RE/MAX
Lead Generation
Newest Product Offering is a strategic syndication network for the RE/MAX Northern Illinois network, which allows offices to control the distribution and licensing of their listings. Offices have maximum control of how and where their office listings are syndicated (or if they are). Offices are the exclusive data source and are able to avoid duplicate or stale data on portal sites.
Offices also get customized data feeds that integrate with their websites and a private dashboard to manage the office’s syndications, as well as aggregated analytics and reports. The RE/MAX Northern Illinois website, www.illinoisproperty.com, generates approximately 15,000 total leads monthly to the RE/MAX Northern Illinois network. It continues to utilize a variety of tools – such as Internet capture forms, widgets, strategic partnerships and an agent-to-agent referral network – and it may find leads from a number of sources including the Internet, mobile phones, QR codes, and listing promotion links – but in the end, everything goes back to the RE/MAX agent who ultimately profits from the lead.
The agent-centric system has no corporate fees attached to leads generated and distributed. Using a system methodology designed to allow RE/MAX agents to direct consumers to their unique websites, the system provides the affiliates all the necessary tools to promote their listings and drive traffic to their site.
