Listingbook Milestone

In June of 2008, we added Listingbook to our stable of MLS products because it was innovative, easy to use, and we thought it would be a great tool for real estate professionals to engage in a more collaborative relationship with their customers. In less than four years, it has become an integral part of many of our users’ daily business.

We are excited to announce that the GFC CMLS Listingbook community has surpassed the 100,000 consumer mark!

Don’t miss out on the power of Listingbook. Show your customers (both buyers and sellers) that you are on top of things by giving them a Listingbook account. Your buyers will appreciate that they can go in and perform their own searches (in addition to the saved search you set up for them), and sellers will love the additional exposure they get when you assign their listing to their account and promote it (either as a Featured Listing or Open House).

Put Listingbook to work for you.

Call our office if you’d like help getting started.
