How does Galtline Design’s service work? What can agents expect?

Lead generation starts with marketing and depending on the client’s needs a typical marketing mix would be a combination of page optimization, social networking, PR, organic rankings and PPC. The majority of our new clients are leaving old outdated IDX platforms and have experience with their own marketing mix. We find it important to listen to what worked for our past clients and share what works well with Galtlinedesigns IDX indexable platform. In the end Galtlinedesign will devise a successful marketing mix that insures success.

What happens when a user visits the real estate website?

Depending if the user has a broker system or agent system, leads are linked by user type.

Agent Sites – All leads being generated from the agent site are assigned to the main account holder in FUB. All routing conditions are set in FUB.

Broker Sites – If a new lead lands on the website and does not visit any of the agent pages the lead is assigned to the main broker account in FUB and the lead is assigned by FUB routing rules. If a lead lands on an agent page the lead is automatically assigned to that specific agent. It doesn’t matter where the lead registers on the site the agent will ALWAYS be assigned that lead. First agent always wins.

Registration – Galtlinedesign offers various registration methods and each can be set in the IDX Plugin. All call to actions are triggered by property page visits, However custom triggers can be built for force registration.

• User is forced to register after x amount of times of viewing a property details page
• User is forced to register after x amount of times but user is able to engage a no thank you “Soft Registration” a set number of times before the user has to register. For example a user could view a property details page 3 times at which point the user is asked to register with the option of saying no thank you. This would reset the counter and after the user views a details page 3 more times the user is asked again. You can set how many times a user can say no thank you before having to register.
• User can view details page x amount of times and press no thank you as many times as they wish without having to register.

Call to Actions – All call to actions are some point require the user to Register. The following is a list of call to actions.

• Save a favorite
• Save a search – Combined form with registration
• Schedule Listing – Combined form with registration
• Share a listing with a client –  Combined form with registration
• Reverse address lookup to determine property value – Combined form with registration
• Ask a question – Only shows if user is registered
• Registration based off forced registration above

A popular Galtlinedesign feature is the similar listings widget that is shown on each details page.  Real estate buyers always want to know if a property is priced correctly or investors are interested in the rental market place. The similar listings is located on all details pages which allows the users to drill down into the data and get answers.

• Users can look at all Active, Pending, Active Under Contract and Sold Listings
• Search using google maps and by adjusting important criteria such as bed bath sqft etc
• Look for similar rentals in the marketplace
  

What are the top ways that real estate agents can benefit from using Galtline Design’s services?

What one piece of advice would you give to ambitious real estate agents looking to succeed?

Real estate has become a technology business and it is paramount that agents and brokers invest on their online presence. Building on a system that gives the user unlimited flexibility will save agents and brokers a ton of time, money and headaches down the road. It is important to understand that there are two parts of real estate lead generation. A system that provides an excellent user experience and Marketing. Both must be met in order to be successful. Having the greatest website that nobody can find is pointless and spending thousands on marketing that will not allow a good user experience is a waste of money. Do it right the first time and build on a scalable IDX product.

What separates you from competitors in your space? (product, approach, ethos / culture)

Galtlinedesign has been in the technology business since the late 90’s. We started with the goal of providing technology services to all types of business. Along the way the President, Damian Henry, had transitioned to selling real estate around 2001 where he learned the business of real estate in Southern California. It was during this venture that he decided to set out to build high end real estate websites. In 2003 Galtlinedesign was formed and to this day Galtlinedesign services real estate agents, brokers and custom property builds around the country. Galtlinedesign prides itself in listening to its client’s needs and ideas. It is very common to have developers set in on new project builds so Galtlinedesign can thoroughly understand the client’s needs. We do this both via the developers mind set and project development. This always keeps costs down for the client and ensures that the build will be a success. Galtlinedesign believes in using the most up-to-date technology and to provide the very best service and product to all clients.
