Gosh… talk about trying to be “cool and funny” by telling their clients they are idiots!

I wish they continue to advertise this way!

Tools to help you price your property

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

For a while now, all the properties sold through ByTheOwner are available under the View sold properties tab of the search results. Access to this information is a great tool to help home owners set up the price for their for sale property.

Our paying customers also have access to a special report of similar properties in the Your account section. Consulting this report usually gives a pretty good idea of the price that can be asked for your home.
I don’t know any other websites that gives those infos at the moment. This would be great for the fsbo trend in Canada!

Statistics, for the curious ones

Sunday, December 10th, 2006
Our clients actually have access to the number of visits to their listing. This statistic is usually really appreciated by our customers. Knowing this, we’ve decided to give them more!
Here’s what should be available in the near future under the “Your Account” section.
  1. Number of times the property is shown in the search results
  2. Conversion rate : Which proportion of the visitors are clicking on your property in the search result. This is a great indicator of whether your property is catching buyers’ attention or not.
  3. Visits from external referrers. This one lets you know where your visitors are coming from. This is really usefull if you managed to get your home listed in some classifieds websites.
