MoxiWorks Now Includes Seller Leads from Offrs
Moxi Works h
as a new partner and their name is Offrs! This partnership was created to provide agents with quality seller leads. At Offrs, they identify over 70% of the homes that will sell in the coming year using predictive analytics. Now integrated with the Moxi open platform, seller leads are placed into the Moxi Engage™ CRM and are noted that they are sourced from Offrs.
Mike McHenry, VP of Channels and Partnerships said, “Together with Offrs, Moxi Works delivers agents new listing opportunities every month. Quality seller leads are discovered and nurtured by our lead generation partner Offrs, then seamlessly integrated with Moxi Engage, providing agents highly valued listing referrals coupled with an automated follow-up process. The team at Offrs have been awesome to work with as we integrated our solutions.”
So, how do they do it? They conduct an in-depth analysis of the data that then predicts when people will sell. This data is then presented to the agent via their Territory. Each agent chooses a Territory which includes details on every property or property owner, including mailing address, email, phone number, and a predictive seller score that is updated each month based on thousands of data points.
Getting your Territory is relatively simple:
• Step one is picking a territory that is available (you can even pick more than one).
• Simply put in the zip code and you’ll see the number of homes and the likely sellers in your territory.
• Once you set up your account, you’ll be emailed a report every month that pertains to your territory.
The reality is, 75% of homeowners choose the first agent who contacts them to list their home. Getting to sellers first is a major advantage to agents using Offrs. Offrs markets to the predicted sellers via email, on-line targeting, direct mail, and call targeting to generate a lead. The leads are then contacted and qualified before being given to the agent in the Moxi Works platform.

MoxiWorks Now Includes Automated Marketing from Imprev
Moxi Works’ latest open platform partner, Imprev, Inc. allows them to provide a simple, effective way for agents to market all of their listings without lifting a finger.
“We’re excited to expand our partner program to include an industry leader like Imprev Marketing. They have a long history of delighting their agent customers and together we have created a seamless experience for all Moxi Engage users,” said Mike McHenry, head of Partnerships.
Imprev drives synergy between the broker and agent’s marketing, empowering them to effortlessly promote their listings, brands, and brokerages through custom digital, social media, and print creative. Adding this onto the Moxi Works platform allows agents to focus on what they do best: sell.
Brand-Centric
Imprev allows brokerages and their agents to stay fully-branded with a custom marketing package for each and every listing.
Consistency
Not only is everything fully-branded, but each package is also brand consistent. This allows agents to market listings across all verticals with print and digital marketing (including social media) for professional looking content, every step of the way.
The marketing materials provided in each package also automatically update for the lifespan of the listing, to insure that agents’ marketing is never out of sync.

Industry Leader DocuSign Joins the MoxiWorks Open Platform
The Moxi Works open platform has just become even bigger with our DocuSign partnership! This partnership allows our CRM to provide a fully digital transaction management program for our agents to manage their workflow with clients.
“Partnering with the team at Moxi Works to deliver a streamlined experience for agents ties into our DocuSign ’Lead to Close‘ strategy. By seamlessly integrating the tools agents use every day, we help them remain at the center of the transaction to deliver great service to their clients while eliminating manual data entry, paperwork and associated cost and delays,” says Georg
Gerstenfeld, General Manager of Global Real Estate Solutions at DocuSign.
When it’s time for a transaction, Moxi Engage CRM creates a digital transaction room for the agent with all of the client and property info auto-populated. The digital transaction room enables the creation, editing, and sending of documents to anyone and everyone involved in the transaction. This means clients, loan officers, escrow, etc. can all interact within the same space. Now agents can also see the status of where each participant is in the buying and/or selling process, allowing for proper transaction management and maintenance to take place when needed.
York Baur, CEO of Moxi Works says, “Our open platform and our partnership enables us to achieve the first truly end-to-end digital transaction. Many have tried, but until now there wasn’t a feasible player in the game. Teaming up with Glenn Shimkus, VP of Product at DocuSign has been huge; his idea of making DocuSign an open platform has matched ours and that’s what allowed us to achieve this vision of an end-to-end digital transaction between both of our platforms.”
For those that may not be familiar, an open platform means having published, secure, API’s for all of the important functions and data that allow applications to work together. It may sound confusing, but the definition doesn’t matter. What matters is that this allows brokerages to remove stone age tools and plug in best-in-class applications and tools that agents need today. An Open Platform delivers incomparable productivity to help better business and life.
Understand how important it is having your tools integrated on one platform:

Huge Platform Expansion for Real Estate Brokerages
It’s been a busy couple years at MoxiWorks. We spotted a major trend developing that was making it harder and harder for brokerages to evaluate and implement the ever-increasing number of technology solutions. Every day it seems there’s a new lead generation company or mobile app or a marketing program for text. Or 3D video. It’s a tsunami of technology and the brokerages who don’t have an integrated platform are really falling behind.
No Integration Is Painful
It’s one thing just to track all the updates from existing providers and vet the newcomers. It’s quite another to integrate the ones you choose into a seamless experience for your agents. The underlying problem is all these tools and services don’t share data. Many, for example, require you to input your roster so they can work properly. Importantly, they are created independently and don’t work together. Your open house app and your CRM probably aren’t connected and doing things together to support your agents. There’s no cooperation in your system. The tsunami is a big problem that can’t be solved by brokers on their own.
You Need an Open Platform
An open platform is really a data exchange where all your applications give and receive the information they need to deliver a better experience for your agents. Everything from listing and roster data to public records data. The platform acts like a power strip where your applications plug in and everything just works. With it, your print provider can access the consumer data along with your brokerage branding to run effective marketing campaigns. With it, your agents don’t need to redundantly enter the listing information into your digital transaction management system since that can be transferred automatically. Done well, your agents will be presented the right tool at the right time making them more efficient. They like that a lot.
The Moxi Cloud
MoxiWorks has a well-established brokerage open platform, called the Moxi Cloud. It runs many of the most successful brokerages in the country. We have made it easily accessible for the whole ecosystem of tools and services. That was the technical part. On the business side, we created a long list of business relationships with companies that provide the tools and services you need – at a best-in-class level. Not only do they get the data, but we surface them at the right time and place. For example, when your agent goes to manage a transaction in their CRM, a transaction is created in your digital transaction manager. No more double entry. No million passwords to remember since it has SSO (single-sign on).
MoxiWorks now has a full-time team dedicated to building and integrating tools and services. We are providing the resources brokerages don’t have. We currently have over 40 integrated partners and the list is growing fast.

Drive Brokerage Success Through Engagement
Brokerage success is dependent on two groups of individuals: your managers and agents. What are you doing to help ensure their success and your brokerage?
If you struggle with this, you’re not alone. The key to brokerage success can be summarized in two words: employee engagement. No really. By providing managers and agents with an engagement plan that includes coaching, communication, and tools training, it will result in real results:
- Increase agent satisfaction and retention
- Stronger manager/agent relationship
- Faster learning of brokerage technology tools
- Higher profits
Measure brokerage success through employee engagement
For us, brokerage success is measured by this engagement. We recognize the challenges brokers face with providing technology for their agents. We see it across the many brokerages we talk with every day. Things like unopened emails or agents who don’t take training. Not to mention a wide spectrum of agents; everything from new agents to top producers, who all have their own habits and preferences. Add it all up and you can see why most technology in most brokerages has low adoption and use.
A brokerage success platform for everyone at your company
Moxi Works is an entire platform with many integrated tools and services. In order to maximize agent use across this platform, we have developed comprehensive methods for engaging all stakeholders including managers, agents, trainers and support staff. It’s a program we’ve developed to help our 50 brokerage clients achieve phenomenal adoption and use rates. Moxi Engage enjoys over 50% use and over 5.5 million sphere contacts. And Moxi Present has over 70% use.
We get these kinds of numbers by making sure everyone at a brokerage understands why they should use the tools, what the tools deliver and how to use them. We do this with materials that are easy to digest and deliver in offices. We rely far less on email and far more on video. We help new brokerages understand the process at the beginning, and we build smart project plans tailored to each brokerage.
Sounds good, right? How do you start the process? The good news for you is we’ve encapsulated our methods into an “Engagement Cookbook.” We use this at the start with new brokerages to implement the full process. It lays out our partnership, content, communication flow, timing, the early steps to take, and finishes with ongoing engagement. Feel free to use it at your brokerage.
10 Essential Mobile Tools for Real Estate Agents in 2015
Agents who are using the best in mobile technology and tools will always have a huge advantage compared to those agents who don’t. The best tools save time and make agents more productive. Here are 10 of my favorites. Let’s dive in.
1. Skyslope
Sign legal and transaction documents digitally from the local coffee shop or on vacation at the lake. Doesn’t get much better than that!
2. Mobile Printers
A lightweight and portable printer allows you to print documents in your car. Here are a few on Amazon.
3. Goodreader
Read virtually any type of digital document from anywhere on your iPad or iPhone. Goodreader allows you to read/edit documents, create annotations, markup and highlights. Described by Mashable as “the Swiss Army Knife of awesome” this is a great tool that you’ll use every day.
4. Cell Phone Hotspot
For an extra $20 a month on your cell phone bill you can have internet access on your laptop or tablet when you’re not near a WIFI signal via a hotspot. The ability to connect to your MLS wherever you happen to be is a huge advantage. Especially when your competitors have to wait to get back to their office to make updates to a client’s CMA. Talk to your cell phone provider for specifics.
5. 1Password app
There are hundreds of sites you use each month, which means hundreds of passwords to remember. You could use the same password for all of them but this isn’t secure. A better way is to use the 1Password app to keep track of your passwords. It’s ultra secure and works on smartphones, tablets and computers and supports Apple’s TouchID on iPhones. An essential tool for agents.
6. Mint.com
I love Mint.com and use it every day. Mint’s great for budgeting and keeping track of business receipts and expenses. It’s easy to setup and best of all it’s free.
7. Dropbox Pro
For $10 a month, you get 1TB of space, which is plenty of room to put all your transaction and client files and have access on the go wherever you are.
8. Smartphone Flashlight Feature
Agents are always crawling around dark basements and that handy flashlight app on your phone will save you a cobweb in the face. If your smartphone doesn’t have a flashlight feature, there are free apps that will enable it.
9. A Responsive Website
A responsive website simply means that your website looks great on mobile devices like phones and tablets. Did you know that today 1 in 4 real estate website visitors come from a mobile device? This is huge! Be sure to make sure that your IDX website is responsive. If it’s not easy to navigate on your phone it might be time to start looking around for a website that is.
10. TouchCMA
The ability to do live updates to comparables while standing in your seller’s kitchen during a presentation has serious WOW factor. Signup for a free 30 day trial and check it out for yourself.
