Curious About Digital Advertising? Boost Makes It Easy!
Here’s Where to Find It in Pinergy (and Where to Get Answers)

Boost, an optional automated digital advertising service, is now integrated with Pinergy. Boost appears in Pinergy’s Tools and in Listings Manager on all on-market, sold, and rented listings. Also, you can add Boost to the Quick Links for quick and convenient access. It’s all highlighted in our “Boost in Pinergy” video. Once your Boost account is set up, selecting Boost from Pinergy will use a “single sign-on” to sign in to your Boost Dashboard. For help with Boost, you have plenty of options! There’s Lone Wolf’s dedicated Boost page for MLS PIN customers (which includes a chat feature), a tech support phone option (612-284-2828, M–F, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.), and an email option (homespotter.support@lwolf.com). Or just watch their in-depth introductory video for a great overview of the process. Remember, MLS PIN customers receive exclusive discounts on their “listing promotion” ads!

How to Get Started with Boost (and a Helpful Video)

When you first access Boost’s website via Pinergy’s Quick Links or Tools (or Listings for a listing-based digital ad), you’ll be able to start the ad process immediately by clicking “Start an Ad.” If prompted to sign in, close out of the sign-in window and continue with the ad. Once you’ve approved and paid for the ad, you’ll be prompted to create an account and password, and all future Boost transactions will be conducted with your account details and payment method. While not free, Boost’s digital ads are an extremely cost-effective way to reach the right customers where they spend their time online—at sites like Facebook, Instagram, and across the web—for less than you might think. And remember, MLS PIN customers receive generous discounts! View this recorded Boost Fundamentals webinar to learn more about Boost.

Be First to Know with Pinergy’s Automated Hot Sheet Alerts

One of the excellent new features recently added to Pinergy’s hot sheets is Alerts. With Alerts, you can set your hot sheet to run automatically (as frequently as every 15 minutes) and notify you of new results via email and/or text. You’ll need to set up your mobile phone number to receive texts from Pinergy, and you can do that from Options & Settings or right from a hot sheet’s search settings.

View Up to 1,000 Listings in Your Search Results!

Pinergy has doubled the maximum number of listings that can be viewed in search and hot sheet results, from 500 to 1,000! So now you can effectively work with larger sets of listings from your search or hot sheet using Pinergy’s summary views and the tools they offer. Select your preferred summary view at the top of the results page, and use the Options button to customize the view. Use the blue Delete and Keep buttons to tailor your results to exactly what you want. Select the blue Stats button for listing statistics. Select the blue Download button for a text file you can use to generate your own statistics. Select the chevron in the blue property type heading to hide those listings and show only their summary statistics (and select the chevron to show the listings again). Select the Sort button to choose a different sort order. On your desktop or tablet, use the green “column” buttons in one-line views to add/remove/adjust columns and create multi-level sorts. Select the three vertical dots in a column heading to remove or sort by that one column. View our 6 Quick Tips on Using Pinergy’s Search Results flyer for more details. With up to 1,000 listings in your search or hot sheet results, there’s a lot you can do!

“Big” news about Pinergy’s search maps: they’re now expandable to full-screen in both Search and Hot Sheets! When searching on a desktop or mobile device, select the “expand” button in the upper-right corner of the map to have maximum room to draw search areas, plot locations and points of interest, view listing previews, and more.

Responsive Searching for Your Contacts–Here’s How

Now you can give your Contacts convenient access to a responsive Property Search—right from their property match “card views.” Once you configure and activate your responsive IDX Search (found in Pinergy’s Tools), you can use the VOW editor (found in Pinergy’s Tools) to activate the Search for Homes menu option (make sure “Responsive IDX Search” is selected if it’s an option). This will add the Property Search button to the top of the responsive “card view” used to present a Contact’s property matches. Selecting the button will open your responsive IDX Search, giving your Contacts the ability to find and view properties that may be outside of their regular search areas. View our Setting Up the Responsive IDX Search video for more information.

Vacant Land Scam Warning

MLS PIN has been made aware of recent scams nationally and, most recently, here in MA that involve individuals contacting a real estate professional to list a vacant lot for sale. These individuals are not the owner or authority to sell said property. Most often, these situations are for vacant land or a vacant home, and the communication is via email, text, or phone call. The legal team at the Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® has shared with us essential steps that can be taken by real estate professionals for their safety and to prevent this scam from happening. Please review MAR's RECENT SCAMS WARNING blog post and view their How to Perform a Tax & Title Search video for further information on how to be diligent about legitimate leads. Massachusetts REALTORS® may call the MAR Legal Hotline at 800-370-5342 or email legalhotline@marealtor.com with questions or concerns.
