As a real estate agent in the greater Phoenix area, you’ve got a few websites you need to remember. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to commit them all to memory, so hopefully you utilize your Favorites tab or (if you’re anything like me) have a cheat sheet taped to your monitor. If the cheat sheet method sounds more like you, then we have a handy, free, easy to use, tool for you. Introducing the greater Phoenix real estate toolbar!
Installing this toolbar on your computer gives you drop-down boxes at the top of your browser with links to all the important Phoenix area real estate websites you need. The “Real Estate Tools” drop-down menu has the most popular links giving you easy access to all the major login portals for your real estate business from the Flexmls login to the license renewal login at the Department of Real Estate’s website. We’ve also taken the liberty of including free online marketing websites, all of the local REALTOR® associations, and even some John Hall & Associates links. (If you are not a John Hall & Associates agent, you can simply remove the John Hall menu from Toolbar Options.)
I wish I could say this was an original idea, but it’s not. I was getting inquiries from a couple agents about a different toolbar that was directed to Phoenix real estate agents. The major problem I had with this other toolbar is I couldn’t find a source of who made it or where it was from. One of my red flags of internet browsing is to be very cautious of downloading anything from an unknown source – and rarely do I download anything from a non-stated source. However, since it’s a good idea, I used Conduit to build this one.
I really enjoy learning how to use new tools – especially ones that are easy to use. Yes, it’s free to build a toolbar. Yes, Conduit has a really simple admin panel. Yes, I think you can build custom toolbars for your clients. You may want to include a custom google calendar with the important dates associated with their closing or maybe a link to their flexmls portal.
Install the Phoenix real estate toolbar to see if you like it. Check out Conduit if you decide this is a tool that can separate you from the pack!
Hey, Phil, great idea. The other toolbar was recently brought to my attention and I’ve contacted them because they are violating our trademark and I need them to take down our logo. If you ever find out who they are, let me know.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the comment! I’ll be to sure to pass any info along.
Excellent, Phil. Any chance you could add SureClose link too?
WOW! Love the toolbar. Thanks for putting this together!
Dru – We are still working out some of the office procedures with SureClose. Once we get it squared away and open it up to all the agents – I’ll definitely add the link. Thanks for the suggestion!
Alexis – You are welcome. I think it’s an awesome tool that we’ll be talking about at the Paradise Valley office meeting tomorrow! See you there…

[...] Phoenix RE Toolbar gets FREE ESIGN and ARMLS Property Hotline Back in January I came across a way cool website – conduit.com – that allows you, me, the world to build custom toolbars that others can install to make browsing the internet easier. It was a quick decision to throw some industry links up, add a few icons and see if local agents found it to be helpful. We called it the Phoenix Real Estate Toolbar. [...]
