New Tweaks Live

December 7th, 2011

You now have the option to show/hide the listing carousel on the homepage, as well as show/hide your quick contact on specific pages.

Login to the backend of your website > edit my website > manage pages > page options > advanced options.

Also, we’ve released a few neat features and bug fixes:

  • Our MLS update script now runs every 4 hours (instead of every 24 hours) – so updates made through MLXchange are auto-imported quicker onto your website
  • You can now have the same listing in multiple groups
  • Buildings > dropdown of areas are now alphabetical
  • Bug fix – In Chrome, some themes had the “manage bar” scroll down with the page in “edit my website” mode.

Fresh New Updates: Help Videos, Features, Tweaks and More!

November 25th, 2011

All New Help Videos & Welcome Screen

Next time you log into your RealtyNinja website, you will see a series of short tutorial videos that guide you through everything you need to know to take full advantage of your website.

Re-written MLS® Instant Search – SEO & Speed Benefits

Our MLS® Instant Search was already the fastest out there, but it wasn’t fast enough. We’ve re-written and simplified its code using the latest technology available. This means that future updates and features to the search will be a lot easier and faster to implement.

We also tweaked the way Google and other search engines read the MLS® search results. This means that every reciprocity listing on your website is now indexed by Google under your website’s domain name.

Agent Makeover – Custom Personal Branding For Real Estate Professionals

We believe that you should focus on your core business, and for us that’s real estate websites, not branding. We recently met a local company called Agent Makeover that are experts in branding REALTORS®.

Just ask any successful REALTOR® and they will tell you how important your own personal brand is if you want to stand apart in your industry. If you’re ready to take this important aspect of your business to the next level, we highly recommend contacting Agent Makeover.

We work closely with them to ensure the brand they create is reflected throughout your personalized RealtyNinja website.

New Features

Now you can set the date and price for your sold listings. Once you login to your website, just click the “edit” icon beside your sold listings and set the sold price and sold data. This will appear in the listings details on your website.

We’ve also added the “Commercial” property type for manually added listings.

In the buildings section of the backend, you will now see the number of active listings in each building.

Creating and editing links is now easier than ever. You can choose “email link, link to a page on your website, or an external website”.
