Prudential Tech Champion: Town Profiles

February 11th, 2008 Connecticut, Prudential Tech Champion No Comments »

An occasional series where I pretend to earn my way out of the tech fees for the year by taking on the duties of being a Prudential Connecticut Realty Tech Champion… by helping the agents that do pay tech fees out a little.

Once you have a listing most agents leave a folder of the MLS printouts in the home for showings and open houses.

Personally I like a copy of the new 10–Photo MLS printout to help buyers remember the house better. The new version of the Client Details Sheet called RES Client Copy #2 has all the critical details and has a great page layout. It’s a great left brain + right brain combo punch.

Some agents like to add in the Seller Property Disclosures, some don’t. It’s a good idea to have at least some available in the folder for showings though. Lets remove any road blocks to people writing an offer on the spot.

However a potentially helpful addition to these packets is a profile of the town. Not everyone is going to be from the area and know it well – specially if they are relocation buyers.

“What’s the town like?” can be a crippling concern.

Saving the day – the well written town profiles on the Prudential agent website. Easy to find, easy to print, but a curious lost easter egg of goodness. It’s a nice compliment to the photos and house details MLS print outs.

Step 1: Log into My Virtual Office (This is only accessible to Connecticut Prudential Realty agents)

Step 2: On the Left Sidebar scroll down to “Community Profiles” in the Client Services section.

Step 3: In the pop up window, select the town you need. Then click on the “View Community Profile” button.

Step 4: By now you should be seeing the town profile for the town you want. To print click on “Print This Page” at the top of the left sidebar.

Step 5: What you should see now is just the town profile stripped of all the extra webpage information and links. If all you need is a single copy, just click on the “Send To Printer” link on the top right of the page.

Step 6: If you need multiple copies – right click anywhere on the page, from the menu that opens select “Print” and you can select the printer to use and the number of copies before clicking on “Print”.

Boom! You’re done. Told ya it was easy.
