Add maps to your listing marketing pieces in eEdge

Now available in eEdge, you can add a small map to your marketing designs. This is a great way to provide your customers with a visual, showing them the location of a property or event. With an email design, you can even make the map clickable by adding a link to it.

KW Technology: Systems for Success - Create Contact Groups in eEdge - Groups are a way to organize your contacts so that you can easily identify those with similar traits or goals. For example, you may want to create a group that includes all of the first time home buyers or past clients. Then, you’ll be able to prepare and send customized materials that will address the needs of a specific group. First time home buyers will be more interested in learning about what they should be looking for as they start the home buying process, whereas a group of sellers would be interested in ways to stage their home as they prepare to sell.

Encourage Your Leadership to Keep the KW Connector!

KW Connector Flow

We’ve received a lot of questions about Zillow, ListHub and the value of your Market Center’s KW Connector service powered by ListHub. Encourage your leadership to keep subscribing to KW Connector! 

It’s the only guaranteed way to:

• Ensure that all agents’ listings are pulled directly from your MLS into the KWLS. 
• Ensure that all agents can choose to syndicate their listings to all of the major property portals (including Zillow, Trulia and ListHub’s network of partners). 
• Eliminate the need for double-entry listings into the MLS and KWLS. 
• Make sure that “My Listings, My Leads” applies at the most trafficked consumer portals. 

Using the ListHub Exceptions Report

ListHub Exceptions Report
Quick Guide

If an agent’s listings seem to be missing in KWLS and your Market Center is ListHub enabled, the ListHub Exceptions Report can tell you why a listing may have been skipped by the KW Connector. 

We've created a quick guide you can share with your leadership team that explains how to use the ListHub Exceptions Report.

Download it from the KW Technology Community by clicking Tools > Documents > Quick Reference Guides > ListHub Exceptions Report - Quick Guide.

Is your email account phishing bait?
Recently, we’ve become aware of several high-profile instances of agents’ personal email accounts being compromised. One of the unfortunate downsides of the information age are less than desirable organizations that perform malicious acts and put your identity at risk. 

On today's webinar, we'll discuss how to know if you've been scammed, and if so, what to do about it. We'll also talk about how to avoid scams in the future.

Next week's KW Technology webinars

KW Technology: Systems for Success - Enter Your Listings in the KWLS - To ensure your listings get the maximum exposure online, we created the Keller Williams Listing System (KWLS). Through Keller Williams’ partnership with ListHub, when you enter your listing into the KWLS, we take that listing and create a single property website for it, and we also distribute it across a powerful syndication network of more than 300 different sites. KWLS also gives you control over where inquiries on your syndicated listings go. All leads go directly back to you, the listing agent—that’s our My Listings, My Leads philosophy.
