Hey folks, it's Jonathan Bowen with Hub Edge Realty. How are ya? Ahm, we are gonna go through my Virtual Office Website (VOW) today which is a website provided to me by Pinergy, ah, actually by, ah, MLS Property Information Network which is the purveyor of Pinergy. So this site I've had since, I don't know, 2003? 2004? I don't even remember when, ahm, MLS PIN, ah, activated these but they haven't done any work on them, ah, haven't updated them since, ahm, these sites were first introduced. So it's a terrible lookin' site, there's no doubt about that, ahm, but the good news is..., is that you literally cannot get closer to MLS data than by using this site, I don't care who tells you what, it's wrong, this is number one, this is the best, ah, if you want MLS data, it's not gonna be the prettiest but it's going to come directly from the MLS. You can't get closer, okay? So let's go through this, ahm, as quickly as possible and, ah, let's take a look. So this is, excuse me, this is my "Welcome" screen, you can read that if you'd like, okay? Ahm... What we're gonna do here is, we're gonna pretend that we are a client named Testy McTest and, ahm, we're gonna click on this "Sign Up" page. Now this is what you would do if you were a buyer and you wanted to  search for some real estate and you wanted to get real estate listings sent to you in your email, ahm, I think it's best to get them sent every day. So if you're interested in working with me, I know you are, ahm, fill out this information and I'll get your search squared away, okay? So, we are gonna go ahead to the "Sign In" tab because we already have a, an account, okay? And I'm gonna sign in and, ahm, what I'm gonna tell you here now is, when you sign up for an account, you and I will be working together, ahm, or if you want to work with any other Hub Edge Realty agent, they have their own personal VOW pages and, ahm, you can work with them, ah, their VOW page will look different, that's no big deal, okay? But... Here's what's cool, we're gonna go over to the Pinergy site and we're gonna see Testy McTest here, okay? And what I've done here is, I've set up three different searches for Testy McTest. Unfortunately, you won't be able to see this map search which is the coolest search, ahm, this is a search that I did, ah, in a five-mile radius from my home, ahm, and let's click on that, we're in the back end of Pinergy, un-unfortunately, you can't see this but I can help you with this, okay? Ahm, we have all types of criteria here, ah, single families, condominiums, I can do anything here, I, if you want to do open houses only, I can do that. Ahm... So many different options, okay? If you want me to create a custom map, maybe you're a builder or a developer, and you only want to buy a piece of property in a certain subdistrict or a certain, ah, zoning area, I can help you with that, ahm, you won't see the map, again, but I will create it exactly to the dimensions of those, ahm, districts or subdistricts, okay? Ahm, alright, so, we're gonna go back to, eh, well, let's go back to Testy McTest, and I've got two other searches set up for Testy McTest, ah, a Brockton multi-family search, all multi-families in Brockton or Stoughton single family search, all single families in Stoughton, okay? Ahm, so all of those are all jumbled together within the "Results" page on your personalized page, okay? So, what we're  gonna do here is..., we are going to, well, let's go to, ah, let's go to the last page here and just check to see what we have, okay? We're gonna go to 43 Mears Lane in Stoughton, okay? We're gonna click on that, and you can see all 29 photos, okay? If you want to see larger photos, you click on this button, another tab pops up and, ah, you'll be able to see the larger photos, okay? Ahm... Again, this is not the best looking site in the world but it does what you need better than any other site in the world and that is to have access to all MLS listings, okay? Now, we're gonna stay with 43 Mears Lane in Stoughton, there are some really cool things you can do here, you can "Request a Showing", okay? Boom! Ah, you gotta fill out a little security code thing, you can send a message, ahm, I will get that email, ah, and we'll set up a showing to get into that property...
