If you've been on ActiveRain in the past month, you've probably seen our blog posts about RealtyNow, a new lead program we're offering.  In this post, we'd like to announce a contest for AR members with a $1099.95 prize. 

Here is how the RealtyNow program works:

• $99.95 monthly membership fee gets you access to the program
• You build the coverage area you want to target by cities, counties, zip codes, or a combination of all three
• We send you unlimited leads in real time, which means you'll receive the lead less than 10 minutes after the consumer submits their request
• If you close a transaction through RealtyNow with a property price of $150K or more, you'll pay a flat $1000 advertising fee
• If you close a transaction that is less than $150K, you won't pay anything other than the monthly membership fee
• Extremely low-risk, cancel at anytime

(To learn more about RealtyNow or to sign up, please visit www.realtynow.com or call 925-983-3400, ext. 1011.)

While many of you have expressed your reasons for not signing up, many others have shared their success stories both publicly on AR and privately in phone discussions.  To encourage RealtyNow clients to share their success stories with the rest of the AR community, Reply! is announcing a contest for our RealtyNow members who are also members of ActiveRain.

Here are the guidelines:

• RealtyNow clients are encouraged to write a summary of their best success story about a client they worked with through the RealtyNow program (Ideas would include what made this particular transaction unique or interesting, why you were impressed with the particular client, what happened when you called the lead initially, what you specifically did to earn the client's business, and ultimately, why this client was valuable to you and what your ROI was)
• Write as much or as little as you want to get your point across
• Success stories do not have to be limited to one particular client, but they need to of course have originated through the RealtyNow program

What's in it for you?

At the end of the month, we will select the winning story and that agent will receive one month's worth of free service (a $99.95 value) and the $1000 advertising fee waived for that transaction.  If the particular transaction you're writing about was less than $150K, we will waive the first advertising fee that you qualify for.  The winner will be announced via this post, and we'll of course also contact that person directly.

Happy Selling,
