About the Enterprise Network: http://www.activewebsite.com/
The Enterprise Network was developed in order to provide a way for leading independent brokerages to come together and hold ground against national real estate companies. By combining knowledge and experience, as well as buying power, The Network has negotiated amazing partnerships and technology rates previously unavailable to independent firms.

The Network also provides a forum for new ideas, fresh information, and referrals—the best of the best come together in a non-competitive, evolving environment that continues to grow and change, thanks to its members input and involvement.

In short, the Enterprise Network is about collaboration. Not only are you on the forefront of technology, you are doing it in partnership with other leading real estate companies. When one Member requests a new feature or functionality, the entire Enterprise Network gets it. When one Member has an idea for a new presentation, a new video or a new marketing tool, the entire Enterprise Network hears about it. This is the power of the Enterprise Network; a non competitive environment to share struggles and solutions, best practices, ideas and successes.

The Entetprise Network is shaping the future of the real estate industry and its growing membership takes advantage of everything the Network has to offer.

• Access to the best technology in the industry
• Invitation to the Enterprise Network Annual Conference
• Nationwide relocation referrals
• Enterprise Advisory Groups
• Onsite training and outstanding customer service

Besides being a powerful lead conversion tool, IPW’s offer a brilliant cost-effective marketing solution. As a sign rider, potential buyers can view a listing from their cell phone or laptop without having to even make a call. Getting more people to your website not only means more exposure for the property, it also enables you to easily track your marketing efforts by viewing the site statistics.  

The Individual Property Website are easy to create because they are linked to IDX – pulling the information from the MLS listing. There are multiple templates available which can appeal to lower, mid-range, and higher-end property themes. The IPW can also have it’s own completely unique domain name (e.g. www.123mainstreet.com) that will still incorporate all the branding details and technology from the main website.

The IPW’s allow potential buyers to find out loads of information about a property. Included are larger photos, supporting documents, tons of content, as well as the listing agent photo and contact info. Users can also “Set Up a Showing,” access the mapping technology, add the property to their favorites, use the mortgage calculator, send the listing to a friend and so on.

The Individual Property Websites are easy to create because they are linked to IDX – pulling the information from the MLS listing. In addition to the MLS data, you can add additional property content as noted above. There are multiple IPW templates available with themes which appeal to lower, mid-range, and higher-end properties. There are also completely unique domain names available (e.g. www.123mainstreet.com) that will still incorporate all the branding details and technology from the main website.

All of this technology is built into the Enterprise Suite of technology allowing a single platform to serve the broker and all agents.
