListingWare Search will come in the form of:

    http://membername.mlsname.com/search
    Do not try to use the code examples for your site. These are examples only. Your specific code will be supplied once you have created your account. It will look similar to that shown above.

    You can incorporate this into your existing web site in a variety of ways:

    Framing - This method involves a web technique that essentially "splits" a web page into sections that, when viewed on screen, appear as one page to the viewer. One usage of this method is to provide a common, static navigational element in one part of the screen while the content that changes appears in another part. You've probably visited a web site where one side of the screen stays still while the other side scrolls - this is framing.


    Spawning - This refers to the technique of causing a new browser window to open when a screen element is clicked. This is the method used to open the link above that shows how to use frames. We'll use it again below to open the search function with no frames surrounding it. When you finish looking at the search, close the window to return here.

    Q: What is Broker Reciprocity / Internet Data Exchange?

    A: Broker Reciprocity, known in technical circles as Internet
    Data Exchange, is the policy instituted by the
    National Association of Realtors (NAR) to govern how
    MLS Member participants
    can display active MLS listing information on their web sites.


    Q: Why should I care about Broker Reciprocity?

    A: Broker Reciprocity allows for the greatest amount of
    exposure of an MLS's property listings. Small Brokers with few
    listings can drive Clients to their sites, with the Client
    being confident that they aren't missing listings. Large Brokers
    can retain more Clients and increase their value by providing a
    single source for a region's listings.


    Stated another way, it levels the Internet playing field and
    maximizes the visibility of listings.


    • If you are the Buying Agent or Broker, you can be
      sure that you are presenting your web site viewer with the greatest
      sellable inventory possible, all of which the client will learn about
      through your web site.
    • If you are the Selling Agent or Broker, your listings will be visible to all
      of the web site visitors on all of the web sites of the other Member
      participants of your MLS.


    Q: Why should I use WonderWebUSA/ListingWare instead of/in addition to services
    from national real estate web sites?

    A: Listing display services from sites like Realtor.com or MSN Home Advisor
    do give your listings more exposure on a national level, but when it
    comes down to it, most of your business will be done locally. Also,
    when the national sites show properties, they are doing so without
    regard to the individual agent or broker. Those sites consider themselves
    the center of the real estate picture.


    WonderWebUSA/ListingWare keeps you, the MLS Member, at the center of the real estate
    picture. You can present access to the full MLS database to clients
    through your web site. When clients see listings they like, they are
    informed the they should contact you to learn more about them,
    giving you the maximum Buyer's Agent/Broker opportunities.


    Q: Why should I use WonderWebUSA/ListingWare? My MLS has a web site already -
    Can't I just refer my visitors there?

    A: If your MLS already has a web site, that is good - they are also
    doing their part in giving the Members' listings maximum exposure.
    However, when listings are presented through your MLS's web site, they
    show the detail of who the Listing Agent and Broker are and how to contact
    them. If you refer a client there, you may lose them to another Member.


    With WonderWebUSA/ListingWare, your MLS has chosen the best
    solution for you, the Member.
    You can present access to the full MLS database to clients
    through your web site. When clients see listings they like, they are
    informed the they should contact you to learn more about them,
    giving you the maximum Buyer's Agent/Broker opportunities.


    Q: Wait a minute! If I'm selling someone else's listings, I have to
    split the commission with them. Why should I care about that?

    A: That is true - if you're the Buyer's Agent/Broker, there is also
    a Listing or Selling Agent/Broker. Your commission may be cut in half
    on those listings, but your sellable inventory has gone from a handful
    to thousands! With your volume of sales tripled, quadrupled or more,
    wouldn't that be worth it?


    Additionally, many states are inacting guidelines for real estate professionals
    that don't allow them to act on behalf of both the Buyer and Seller. This is
    due to the fact that it is difficult to represent both parties fairly and
    objectively. The real estate transaction process is still a complex one,
    and Buyers will go on needing someone to represent their interests. Shouldn't it
    be you?


    Q: Is confidential information displayed?

    A: As with all other information from your MLS, only public
    information is shown to the public.


    Q: Who governs Broker Reciprocity?

    A: Broker Reciprocity is governed at the national level by
    NAR. Each MLS also has its own policy. Please contact your MLS
    for theirs.


    Q: When was the Broker Reciprocity policy approved?

    A: The NAR Board of Directors approved the policy on May 22, 2000.


    Q: When does Broker Reciprocity become mandatory?

    A: All MLSs must have a policy and procedure for data distribution
    in place by January 1, 2002. If your MLS does not have a policy or
    procedure yet,
    tell us about it
    so that we can get them the WonderWebUSA/ListingWare solution!


    Q: How can I find out more about Broker Reciprocity?

    A: You can read the update
    at One Realtor Place, which includes the full
    text of the policy at the bottom of the page.
