eEdge tip

So eEdge has been live for about two weeks now. What do you think? And before you start to vent about the difficulties as yourself a few questions...

Are you actively working on the system?
Have you put yourself in as a lead?
Have you clicked on the Groups?
Have you looked at your website to see what your clients are looking at?
Have you gone into the Quick search of your site and registered as a "fake buyer"

It is new and completely different than everything else you have ever worked on, you can't expect to go in and understand it in 5 minutes. You will learn something new each day, such as why the MLS search is inside the dashboard. I could tell you but then how would you learn the system!

Take a few minutes each day and look over the quick guide and accomplish just one item. Don't get frustrated, remember the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

My biggest advice I can give is to NOT wait for classes to come to you. The classes are good for tips but you will not fully understand eEdge unless you read thru the Quick guide.

Ps. the guide is attached to another post below.

PPs. A $25 Applebees gift card goes to the first agent who can tell me why the MLS Search is built into the eEdge dashboard. Comment with your answers.

Do you know where to find HUD homes??

Thank you to Chris Werz for the update on HUD - See below:

As of September 13^th 2010, HUD (Housing of Urban Development) changed the website where the list and accept bids on properties. The new site is www.hudhomestore.com.  They just didn’t change their website they changed how a sales agent places bids and how the properties had maintained.  Hud has moved from the old M&MII system (Hooks van Holmes) to the new M&MIII.  With the new system Asset managers will place the property with a listing agent and will review all bids that are submitted.  The Asset managers will be your point of contact as a buyer’s agent.

To register as a Bidder with HUD go to the new website at www.hudhomestore.com, and in the upper right hand corner find the register button and click the bidders link.  Follow the instructions to set up your log on.  The NAID number is PHLDLP. Training for the new system will be at the Market Center in April. If you need assistance prior to training, please contact Chris at 267-601-1455 or c.werz@kw.com.
