Over the last few months we have really worked had to pack as much value and marketing services into our system as possible. Here is a summary of the May 2008 Newsletter.

Just type in the craigslist codeword and your listing is automatically posted to craigslist as an elegant SPS-style, website flyer.

NEW: Manage Photos more easily with our new MANAGE PHOTOS system. FAST-FOTO already makes uploading multiple large images a breeze. Our new Version 2.0 brings an improved way to do this with a single MANAGE PHOTOS page for uploading all images, a ‘drag-and-drop’ to re-sequence and also you can choose any image to be the home page photo. You will save hours compared to other systems!

NEW: PDF Print Flyers saves you time and money. Sites are now presented with a selection of auto-generated print-quality PDF flyers. We will be adding to this selection soon.

Single Property Sites has launched its Listings Promotion Engine(tm) as an all-in-one service for promoting property listings with data feeds, Virtual Flyers, Virtual Tour links and Widgets.

Single Property Sites Inc. (http://www.singlepropertysites.com/) today announced its new Listings Promotion Engine(tm) as a free upgrade for clients, which automatically markets their listings with Feeds, Virtual Flyers, Virtual Tour Links and Property Widgets. Clients, requiring no technical knowledge, can now give each of their listings massive exposure on the Internet with just a few mouse clicks.

Single Property Sites Listings Promotion Engine automatically feeds listings to all the real estate industry’s key listings portals, including Trulia, Zillow, Edgeio, Vast.com, Google base and more. Elegant looking property flyers can be posted to craigslist, blogs and forums using the supplied Virtual Flyer code that is easy to copy and paste. Realtors can also make their single property site a Virtual Tour link with REALTOR.COM PicturePath (the Red Spinning house) and use an unbranded version of the property web site for Virtual Tour links with their local MLS.

Clients can now show listing data from their account on personal web sites in a variety of ways using the new Property Widgets library. A widget-wizard helps clients to create the desired presentation of their listings and provides a snippet of code (the widget) which creates the presentaion on any other web page.

With the launch of the Listings Promotion Engine, Single Property Sites continues to offer Real Estate Listing Agents the industry’s most comprehensive Listing marketing tool, all in a single easy-to-use system.

Reaction from Clients has been very positive. “Single Property Sites has become an invaluable listing tool”, said David Pautler, REMAX Island Realty (http://www.11margaritact.com/). “The new features provided by the Listings Promotion Engine are helping me to attract buyers and the new unbranded virtual tour links allow me connect my SPS site to the MLS, and promote homes to local agents in a non-threatening way.”

“For as low as $5 per listing per month, Single Property Sites is now the premium option for showcasing every one of your listings”, says Paul Eastwood, President of Single Property Sites Inc. “The new Listing Promotions Engine means Single Property Sites now allows any agent, no matter their technical ability, to give each listing professional and extensive exposure on the Internet”

Single Property Sites have just released a new option for your home page main photo! Your main property photo is perhaps the most important photo on your website-it gives your viewer their first impression of the property itself.

We have just released new capabilities that will allow the main property photo to grab the attention of any viewer, whether that be a potential buyer or your sellers. You now have the option to upload larger, high resolution photos with an additional option to zoom in and out when viewing the photo. This new feature highlights the property at it’s full potential. Your sellers will love the new capability and potential buyers will take extra time on your site to take advantage of the main photo options.

You will soon have the ability to use this same feature on all of your addition property photos as well. When you have uploaded the photos to your site, view the website and simply click on the main photo to enlarge it. Click on it again to restore it back to it’s original size.

Watch for additional announcements in the near future about all of the product enhancements for your Single Property Sites. We think you’ll be excited to see what improvements we have coming up!

Single Property Sites was founded in 2005 after several years of working with the real estate community here in Denver, and learning about what was driving the market.

Here’s a brief introduction to how Single Property Sites got started.

My own background was not from Real Estate, but actually from IBM and other global software organizations and this different perspective has proved very helpful.

SPS has really propelled the concept of a website for EVERY listing with our unique value proposition which allows real estate professionals to not only afford to do this for every listing (as low as $5 per listing per month), but our unique Site Builder Wizard helps even the most technically challenged.

We spent nearly 6 months thinking our concept through and testing with clients so that this would be the easiest and most intuitive system agents could use. This has certainly paid off.

I am pleased to report that we have an extremely loyal and satisfied set of clients and it appears, as of August 2007 that we are the largest provider of these services to the industry now based on total FOR SALE values of homes we represent, compared to values quoted by others.

Of course, now the market is changing again and the promotion of listings across the Internet is becoming business as usual for all agents. There are some amazing innovations being launched every day, nearly all of them Web based, that help agents market themselves and their listings more effectively.

Single Property Sites will always strive to provide the highest value and the best customer service. If you haven’t done so already – try us out for your self! I love to hear your feedback.
