Out With The Old And In With The New. Not On MLS Real Estate Just Got Better, More Social, And More Efficient

October 5, 2011 Leave a comment

Dear Members,

Looking for this?

That was our beta version. We launched it. We got tons of traffic. Agents closed deals because of it. We learned from it. We killed it.

PocketListings.net Version 2.0 is live! We changed at least 100 things since the beta version and we have made a completely overhauled service available to you. The general concept is the same, but now we have tons of new features including Real Estate Match™, Saved Search, a Principals Only feature, Social Networking and Sharing options, Increased Privacy Options, and so much more, all available to help you close more transactions and get more and more happy clients!

Our beta version was a result of hundreds of emails I see weekly from one agent to another both marketing pocket listings, and looking for them for their buyers (buyer need), so we tweaked what we had, and the result is amazing.

Version 2.0 is a 100% feedback driven, and we can’t thank you enough for the valuable insight you have provided.

The new homepage looks like this…

As a current member, you might be wondering what the heck happened to your old account. This is definitely a valid concern, but something you absolutely don’t need to worry about. We have transferred all of the previous accounts over to the new version successfully, your username and password are the same, and and ALL of your posts (including photos) are still live on the new site.

This new version automatically expires posts after 30 days and pulls them off the site, but any posts transferred over will remain live for 60 days from 10/1/2011 (who luvs ya). After 60 days your post will simply Unpublish, but it’s easy to republish it so it remains visible on searches and matches.

To learn all about the new version in detail or if you ever have any questions, please refer to this awesome Tutorial we just threw together. For future reference you can always find it at http://blog.pocketlistings.net/tutorial. We will continue to update it as things change, so don’t hesitate to refer to it later.

We hope you like the new site, and we hope you tell your colleagues. It took us a REALLY long time to release this new version, but we didn’t want to release something with which we weren’t 100% satisfied. We are truly taking a leap forward in the real estate listing industry and we hope you stay with us, as we already have a laundry list of future services to add to help you do more deals even further into the future.

List and search is old school. List, Match, Search, Share, Tweet, Expire, Like, and Link are new school. We are the Dean.

As an active real estate agent in the city of San Francisco, I can categorically state we are filling a void in our marketplace.

We value your business and are striving to make our service something you and your clients come to know and trust, and we hope that you and your clients realize there is now an alternative (not competitor) to MLS. Use your Multiple Listing Service, and use us too. Your clients deserve options, as do you.

If you have any questions about the new site, please refer to our Tutorial from here on out.

As always, may your pocket listings sell quickly, and your buyers find what they need.

Sincerely,

Alexander Clark
Co-Founder

Blue Bottle Coffee Is Oh So Close To This Hayes Valley Pocket Listing

September 21, 2011 Leave a comment

There is opportunity knocking in the form of a beautiful Victorian building in Hayes Valley, San Francisco…a stone’s throw from one particular coffee kiosk (Blue Bottle Coffee) that arguably revolutionized coffee in North America forever (If you’re really up on your history it was actually started on the other side of the Bay, but that’s trivial.)

We’ll spare you an entire run down of just how cool this building is, and instead send you directly to the property detail page.

There is another unit with this building, and we’re not sure if/when that will come up for sale separately, but we do know (without a shadow of a doubt) the entire building could be had.

South Carolina Real Estate Now On PocketListings.net, 8 Berrow Way Kicks Things Off

September 20, 2011 Leave a comment

We’re pleased to say we have received our first pocket listing post in Taylors, South Carolina, and it’s a beauty.

Eight Berrow Way is five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and has 5+ parking spaces, and it’s only $459,500! Oh..and it has a pool, basketball court, 3/4 acre fenced, shady lot, cool open-air back porch with wraparound formed concrete terrace, a playroom, and so much more. It also touts being “just the right distance from the throngs!” and the “adjacent lot is part of the .75 acre, but is buildable separately if owner desires.”

That means if you, or anyone you know, lives and works in the greater Greenville, South Carolina area and you’re looking for a home, there is more opportunity out there and you’ll soon find more and more of it right here on PocketListings.net.

If all of you other members are wondering where this property is…here you go.

Woohoo! Things are rolling and we’re glad to see South Carolina getting in the groove.
