When buyers and sellers send an inquiry to an agent through a website, they want a super speedy response. But with our websites up and running 24 hours a day, how can we guarantee a fast response, even when we're asleep? By using an auto responder!

An auto responder is a piece of software that automatically sends an outgoing email when a message arrives in your inbox. A prospect requesting more information from your site can instantly receive a brief message assuring them that you have received their inquiry, are committed to providing top-notch service, and that you'll be contacting them shortly. You can set your auto responder when you go out of town, have a completely booked day, or anytime you will be away from you email inbox. For your convenience, you can set up your auto responder right in your AgentAdvantage Control Panel. It's just another benefit of your AgentAdvantage membership!

To access your email auto responder, simply:

1) Log in to your AgentAdvantage account.
2) Click the ´Leads & Marketing´ tab.
3) Click the Auto responder icon near the center of the page.
4) Choose one of the three pre-written messages or create your own.
5) Preview your email by clicking ´View´ or sumbit your final choice by clicking ´Select´. Now any email that you receive will be answered with this automatic message.
6) To de-activate your auto responder, simply click ´De-activate´.

Note: The auto responder in the Control Panel will only affect forms completed on your AgentAdvantage website. It will not affect your Homes.com email account.

If you have questions about this feature, or any other AgentAdvantage product, please do not hesitate to contact Member Services at (800)889-3726.
