I just finished attending the MetroList Prospector training in Modesto, California. I am absolutely fascinated by the features and mapping support, auto-prospecting, client portal, reverse prospecting, and seamless integration with eNeighborhood power tools.
The mapping feature uses Microsoft Virtual Earth that allows the user to view in map or satellite view. After searching for properties, one can set the route of visit, rearrange the order of properties on the route, and print out the route information. Another feature, auto-prospecting, saves agents a lot of time. Once the search criteria is set up, properties that meet the criteria are automatically added to the "Newly Matched" listings cart. An email can then be sent to invite the client to either Save, Reject, or leave the property information on one of the three lists. The agent and client can both email each other regarding any of the properties on the list.
With the integration to eNeighborhood, agents don't even need any contact management software. Creating CMA and flyers are two other feature I can't wait to use.
The only drawback is that there should be a cross population of contacts between Prospector and eNeighborhood. Maybe one exists that I don't know of yet, such as exporting contacts to an excel file and then importing that to eNeighborhood. It would also be great if a client can specify the frequency of auto-prospecting email (like once every few days instead of every day). Sorting of property list may also be a convenient feature for the client when they are using the client portal.
Also, I would like to see export to HTML from eNeighborhood in addition to exporting to PDF file. (Can a web developer take advantage of the HTML and also promote eNeighborhood at the same time?)
My previous job as a medical office administrator for a small office, solo practitioners have to do research on their own to get medical management, scheduling, billing software. Each office procure their own tools and in comparison, real estate professionals are so spoiled.
