Another successful update last night. The PropTrackr development team has been hard at work solving issues and updating the system. Last they released another set of updates to the system. Here is a list of just a few of the updates & bug fixes that were released in last night’s update.

System Updates

• New Property Search Filter
• New Comparables Estimator – Eppraisal Estimate added
• The ability to sort and order mortgages
• Failed fax email notification
• Tracking client side property submissions
• Property notes – Notification

Bug Fixes

• HUD-1 removed from application center
• Dashboard last 5 contacts now link to contact details
• Failed fax email notification with details
• Viewing content of sent faxes
• PropMapr Data feed updated

There is a new property search filter giving our clients the ability to now search by specific fields like address, city, state, zip code and contact name.

Also included in last night’s update is a new comparable search function. You can now see an estimated price of a real estate property from Zillow and Eppraisal with the PropTrackr estimate showing up giving our clients more options to choose from.

Taking suggestions from our clients, have proven to be a huge advantage in developing our software. This next update came from one of our clients, when adding a property note to the system you can now view who received the note under the “Notified” section of property notes.

Being able to easy and efficiently track client data is huge for running a real estate business and that is why we added the feature to track customer submitted properties. When a client logs into your PropTrackr account and submits a property for sale to your real estate company, their contact name is now listed as the source. Giving you the ability to sort and organize your data by customers who submitted data.

The post Building Your Real Estate Network appeared first on Real Estate Management Software from PropTrackr.

We have also been working hard on our support website adding new a FAQ section, creating how to videos, creating new help topics and more, you should stop by and check it out.

With the launch of the new website we have also launched the Action Plan Module. Action Plans were designed and developed to save you and your company a lot of time with daily tasks like sending emails to new clients, updating everyone involved with a project and more.

To give you a little preview of how powerful this tool is, lets walk through a possible scenario:

You have a potential home buyer who has contacted your office looking to purchase a home. Taking the contact information and plugging it into your PropTrackr account and assigning it to the “New Client Action Plan” allows you or the system to automatically contact them via email on a predetermined number of days. This isn’t just any email, this email is a “Thank You for your interest and we are working hard to find the best home for you and your family. Please visit www.PropMapr.com to start shopping for the perfect home.”

You have made your first contact with a potential client all without typing a word. PropTrackr’s Action Plan Module has done this for you. Now we get to see the power of this module in action, within the New Client Action Plan there are more “actions” to be completed. Four days after the first initial contact, the system sends another follow up email asking if there are any questions that they might have. All the while you haven’t had to do anything to keep in contact with the new client.

Action Plans are fully customizable to fit your needs, the above situation is just one example of how the system can help automate some of your offices daily tasks. Another Action Plan that can be useful is when a property closes mass emailing everyone involved letting them know that everything has been completed.

Stay tuned as we bring you more Action Plan Templates and ideas to make your real estate profession a little bit easier.
