There\u2019s an old Japanese proverb that says \u201cbeginning is easy, continuing is hard\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"beginning-is-easy\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that the past 18 months have been unique<\/em> in the world of real estate (and the world at large) but if there\u2019s one philosophy that has worked well for us at RealtyNinja, it’s that we show up and improve things a little bit each day, regardless of what\u2019s happening around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launching RealtyNinja over 10 years ago, we\u2019ve slowly built up our business and real estate website platform to where it is today. Our work is never done, but we believe this iterative approach makes solving big, complex problems much easier and amounts to surprising results over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019d love to share with you a few of the things that we\u2019ve launched since our last Product Updates post in November 2020<\/a>, as well as highlight a couple awesome customers and remind you about the great resources available to help you grow your real estate business. So grab a coffee and let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent focus on Real Estate Teams, Offices & Brokerages<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"smartmockups_kp7gfs97\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the early days of RealtyNinja we would give in-person presentations (remember those?) at real estate offices all over Vancouver. Word-of-mouth and building relationships with agents during Monday morning meetings was basically our only form of marketing for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This close interaction with agents shaped the early development roadmap of RealtyNinja. On one hand it was great because it allowed us to listen to our customers and iterated quickly based on their feedback, but it also steered us towards building functionality aimed at individual<\/em> agents rather than larger teams, offices and brokerages, which have their own unique set of website requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few months we\u2019ve put an emphasis on developing some of those missing pieces (more on this later) and are also offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free website subscriptions for qualifying Canadian real estate brokerages, and 15% off subscriptions to all agents that are in those offices.<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While our competition charges a heavy premium for brokerage websites (and adding multiple agents to your site) we\u2019re going the complete opposite route and making them free <\/strong>for qualifying brokerages. We firmly believe that if we can make a great impression on real estate offices then we’ll naturally attract more agents in those offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do us a favour and load up your brokerage website in a new tab. Take a good look at it and if it doesn\u2019t make you say wow<\/strong><\/em> like Owen Wilson, send this link https:\/\/get.realtyninja.com\/brokerage-deal<\/a> to your managing broker and tell them to take advantage of this crazy deal before we come to our senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’re thoroughly impressed, let\u2019s dive into a few of the new brokerage\/office\/team features we\u2019ve launched recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show the listing agents contact information on a listing and send them a copy of leads generated from their own listings.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Screen<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Find this under \u201csettings > site contact info\u201d in the backend of your RealtyNinja website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to set an MLS\u00ae search widget to only show listings from a specific office<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"screenshot-katanadefault.realtyninja.com-2021.05.27-14_38_40\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is in the widget options for any MLS\u00ae search widget on your site. Great for brokerage websites with multiple offices as it allows you to have multiple MLS\u00ae search widgets that are each filtered to a different office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headshot image sizing and resolution improved on the agents widget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Photos of your team are now optimized for retina displays and automatically load the correct version of the image depending on the user’s device and screen size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Categorize agents into custom groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"screenshot-katanademoa.realtyninja.com-2021.05.27-14_40_58\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can now create custom agent groups and set agent widgets to only display members from a particular group. This is once again great for brokerages that have multiple offices. As a bonus, you can now show multiple agent widgets on the same page which opens up all sorts of design possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also set an agent to \u201cinactive\u201d if they\u2019re on temporary leave, so that you can quickly add them back when they return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drag-and-drop to sort agents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"May-27-2021<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Easily organize the agents on your team by dragging and dropping their order in the backend of your website. You\u2019re no longer stuck to just alphabetical ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
