Your Featured Listings

Your Featured Properties on your webpage come from your listings entered into KWLS. In addition to the marketing and syndication benefits from KWLS, this allows agents within our office to co-market other agent's listings through KWLS. Win-Win. The following show you how to Co-Market. Click here to download instructions on How To Create a Listing in KWLS. Also, you can Visit Here to view where KWLS Markets your listing.

Make sure you've signed up for Wolfnet as your IDX. Guess what? You're already paying for it.

Groovy. Now in Section 4.2, make very sure that you click KWLS and not MLS. Know why? Boards are stingy and crusty! KWLS is the only sure fire way to feature your listing on your webpage.


Search by First or Last name for agents whose listings you wish to co-market.

Now, accept other agent's requests and show them how to accept yours now that you have a picture diagriam!

Mouse Commands; Commandeering the mouse

Yo,

I've been getting some questions about how to execute certain mouse commands like dragging and dropping, highlighting, and the use of the right click. If a few people have asked about this, I have the hunch that a others may have similar questions that they have not asked. The following links share some great exercises in mouse commands http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/mousepractice/ and also http://www.instruction.greenriver.edu/Avery/activities/mouse/MouseSkills.htm. If you're up to speed with mouse commands and feel like a laugh,

Ensure that your listing shows up as a featured property on your website.

Request co-marketing with other agents so that your listing shows up on their website as well.

Cutting and Pasting! Time Saving, Ryan's Way!

Ever had to type the same thing over and over again?
Have you ever had to get a piece of paper, write down something verbatim off your computer screen, and then go to another program on your computer and re-type the whole big long thing? Then how about trying the Windows functions of Cutting and Pasting!

Save time with cutting and pasting! It's easy!
There are a number of ways to cut or copy text, pictures, or files.
There are also a few ways to paste that information once it's on your Clipboard.
1) Highlight the text, files, or pictures you're interested in by clicking and dragging. Then you right click them with your mouse. This will bring up a right click menu, select Copy or Cut and click with your left mouse button to execute the command.
Once you've copied/cut your material, get your cursor where you want it, then right click select paste and left click it to execute the command.
2) Instead of using mouse right click commands, youc an do everything by the keyboard. Use CTRL + C to copy, CTRL+X to cut, and CTRL + V to Paste. This works especially well when applications or websites for some reason or another disable mouse commands.
3) To highlight everything on a page or in a window, use CTRL + A. This is especially useful if you want to copy all the text of an email.
4) Finally, you can also go up to the EDIT on the toolbar in most Windows applications and select to copy, cut, or paste.

Happy Time Savings!
