The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The truth behind this cliché has more
than 25,000 real estate agents reaping the rewards of a collaborative
community environment. Members of the Point2 Agent Community
compete together through information sharing arrangements
brokered by their website technology. Specifically, a Member
can choose to display any or all of the available Community
listings on their own website.
"What's not to like about Point2Agent
websites?" says Dan and Nickie Roland (www.teamroland.com)
of the REMAX Pinnacle Group in Dallas, Texas "Virtually anyone
can set up a professional looking website and upload a picture
in less than 5 minutes. Since most of our clients are buyers,
'Agent HandshakeTM' provides a means of having participating
agent's listings appear on our website branded with our own
contact information. The listings that we do have get maximum
exposure as they show on other agent's websites."
Everyone wins. Members with the listings
get maximum exposure and each agent with a Point2 Agent website
gets an inventory of listings. This ability has underpinned
the Community's rapid growth to 25,000 members in just over
a year.
"The Community Members have driven the
growth way beyond our expectations." notes Brendan King of
Point2 Realty Solutions Inc.. "We knew we'd create some buzz
if we put our software out there for free. Members just keep
telling others about it. Right now about 150 agents are joining
per day."
There are no barriers to becoming a Member
of the Community. The software is provided free at www.point2agent.com.
Using the software, real estate agents create a website in
less than 5 minutes. After that, the fun really begins as
Members enjoy the power of the Community. Consumers access
the Community through any Member's website. Once inside, Point2
Agent ensures that the leads, and ultimately the commission,
remains with the members who earn it.
"Point2Agent is incredible!! I love it
and it really is free. I have only been with Point2 Agent
since January of 2004, but am very impressed with how many
new features have been added already. My website has been
so easy to maintain." says Sheila Alexander (http://salexander.point2homes.biz)
of Keller Williams Realty Slidell in Slidell, Louisiana, "I
believe Realtors have a number one partner with Point2 Agent."
The Community is a marketing powerhouse
that's getting stronger with each new Member. Point2 is building
the future of real estate and Members of the Community are
in for an entertaining and lucrative ride.
