Making the Switch

If the thought of changing website providers is a barrier for you, rest assured that we make it as easy as possible. Here's what a new client shared with us.

 

"I'm so glad I made the switch...If I can be of help to you in telling anyone about how easily my conversion went (for me anyway), and if they are looking at a new site, they should not be lured by anything “free”, and how great the support is after one signs up for the site, I would be most happy to do so.

 

Thanks again,

Lisa Bieri 

High Search Engine Rankings to Report

Perspective on RPS From a Search Engine Optimization Expert

A few months back we received a call from a gentleman that offers SEO services. As an expert in his industry, he took note of our websites and started recommending our system to his clients. Why? In his words:

"As a SEO professional you rarely find a website provider that takes in the full spectrum of their clients’ needs including those of the search engines. Real Pro Systems does just that.  I provide SEO services for the real estate industry, and Real Pro Systems hands down offers the best value for the industry's needs. I've seen real estate website providers that actually hinder their clients search engine rankings. Real Pro Systems has taken SEO friendliness to a whole new level.  The architecture and customizability make it my platform of choice. I can get my clients better search engine placement by using Real Pro Gold or Real Pro Silver, which means better ROI for the client."

Lee West, SEO Professional Services, Westbridge Solutions

We spoke with a client of ours that said since he has used Lee to optimize his website, he is now consistently #5 on Google for the number one search phrase in his area.

Great job Lee!

Client Feedback on Real Pro Systems

Here are two recent testimonials we received. I love hearing such great feedback, not only about our products/services, but also about our Client Care department. They are exceptional. We wouldn't be where we are today without them.

"I’ve been a Client of Real Pro Systems since the beginning of ’06 and I can't say enough about the product as well as the people who work there.
 
Through Real Pro Systems our team has compiled a database of over 3000 prospects.  I even compiled a database of media who I put on my weekly email. I've have been on: channel 4 news 3 x last year, as well as on the front page of the Miami Herald & Sun Sentinel as a result of follow up from our informational weekly emails we send out from our system.
 
We add all of our listings to our Real Pro Systems website and our clients love it. They also enjoy the "Morning Coffee" link we have added to our drip letters. This inspirational message is something everyone can relate to and is written by Real Pro Systems every week.....the feedback from our clients' says it all.
 
The email stationery that the emails go out on really stands out and is head and shoulders above the rest. We have different stationary for different email campaigns as we set up all of our clients on different automatic follow ups. Each member of our team has their own email stationery with personal photo and contact information as well as the teams branding for consistency. We are now in the process of setting up new campaigns for our REO listings and are looking forward to working with RPS to add some REO information on our website, stationary and weekly email.
 
Their system is very user friendly and if we need help, their Client Care department is exceptional. My dedicated Client Care rep, Kristi, and I are on a first name basis and she is always able to answer any questions or help me with anything that I need.
 
We also use the Blog which gets a lot of traffic and gives us credibility too. Real Pro Systems helps us stand out in so many ways compared to our competition."

How Does Blogging Help My SEO? Search engines are continually looking for new content to index and one of the fastest ways to add unique, fresh content to your site is by using an integrated blog.  The more often search engines find new content on your site, the faster they will come back next time and the higher the ranking in the search results.  Blogging is a fast, easy way to help you with your organic search rankings.

"Best decision for my real estate business"

"Best decision for my real estate business"

Real Pro Systems is one of the best decisions I've made for my real estate business. There is no other company (and I've asked around) that can effectively cultivate leads like they do. It is buying a tool that allows me to be in two places at the same time..... While I'm out working with buyers and sellers, it adds prospects to a communication plan that allows me to be out selling while building relationships with leads I've never spoken to. It is truly a a system that runs without you having to think about it. I can be working on my business and not always in business. In addition, the customer support is exceptional.
 
Definitely a must use tool to be added to your real estate business.

New Stealth Site - www.rpsbankowned.com

We are now offering a niche stealth site targeted to buyers who want to receive a list of Bank-Owned properties. It comes with a drip email campaign and can be added to the Gold Agent Website System. This is a great vehicle to promote your ability to provide this list. We worked closely with Rob Levy, a top-producing Prudential agent, to develop the site, which includes a CMA offer. Rob has had great traction, receiving 200 buyer leads in his first month, using this site. He found that it was easy to convert the buyer leads to be interested in regular homes for sale.

Top Producer 8i Integration: Share web leads with your Top Producer 8i account. Real Pro Systems provides three convenient ways to share leads between these two systems, described in this Application Note

New Navigation Builder: It’s now easier than ever to modify your website menu. Create second and third level menu items, link to established content, new custom pages, or outside links. This enhancement is available for all websites built on the new design.

Tag-based Listing Pages:  Create a special custom page to display a subset of featured listings using our enhanced tagging system.   Tag-based listing pages (with custom title and text) promote a unique niche of listing to your web visitors.  So, if you have tagged a bunch of listings as "condo", you can then create a custom page that features all of your listings tagged with "condo". You can view an example here: http://www.gold3demo3.com/Properties/Vacation

Tag-based listing pages are extremely useful for promoting subdivisions, neighborhoods, water front homes, and other specialty areas.  This enhancement is available for all websites built on the new design.

$90,000 in Commissions Directly from RPS Stealth Site

"...Just a quick note to follow up and let you know how pleased we've been with RPS.
 
First of all, I want to tell you that we track all our leads and where they came from. Overwhelmingly, our number one source of business is coming from our RPS Email Home Search stealth site on Google. We have to spend a lot of money in our market to stay near the top of Google Adwords. In 2007 we spent $18,000 on Google Adwords and from that we received $90,000 in trackable commissions directly from our RPS stealth site. That's an outstanding ROI in anyone's book!
 
Keep up the great work and the innovative products. My entire team is really looking forward to the coming upgrade to our main site."
 
Take care,
Dean
