Easily post real estate listings on Craigslist

Soon, real estate brokerages and agents will be able to quickly post their real estate listings on Craigslist direct from Delta Media Group's real estate website and lead management systems.

Delta Media Group will add the Craigslist link Tuesday, June 2, which allows agents copy automated HTML code for a listing template, and post to Craigslist.

The listing template is created to encourage consumer interaction, as it features several links to contact the real estate agent and visit his or her real estate website.

Read more on Delta Media Group's Craigslist update, or contact Delta Media Group for more information on its real estate website and lead management systems.

Real estate website Overview Page details

As noted yesterday, Delta Media Group will update the Listing Page on the DeltaNet of the real estate agent website Tuesday, June 2, and will run blog updates about the advantages of the update over the next week.

Delta Media Group released the first of those updates yesterday, detailing the Overview Page of the Listing Page update. The Overview Page gives real estate agents a quick overview of the listing's details, broken into four sections: Listing Photos; Comments; Videos, Slideshows, V-Tours; and Seller Reports.

The sections were created to show agents how they are currently marketing the listing, and provide tips on how they can better market the listing.

Haves and Wants system updates

On the same day they updated their real estate lead management system, Delta Media Group also released updates to their Haves & Wants system.

Delta Media Group's Haves & Wants system was built as an interoffice communications tool, and has now been upgraded to utilize the HTML editor for agents to create messages in. The HTML editor expands agents' flexibility with creating messages, allowing them to embed HTML code, use a spell check, or customize font types. Agents can even embed listing videos into the message with HTML code.

Delta Media Group updates real estate lead mangement system

Delta Media Group's lead management system just got better.

The real estate website developer that is known for its lead management system raised the bar yesterday with new lead management features that will help ensure a quicker lead response time from real estate agents. Read more about Delta Media Group's real estate lead management system updates.


Delta Media Group's lead management updates give real estate company admins the ability to automatically remove agents from the lead broadcast rotation if they do not follow up with leads. The system allows admins to customize the allotted time frames for agents to respond to leads. If agents do not respond to a lead within that time frame, they will be removed from the lead rotation. The system will notify agents if they have unprocessed leads or miss a lead.

Admins can use default lead notification messages or customize their own. Admins can also customize when to remove agents from lead broadcast notifications, and assign different time frames for agents who have not viewed the lead versus agents who have viewed the lead but not processed it.

Delta Media Group's lead management system already boasts one of the best lead conversion rates in the real estate industry (around 10 percent of leads off Delta Media Group real estate websites are converted to transactions). The new lead management updates should help bolster that even more.
