How quickly can I get my account set up?
As soon as we have your order details we can set up your account. You could be set up within an hour.
How easy is it to add to my web site?
You will need to be able to add HTML code to your website pages
- specifically some JAVASCRIPT.
(This is provided to you with full instructions - so don't worry!)
There are some Library Scripts that we suggest you add to the HEAD section of all pages. Then each widget is displayed with an additional piece of Javascript that needs to be placed in in a containing area that is big enough to allow the Widget to display correctly. Read more.
Have a Franchise Webpage / Website?
If you have a Franchise website or web page then quite often you only have simple ability to add content to a page. In these cases, the Library Scripts (once per page only) and the Widget Scripts can all simply be added to any page area.
Your Franchise IT department may have security measures in place that prevent Javascripts from running like this, but we are happy to talk to them and get them to allow My Buying Buddy to work correctly. Please contact us if you require help!
How integrated is MyBuyingBuddy to my website?
MyBuyingBuddy works using new web technologies such as Javascript and AJAX which means that when you embed the service in your web pages, it fits seamlessly.
How does My Buying Buddy compare to tools like Top Producer?
Top Producer and other contact managers can be great contact management systems - but they only focus on one part of the marketing process - the management of contacts.
In contrast, My Buying Buddy is a service for Consumers, it is a system that you can put into your website to GENERATE leads. It is fully integrated to your MLS (IDX data) and allows consumers search for homes and automate their home search processes.
The Lead Control Hub is the 'back end' part of My Buying Buddy that takes leads generated by your web site and allows you to manage them. Because the Lead Control Hub is part of My Buying Buddy, all leads and follow up campaigns are executed in the context of, and with, MLS data. This means that when you work with leads, you can see homes they like, searches they have saved, results of Just Listed Property Alerts and so on - all relevant and integrated with the MLS data and home searches the consumer is interested in.
What Browsers are Supported?
The display of My Buying Buddy in your website is supported for all major Browsers
The use of the Lead Control Center (the agent control center) is supported for a limited number of browsers only as it makes extensive use of JAVASCRIPT and other modern technologies.
