More Mileage for Your Home Sale Flyer

Now you’re getting even more mileage out of every home listing flyer you post to our site. We’ve recently added four new real estate directories, some of which are doing some really cool things, to our list to which all home sale flyers are posted. The new directories include Housefront, USAMLS, Properazzi and DotHomes. Let us tell you a little bit about them.

HouseFront provides consumers with access to property valuations, details, market trends and sales history on more than 100 million homes in the U.S. directly to their mobile phone or desktop computer.

USAMLS, a Free National Open Access Multiple Listing Service, allows realtors, builders and consumers to list both national and international properties for sale alongside a mapped location of the listing. The site also allows potential buyers to easily request more information from the listing brokerage.

The world’s largest property portal with listings in more than 50 countries, Properazzi aggregates millions of properties from just as many estate agents and property Web sites.

Finally, DotHomes is a real estate search engine that provides house hunters with access to more than one million results summaries that link to directly property details on the original listing broker Web sites.

We’re always looking for ways to give you more bang for your buck and get your listings out in front of more potential buyers.

Take a Virtual Stroll Through Your New Neighborhood

Trulia, one of the most popular sites that we post all real estate flyers to, has added a new feature to help its viewers get a better feel for a home’s surroundings. Trulia says it is the first national real estate site to add Google Map’s Street View technology, which allows visitors to “virtually” walk through a home’s neighborhood with 360-degree views using real photos.

The company already used Google Maps; however, says Trulia co-founder and CEO Pete Flint, this takes it one step further. "Our users tell us that they are looking to move into a community, not just a house,” he says. “With the addition of Google Maps Street View, consumers can see everything they need to know about a home on Trulia without ever leaving the comfort of their couch. With Street View now available on Trulia, you can get the true view of a neighborhood and narrow down your choices before ever making a visit."

The new feature is currently available for 40 metropolitan areas.

According to Trulia, it is the fastest growing US real estate Web site with more than 4 million unique visitors per month.

Get Smart About Tracking

Sure, you create your flyer, make it pretty and then post it. But do you ever go back and check to see who’s seen it? You should! Marketing 101 teaches us that we need to know who our target audience is and where our leads are coming from.

With our Open Tracking service, available to all subscribed members, you can see the following:

  • Where those who click on your flyer come from
  • How many clicks you've received from which sites and even the full URL
  • Call and email history

We even recently upgraded the service so you can now see all the information in a more visually appealing layout with easy-to-read, full color graphs and charts.

Got questions? Let us know.
