I have an existing real estate web site but it's not database driven, how would I benefit from utilizing your system? One of the main advantages of utilizing a database system is the ability to search it for specific listings. I'm sure you will agree that it can be rather annoying visiting a real estate site that is static and does not offer a way to search it for specific homes you are interested in. A database system also allows you the ability to sort the results after the search has been completed, making it easier for the visitor to view the results by priority. Managing listings is now easier than ever because you don't have to know HTML to update your web site with new listings. As a future benefit, we are in the process of building a Real Estate directory that will allow your database to be included in a national search engine.

I don't exactly like the color scheme of the demo web site, is it possible to change the look? Yes, there are several options available to change the look and feel of the web site to better fit your needs. A) There is a feature in the Admin section called Color Manager. It allows the administrator of the web site to change the color scheme anytime they wish. There are over 40 different color settings that you can change with a simple click of a button. The site will be instantly updated with the new color scheme. B) If you know a little bit about HTML or have an existing web master, you can easily modify the HTML templates that drive the site without disturbing any of the programming code. This allows you to customize all aspects of the site customizing it to your own requirements. C) Or if you prefer, you can have our web designers customize the web site to your needs at the rate of $25.00 per hour. We can design custom graphics, change the look and feel of the web site, add new features, or even merge your existing web site to work hand-in-hand with the Real Estate Listing Manager® system.

I don't have a domain name yet, can I still use this system? We do suggest that you associate a domain name with each account. If you don't have a domain yet, we can help you choose a domain name and register it for just $15.00 per year.
