With the franchise office move upcoming we only have a couple new features/improvements and a few smaller bug fixes for this week:

1. Added Educational Designations to flex-site contact form.   REALTORS® can now add designations such as: BA, MBA, or any other real-estate related designations.
2. Updated settings to improve search result on Google and other search engines.
3. Several small bug fixes:
   • Realtor search results better represent smaller areas (especially when these areas are represented by more than one office).
   • Resolved an issue we were having downloading listings from REBGV (Greater Vancouver).
   • Made the “Realtor/Listing Linker” script a little more efficient.
   • Fixed a bug with the Flexi-site page titles that was occuring in rare cases

On Monday, you will notice two small updates:

1. Flexi-sites: Now REALTORS® and Offices can add/update their main Flexi-site photo via the upload page under the Presentation/Photo tabs in the Flexi-site editor.
   Note: This upload change is not instant, as SGRS must approve all photos for size, format, and quality.
2. Listings: We’ve added a new REALTOR® / Listing linking script for downloaded listings that will run during business hours on the hour from 6am PST (9am EST) until 6pm PST (9pm EST).

Explanation:

• In order for downloaded listings to appear on the REALTOR® Flexi-sites, the user must enter their Real Estate Board ID in the editor.
• For those REALTORS® who haven’t entered this Real Estate Board ID yet, you no longer need to wait 24 hours (the next download time) to be linked to your listings.

Welcome to the Sutton Group Realty Services Ltd. (SGRS) Blog.

This blog is intended to be used as a means of communication between SGRS and our Brokers, REALTORS®, and real estate clients. We’re hoping this actually brings double the value to Sutton:

1. The blog itself allows us to keep our Brokers, REALTORS®, and real estate clients informed of any developments to our various web projects.
2. The blog’s “comment system” allows our Brokers, REALTORS®, and real estate clients to leave suggestions of improvement, complaints, compliments, or general thoughts about our web projects.

This two-way street is important to us as it allows us to grow and better understand the needs of our users. Please feel free to comment on any of the new features that interest you.
