New Home Search Site Now Live!
We’re excited to announce the official launch of our new home search site!
During the last few weeks, you may have already seen a sneak peek of the new design. The site has some great new features, including:
- Enhanced mobile functionality. Visit the site from your smart phone or tablet >>
- Search engine optimization. Even more visibility for you and your listings >>
- Free CRM tool. Use Homes Connect to manage your leads and clients >>
While we’re excited to offer these new features with the updated design, there are some things that haven’t changed:
- You can still access your REcolorado CONNECT Dashboard and Matrix from the professional login in the top right corner of the website.
- Your information will still display prominently on your listings, with a strong call to action to connect home shoppers directly to you.
- You’ll still receive leads to your email. Homes Connect offers new tools and functionality, but you’ll continue to receive email notifications for every lead through REcolorado.com.
The launch of our new website is just the first of our plans for 2019. Stay tuned for more exciting and innovative updates to come!
Please explain how having Grand Junction available on the public-facing REcolorado site helps me. I want to send clients properties but if the mls part of REcolorado does not see Grand Junction, how does that help me? Do you have webinars explaining this?
Hi Jim – REcolorado.com is the most popular locally-run home search site in the state with more than 2 million visitors per month. The benefit of REcolorado.com is that it allows you to advertise your listing at no additional cost, or, in other words, you don’t pay a dime for the leads you receive from the website. Adding Grand Junction listings to REcolorado.com means more visitors to the site, which helps increase the site’s popularity. The more Colorado homebuyers use REcolorado.com instead of national portals, the better chance we have of keeping you and your fellow brokers at the center of the real estate transaction. At this time, Grand Junction Board of REALTORS has elected not to include their listings in our MLS, but we hope our partnership will continue to grow!
This is definitely a step in the right direction. Anything we can do to make the information easily available and accessible for our clients is really important. Could use a few more steps towards ease of use and functionality in my opinion. Its a bad habit (i guess) but I have found myself using Zillow to send leads to clients more and more since the data merge as their site is really easy to use and much more accurate than it used to be. Wish our tools were as easy for the clients to use.
Thanks for the feedback, Ryan! With this redesign, we were really trying to focus on making REcolorado.com the website you want to use with your clients. We’ve received great feedback on the mobile functionality, as that was a piece that wasn’t available before. Your clients can now easily use REcolorado.com right from their phones. Additionally, as some agents don’t syndicate their listings to those national portals, REcolorado.com really is the most accurate source for home listings in Colorado. And the best part is we don’t charge you for your leads.
