BrokerIPTV: Today, we are talking with Mark Footer, the current member of the board for Metrolist and Owner/Broker of Intero Real Estate. How are you?
Mark Footer: Good Dan. Thanks for having me.
BrokerIPTV: Thanks for being with us. Well, we are talking about PrimeAccess and a new feature thats just coming out called Prospect. Tell us a little bit about that.
Mark Footer: PrimeAccess Prospect is a new product that launched on December 3rd. It is a great feature where brokers can go in, put information about their criteria, and we send an e-mail at the end of every day for prospects that match up to a particular listing criteria.
BrokerIPTV: Excellent. Now, this feature was available in MYmls as well, correct?
Mark Footer: Correct.
BrokerIPTV: Now, we have just migrated it over to PrimeAccess.
Mark Footer: Yes, migrated to PrimeAccess, but it has more features as well.
BrokerIPTV: Probably a little bit more user friendly I would imagine.
Mark Footer: More user friendly and one of the most important features is that you can now include clients.
BrokerIPTV: Yeah.
Mark Footer: Before it would just come to the broker; now, it goes to the clients. You can put up to three e-mail addresses for clients and have them send out a daily e-mail on the prospects as well.
BrokerIPTV: How about set up? Is it easy to set up?
Mark Footer: Painless.
BrokerIPTV: Okay.
Mark Footer: Have you ever gotten into the power search? You go in, you set up the criteria for that search, you type in a name for the search, and you click the Prospects button, that takes you to the next page where you can enter information, the e-mails of who you like to be sent to, and another feature is to be able to add days back from when you want to start the search.
BrokerIPTV: Okay, so you can say hey, I want this client to see so many days back from the beginning of the month to present time and going forward, is that right?
Mark Footer: Yeah and the idea behind it is say for example, you get a new client today and they are looking in a particular neighborhood, you usually like to show them a little bit of history whats happening there.
BrokerIPTV: Sure.
Mark Footer: So, in my case, I might set them to start on December 1st. So, I type in what would that be, 50 days back based on todays date and they are going to see all the activity thats happened from December 1st on and then at the end of every day, its going to give them the current listings.
BrokerIPTV: Now, in the old MYmls system, when you set somebody up in Prospect, and it only came to the broker, but that also would expire after 60 days; the broker would stop getting those e-mails, is that right?
Mark Footer: Thats the way it was in the MYmls version of Prospect. People commented; they asked if that could either be removed or extended, Metrolist of course listened, and now it doesnt expire until you go in to turn it off.
BrokerIPTV: Thats a great feature. All right. How about some other benefits to this for using Prospects for the Realtor and for the consumer?
Mark Footer: The single best benefit is that by using the PrimeAccess database, you are accessing the IRES database and you are accessing the Pikes Peak database. So, no other product out there can offer that, the access to that database. One of the features that appeals to me is its always available. I have used a number of different services and currently do use other services, but I had to pay a monthly fee with that and it can be anywhere from mild to exorbitant. With PrimeAccess, its there. If you want to use it this week for five clients, you can use it this week for five clients. If you dont want to use it on next month, you dont use it, you are not incurring any charges for it.
BrokerIPTV: And there is no, yeah, no additional charge to the broker who is already paying their regular fee.
Mark Footer: Correct, no additional charge.
BrokerIPTV: Thats great. Mark thanks. Looking forward to using it. I appreciate you.
Mark Footer: You bet Dan, thank you.
