Step by Step Instructions

To Quickly Get You Searching Like an Agent
 

It's pretty easy but some have difficulty getting started

Follow this tutorial and you'll soon have the power that only agents have

 

 

Dear Home Searcher,

My new Listingbook system is fairly easy to use but sometimes it's that one little thing that gets you stuck and makes you bail before you find out how great the system actually is.

I wish I could personally be next to you on your computer and show you exactly how to set up this great system.  I want you to get up to speed very quickly and start enjoying the power of searching like an agent.  This tutorial is the next best thing.

There's always a learning curve, especially when a system gives you a lot of options and power.  You don't step into a rocket and expect to be able to fly it like an astronaut.  I'm not saying agents are rocket scientists but when there are a lot of buttons and switches, sometimes it's not obvious to everyone on exactly what button to press.

So please take a minute and follow along with my step by step picture tutorial.  To some, this is all obvious. To the many who are technology challenged like myself, I feel your pain and I want to help you through it so you can enjoy the power that Listingbook provides you.

I'm just one out of thousands of agents in the country who offer Listingbook, but I've appointed  myself as the chief troubleshooter for Listingbook.  I now have a direct point of contact to the heads of the Listingbook company.  So if you have any problems or suggestions, please contact me and I will make sure they get to the people who can make some changes.

A happy user is a user who will want to use me as their agent.  That's my motivation for this entire website.  So tell me what makes you happy.

Click here to get to the Sign up page but you might want to first skim through my picture tutorial below first.  Or if you are impatient like me, just go there and sign up and if you get stuck, come back here and read the directions.  Trust me, it's those little things that might get you hung up.

Follow my step by step tutorial below to make sure you get searching like an agent  quickly and easily.

Feel free to call me at any time.  I'm here to help you in any manner you wish.

Sincerely,

Tim Maitski

1.  Click here to go to the sign up page which will look like the image below.

First thing to do is to Unclick the Listingbook Mobile request and it will be easier because you won't have to set up a username and password at this point.

You can get the mobile app later.

 

2.  Just enter your name and email. 

You don't have to input your phone number.  I think they put that there because many  agents around the country like to call up users immediately after they sign up and then try to sell their services as an agent.  I don't do that.  Of course I would like to be your agent but I'll let you call me when you are ready to start looking.

 

3.  Click the Submit button and wait a few seconds until you see "Success" at the top.

Now what?  The system doesn't tell you that you need to go check your email in order to activate your acccount.

So please go check your email.  It might take a few minutes but it will come.

Check your spam folder just in case.

 

 

 

4.  The email that is sent will be from "Listingbook Messenger"

 

5. Open the email and click "CONFIRM INVITATION"

You can read the rest if you want but you don't have to.

 

 

6.  After you click "CONFIRM INVITATION" a welcome page will appear.

You don't have to fill any of this stuff out.  Just click submit and you'll get to the next page.

If you do make specific choices on this page, it will not restrict your searching in any way.

All this does is automatically set up a Homefinder account which will send you daily reports based on your choices here.

You can set up a specific Homefinder later. Right now I'm sure you just want to play around a little and test the system.

 

 

7. Another page will appear.  Again, you don't need to fill any of this out.

Just click the "Skip This Step" button.

If you input your address, the system will automatically send you market reports for the market activity in your specific market area.

You can always set that up later if that is what you want.  It's actually a pretty nice feature of the system that many do like.

 

8.  The next page that pops up is the one page you need to complete.

Just create a user name and a password that you'll remember.

If you have a common name it's likely that it is already being used by another user so keep trying until you find an unused name. 

 

9.  OK, that wasn't so bad.

Now you will be on your "Front Page" of your account.  A video down below will start playing.  I recommend that you take the few minutes to watch it.  It will point out a lot of the special features that you might not recognize by just clicking around by yourself.

Since you probably just want to do some home searching, click the tab that says "Search"

 

10.  You first have to define the area that you want to search by either using the map tools or the location input box.

Click one of the "map pencils" at the left.  The one that is curved will give you a curser that you can use to draw any shape that you'd like.

You can make detailed adjustments to the shape by clicking on the edge and then moving around any of the anchor points.

You can then select price and beds and baths to narrow things down a bit.

Remember to click the green Search button at the right to get the results. 

Be patient.  It can take a few seconds for results to appear.

You can click the home pictures or the house icon on the map for a full detailed listing sheet

 

11.  You can use the location input box to search by city, zip, school or subdivision

 

12.  As you start typing, a menu list of possible options appears so you don't have to know exact spelling.

But make sure you actually select one of the choices from the list.  If you just type "north springs" and forget to click the "north springs" option from the list, nothing will happen.

 

13.   "More Options" is where the real power of searching like an agent is.  Click the "More Options" to make all your options appear.

 

14.  If you just want to search for homes that are available, check "Active".  You can search for solds and even leased homes.  You can search for homes with recent price reductions or just the new listings.

 

15.  There of hundreds of criteria grouped by category.  Click the little arrow to pull up the list of your choices.  Some categories have many choices so be sure to use the scroll bar to see all of them.

  

 

16.  Click the check box once and a green check will select that criteria.  Click it one more time and a red X will appear meaning that homes with this characteristic will be excluded.


 

17.  It's easy to forget what criteria are selected.  But look at the right of each category title and it will state the number of items selected in that category.

Word of Advice: Start with a very broad search net and add specific criteria one by one.

Word of Advice: Write down the criteria you select and under what category it was found so you know where to look if you want to change it.


 

18 Save multiple searches for future use

 

19.  Boundary overlays for map for zip codes, cities, neighborhoods and school districts.



20. Boundaries outlined on map


 

21.  Sort by clicking on column titles. Click a second time to reverse sort.

 

22.  Listing sheet with all the details.  Organize as a favorite or reject it so it doesn't come up again.  Click "Property Watch" if you want to get notified of price or status changes.




23.  You need to set up a separate search in "My Home Finder" in order to get daily updates.

 

First pick property type and then all of your other search criteria options will show up

 

 
 
 

Please Call me at 404-216-0472 if you get stuck at any step

email Tim@HomeAtlanta.com if you have suggestions on how to improve the system and I will forward them on to the powers that be at Listingbook

Where We Do Business

Our market area is in the north metro Atlanta area.  We service Cobb County, north Fulton County, Dekalb County, Forsyth County and Gwinnett County.  We are very familiar with Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Midtown. 

We have sold homes inside the perimeter and outside the perimeter.  We can't know everything so for clients who want to look for property in Peachtree City, Newnan, Stone Mountain, Douglasville, Macon and areas further out we will gladly recommend a good agent who specializes in those areas.

We help buyers negotiate with builders for residential new construction houses. New houses in Atlanta are hot right now. We can represent you in the purchase of your new house built by any of the following builders: Torrey Homes, MDC Homes, Centex Homes, Pulte Homes, Morrison Homes, Ryland Homes, John Wieland Homes, Winmark Homes, Meridian Homes, John Willis Homes, Benchmark Homes and many more home builders.

We can help clients find short term apartments for rent but normally we don't work with clients who are just looking for rentals.  We do help clients find Atlanta condos.  We can also help you purchase HUD homes in Atlanta.  We are an authorized agent with them and have the HUD key to get into HUD homes.  We have access to foreclosure homes that banks want to sell.

We love showing executive homes and luxury homes. We always like to know how people find our site.  Send us an email and tell us which search term you used. Some terms that we might be found by are realty Atlanta, Ga homes, Atlanta realty, condos Atlanta, Atlanta realestate, Atlanta property, houses Atlanta, Atlanta realtors, Ga houses, or realtors Atlanta.  Maybe you found us by typing in Atlanta MLS listings, or Atlanta MLS search, or MLS Atlanta GA. Hopefully we don't come up under nursing homes or funeral homes.

It is always amazing to me how the Internet can allow total strangers to find each other and build new business relationships.  It truly is becoming a small, interconnected world.
