FlagshipNet.com, Inc. is introducing its new brand, BroadbandRealtor.com, a new Internet resource for agents, unrepresented sellers and buyers. The site intends to be the first to successfully combine the listings and services of agents, independent home sellers and homebuyers on a single Internet site.
"For the agents we are offering a variety of enticements to come to our site," says Corbett Gilliam, vice president of business development. "For example, every time they refer our site to other agents, they will receive a commission. For the independent seller, we are still constructing the site, but we will be offering incentives to them, too."
Kicking off the introduction is a new Internet service for real estate agents called webAgent. The free service allows real estate agents to establish a presence and communicate on the Internet by creating a web site complete with unlimited property listings and images, customized community information content, consumer tips, agent biography, multiple website template style options, news feeds and industry articles, virtual tours by Bamboo.com,
mortgage, moving and salary calculators, and more.
Search tools for visitors include the unlimited listings and property images, school and neighborhood data, personalized web-based e-mail address (username@broadbandrealtor.com) and interactive mapping of the agent's property listings.
webAgent also offers agents daily industry news
information (with the capability of downloading it to their
Palm Pilot or Windows CE device), courtesy of Realty Times. Future additions to the service will include neighborhood and school information, instant paging, online chat sessions, web site exposure assistance, continuing
education and more, promises the site.
The webAgent service is free for all agents, and the company hopes to make
money through upgrades, including enhanced domain name
listings with the removal of all site advertising.
Agents who sign up with the service within the next month
will be automatically entered to win a new Palm Pilot.
