Question of the Month

Q: I’ve been on Source4Sellers for a few years and am happy with the results and tools I get. How is AgentView different and what else will I get with this subscription that I didn’t get with Source4Sellers? Also, will my monthly fee change?

A. With AgentView you’ll still get exclusive exposure to consumers in your market area and access to the lead management and drip marketing tools that Source4Sellers included, as well as homeowners who are looking for a CMA.

With so many homebuyers in the market right now, we wanted to integrate your home listings onto the site in a way that would make it easier for consumers to find them and give you exclusive exposure.

With AgentView you’ll get exposure to homebuyers and sellers in your area – as well prospects viewing your profile, bio and blog. Your monthly subscription fee will not change and there is no additional charge to upload your listings on HomeGain.

Agent Quote of the Month

“I joined HomeGain shortly after becoming licensed in Fall 03. As a new agent I was eager to discover new and productive ways to meet prospects. After joining I logged into the AgentEvaluator several times per day and responded to each new lead both quickly and specific to the consumers needs. It wasn't long before I started working with HomeGain clients and today the AgentEvaluator is the most successful prospecting system I use. I not only continue to meet new prospects off of the site but also enjoy the benefit of working with the referrals of past HomeGain clients.

HomeGain is by far the best online lead generator I've experienced and they've made a tremendous impact on my real estate career. As for their customer service, I highly appreciate the support and guidance, especially from my rep, Karina Kirkland. I couldn't be any happier with HomeGain!
