What is the Seller Generation Tool?

The Seller Leads Generation Tool (also referred to as the Home Valuation Tool) gives you the opportunity to capture seller leads. We contracted with a third-party service to deliver home price estimates and combined this with our lead capture system to deliver seller leads right to your Lead Manager.

Leads will receive a property valuation based on public tax records. In addition to providing an estimated valuation of the property, leads will automatically be set up with a monthly-updating market report that emails the client with new updates in their area. Leads will also receive email updates based on their valuation results.

If you would like to test drive the seller leads tool, check out http://demo.realgeeks.com/cma/property-valuation

How to Customize the Tool

Landing Page URL

The link leads would use to directly access your valuation tool

This is the link you would use in advertisements to drive traffic directly to the tool to receive an estimate.

Auto-Responder Email Templates

Control the messages a lead receives when performing a valuation on the tool. You need to customize the message for two scenarios:

1. The lead receives a valuation right away after providing their information

2. The tool was unable to provide the lead an estimate, and let’s your lead know that you will be following up shortly (You can learn more about why the tool would not provide an immediate valuation here)

Landing Page Attributes

Header Text

Text that appears at the top of your valuation tool

Page Title

Title tags are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs) as the clickable headline and also displays in your website browser tab to coordinate multiple pages a lead may have open at a time.

The title tag of a web page is meant to be an accurate and concise description of a page's content. A good example for this page would be “yourcompanyname + property estimate” (easypropertysearch property estimate)

Meta Description

The meta description is an HTML attribute that provides a brief summary of a web page.

Search engines such as Google often display the meta description in search results, which can influence click-through rates.

Meta Keywords

Meta keywords describe the content of a website shortly and concisely, and are therefore important indicators of a website's content to search engines.

The keywords are generally written in lower case, and separated with a comma.

Search Box Headline

The text that appears just above the input field where leads enter their address. Use this to provide more information or entice a lead to enter their contact information

Example Search Address

The filler text that appears. This is used to give the lead a guideline for how to format their address on the page. This will go away once a lead begins typing in the field

(/cma/property-valuation/ is the link that takes your leads to your website)

Seller Valuation Widget

Rather than taking the lead to a separate landing page, Real Geeks has developed a quick valuation widget that allows leads to perform a valuation without leaving a page. This can be added on a page within your Real Geeks website OR on a separate web page or website.

FAQ

Why did my lead not receive an estimate right away?

The home valuation tool relies on historic sold data and public records to formulate an estimate on a particular property. If there is not enough nearby data to put together an estimate, the lead will not be sent a message and instead will be prompted with a message saying that the agent will be reaching out shortly. This will simultaneously notify you so you can put together a report and reach out to them
