Our
Realtor® Solutions
The idea of a technically
savvy real estate agent is not a common one. It
is becoming more of a necessity for real estate
agents to have the proper tools and procedures
in place in order to work with the Internet
savvy consumers. The Answer Team Real Estate
Network was established in order to equip the
evolving real estate agent with the tools to
manage the new generation of consumers. The
Internet has become a preferred information
resource for buying or selling homes.
There are companies
out there offering mortgages, home search tools
and the list goes on.. Yet, none of these organizations
have truly integrated all of the local and regional
resources needed to buy a home. Companies that
can offer this type of integration are proprietary
systems that are only available, if at all, to
large corporations. The ability for individual
agents to compete with these large entities until
recently was impossible.
Technology has evolved
and so has the real estate agent. Managing your
clients today has become automated and managing
your time has become more efficient. Electronic
capabilities necessary to work with the Internet
consumer fall into three areas of organization:
(1) Office Operations, (2) Website Services, and
(3) Website Network

Office Operations
CRM Systems - Managing
your Internet driven customer database can be an
impossibility if done by hand. As a real estate
agent there are limited flexible solutions that
will resolve these management issues. A web based
eCRM solution that manages contacts, transactions,
e-mail campaigns, and reporting for individual agents
or even large brokerages is being developed and
will be available in the Spring 2005.
Wireless Mobile Offices
- The old days of traditional brick and mortar offices
are becoming a thing of the past. The need for
a mobile capability is more essential than ever
before. Technology has allowed real estate agents
to not only be on the road with a cell phone and
laptop, but now they can have all of their clients
information, listings, real time access to the
MLS and Internet access with them as well. To

Website Services
Maintaining websites, data, and simutaneously
ensuring visibilty to the searching consumer is beyond
the capability of most real estate agents. An agent's
job is to sell real estate.
CRM Systems - Processing
leads generated from your websites can be centrally
processed. Entering the contact information into the
database, setting up a VOW access to MLS information,
establishing an email campaign, etc. are all functions
that can be managed from a website.
Web Positioning - Having
a website is just not enough these days. Serious agents
that have been utilizing the Internet to its full
potential have been "web positioning" their
websites to ensure visibility that goes in accordance
with their business plans. Web positioning as a whole
is an ongoing process that you must manage carefully.
Website Maintenance
- How many successful real estate agents really have
time to edit web pages, learn HTML, create graphics
and manage hosting accounts, at a professional
level and also sell homes? Not many! The Answer Team
Real Estate Network's consultants offer superior quality,
rich and powerful content oriented custom websites
that will attract and retain the Internet consumers.
Website Network
Powerful websites offering affiliation
and individuality, including a support network of products
available to your consumers. This is the concept of
the The Answer Team Real Estate Network. We have
worked with designers to develop an arsenal of tools
that will attract, empower, and educate consumers. The
growing network is geographically providing information
to visitors on a wide range of topics.
Agent Network - Through
the use of geographically oriented websites, real
estate agents will affiliate with each other in a
common network without losing or compromising their
individual name branding. To see an example of the
Maryland network visit www.MarylandHomes.biz.
Real Estate Mall -
The mall provides a vehicle to organize subject oriented
websites into a structure that features sponsorship
by the network of member agents. The stores in the
mall are the subject of focus for maps, credit reports,
mortgage pre-approval, home inspections, etc. To visit
the mall itself go to: www.RealEstateMall.us.
