John Hall's listing syndication just got supercharged!

Getting your listings seen by more people has the potential of getting you to Hawaii sooner.  Let me explain… the more places your listings show up on the web, the more likely they are to be seen.  The more they are seen, the greater the chance someone will ask you for more information about them.  The more people that ask you for information, the greater your chances of working with more people.  The more people you work with, the greater your chance of closing more transactions.   The more transactions you close, the greater the chance you make more money.  The more money you make, the sooner you buy airfare to Honolulu – simple logic.

Let’s talk about how John Hall & Associates is going to help you get your listings seen by more people.  Then I’ll show you about 200 websites where your listings will show up.  We’ll cap it off with how to sign up for the (temporarily) free reports available from our newest listing syndication partner.

Step 1:  Get your listings sent to more websites on the web.

To accomplish this, John Hall & Associates has signed up with a listing syndication service called ListHub. ListHub and ARMLS have partnered up to make the listing distribution a seemless process.  The data goes from ARMLS through ListHub to their “Channels”.  Channels are also known as website partners.  Their channels include…

Some of these channels were already getting our listings, but having ListHub send them out gives us some new benefits.  The main benefit for you is that they go to more places.  Another benefit is that you can now receive reports on your listings – if you wish.  The reports show how many times your listings are viewed, how many times your listings are clicked on, etc.  This is an opt in report that all John Hall agents have a free trial for until October 2009.  You have to have an active listing to be able to access the reports.  If you have at least one active listing and you would like to see the reports – just ask me to opt you in.  The comment section of this article is an appropriate place to ask.

If you like what you see and you want to continue getting the reports after the 90 day trial, ListHub may want to charge you.  This product is not available yet, so I don’t have pricing figures to share with you at this point.  However, if you have listings, you should take a look at the reports to see if they are something you’d be interested in buying when the agent product is rolled out.

I hope all this makes sense.  Let me recap.

• All John Hall listings are now syndicated to all the ListHub channels (pictured above).
• You pay nothing extra for your listings to show up on the ListHub channels, plus all these sites, plus all these sites.
• If you have at least one active listing, and you’d like to see the reporting feature, just ask.  It’s free until October of 2009.
• In October, if you’d like to continue to have access to the reports, ListHub will have a product for you.

A few more details -

We had to decide whether the click-through site is a ListHub page or is a John Hall & Associates page.  We chose John Hall & Associates.  This hasn’t been configured at the time of this post, so you may see the ListHub page if you click for more listing information from one of the ListHub channels.  No matter whether the ListHub page or the John Hall page is displayed, when a consumer asks for more information – the request is sent to the listing agents’ email address.

We had to decide how the leads were going to be handled.  ListHub allows either the brokerage to receive all the leads or the agents to receive all the leads.  We chose agents.

Aloha!
