Data included in VOW

Data not included in VOW

What is the concept behind a virtual office website?

The MLS contains protected information that is available to consumers only when they enter into a bona fide agency relationship. A VOW gives the consumer self-serve access to enhanced data and selling prices. The benefit to agents is that registered users may be characterized as clients under contract. Agent iFrame® VOW enables agents to scale their customer service by automating the buyer agency process and provide a research framework for sellers.

Why is this type of consumer portal called a virtual office website?

In the early days of the Internet, a virtual office website was a password-protected space where customers could connect with a business online. They were used wherever a “virtual office” was helpful for sales and customer service, similar to password-protected “virtual stores,” such as Amazon.com. Today, the term is used mostly in the real estate industry to describe a type of portal where consumers can access information that is only available through a real estate agent when they become a client.

Is Agent iFrame® VOW a website? I already have a website and don’t want another one.

Agent iFrame® VOW is not a separate website. It is a map portal that you can embed in your website or use as a standalone page. When it’s embedded, the VOW will look like part of your existing site. To share your VOW, send a potential client a link to your VOW page or directly to the mapped listings. Once there, they will be able to subscribe through a simple form that asks for contact information and a property wish list. You’ll receive an email and a text to approve the subscription. Simply respond to either one and your new client will get immediate access.
