WINDERMERE TOOLS
The tools you need to grow your business and exceed your clients’ expectations.
Direct marketing
Whether agents are marketing their listings or themselves, Windermere’s
exclusive Custom Xpress tool gives them access to thousands of branded,
customizable postcard, flyer, brochure, and newsletter templates.
They can upload their own mailing list, or choose from a variety
of demographic and geographic lists to target prospective clients.
Automated property marketing
Automated property marketing makes it easier than ever for agents to
market new listings quickly by automatically creating a postcard of each
new listing, using photos and data from the MLS. When agents receive
the email notification that their postcard is ready, they just review the
proof, select a geographic radius list from the mailing options, and click
to send their postcards. Plus Windermere agents save 5% on the cost of
this quick and cost-effective tool.
Online ad posting
Windermere’s Listing Xpress tool lets agents post their listings to agent-toagent sites and Craigslist quickly and easily using a variety of customizable
templates. Its robust reporting tool tracks how their listings perform
on these sites, as well as Windermere.com and all of Windermere’s
syndication channels. It can even email performance reports automatically
to clients.
Turn-key monthly newsletter
Windermere’s exclusive monthly Home Update newsletter provides timely
real estate-related articles and tips, a regional home pricing guide, and the
ability for agents to customize it with their own comments, photo, and
contact information.

Exclusive listing magazine
Windermere Living is a quarterly full-color magazine featuring listings from
throughout our network. It includes a Residential/Rental section, a Premier
Properties section, and a section dedicated to properties in second-home
areas (Destinations). Distribution is via advertisers, Windermere offices, and
direct mail in the form of a radius list of known homeowners surrounding
each listing in the magazine. It’s an attractive and affordable tool for listing
presentations, open houses, and agent promotion.
Premier PropertiesTM program
Our Premier program showcases high-end properties with exclusive
marketing materials and advertising opportunities, as well as a network
of agents serving high-end clientele.
touchCMA
Windermere’s robust CMA tool, touchCMA, offers two formats for maximum
flexibility. Agents can quickly create and sync CMAs on their computer and
iPad using pre-loaded or custom pages, including Windermere’s suite of
presentation sheets to help clients understand the selling process. The iPad
app has dynamic mapping features and interactive graphs and charts, and
even creates a PDF leave-behind of the presentation that can be printed
or emailed on the spot. It’s a great way to wow clients while providing the
information they need to make informed decisions.
Real estate content sharing
Leverage content from Windermere.com, the Windermere blog and
Facebook page, and the Windermere Foundation blog and Facebook page
to keep your own website or blog timely and relevant.

which can generate new leads through viral sharing and its built-in lead
generation form. And best of all, it’s free with every print order placed on
Custom Xpress.
Social media dashboard
SocialHQ saves time by letting agents manage all their social media
channels from one easy-to-use dashboard. It provides a library of timely,
real-estate-related content that can be scheduled in advance to post
anytime. Agents can track responses and results, and even set up keyword
search tools to source leads and manage their online reputation.
Mobile search options
Windermere has two easy ways for potential buyers to search
for properties on their mobile devices. Windermere.com automatically
redirects mobile devices to our mobile-optimized website,
mobile.windermere.com, which gives them a variety of search options
for homes or Windermere agents and offices.
The Windermere Real Estate Search App for iPhone has even more helpful
features, including nearby open houses, driving tours, and Google points
of interest near the user or specific properties. And the My Agent feature
makes it easy for clients to contact their Windermere agent for more
information or showings.
