Maxi Real Estate Guide (Maxi) is an integrated system for real estate agents. It allows you to store all data on real estate properties and contacts in one place as well as providing many powerful tools that exploit the potential of this central store. In this one system you control everything from Web-site listings to email messages, brochures and more.

• Users locate properties according to certain search criteria.
• Users send pre-created form direct email to listing agent.
• Users can isolate listings by agent or company.
• Users have a mortgage calculator tied in that will show them perspective payments according to data they input, down-payment, current loan rates and length of loan, the price of the property is automatically brought forward on a per property basis.
• If enabled, users have a direct link from an individual listing detail page to the listing agents web site.

• Owners have the ability to change the look and feel of Maxi.
• Logging into the owner administrator section displays an array of administrative functions.
• Start by setting the initial look of the Maxi application, this is done from a web page!
• Set New Login and Password.
• Give the application its name, i.e. "Your City Real Estate"
• Set the meta key search words the search engines will use to index the application into the search engine databases.
• Set the meta description that will be accessed by the search engines to be included with link in search engine databases.
• Set all administrative contact information, such as email and post-mail addresses phone numbers, contact names etc.
• Set urls for sites of interest in the Maxi Guides region
  Change the header graphic for the site.
• Choose a background image from a bank of pre-supplied images to go with the guide.
• Set all site colors including text, background, link, active link, visited link, and the colors of the two table layouts used in the application.
• Prevent BAD words from appearing in the application with the use of gutter-talk. This neat little toy gives the owner the ability to prevent certain words from appearing in the database, be they typos or deliberate. Better safe than embarrassed!
• Set the account pricing for account ranges from 3 months to 1 year for the realtor accounts.
• Set the display style of the returned search info. to one of two styles, columnar tables or the popular search engine format where it appears condensed into neat little rows.
• Set "Photo Flagging", allows you to tell users that a certain listing has an uploaded image to go with it. Turning this option off will show all listings in the database to be equivalent, weather an image file has been used or not.
  The Maxi Guide is designed to run the administration with or with out SSL on the same web server. We recommend that SSL be used for the overall security of the Maxi Guide administration area. Both realtor and owner administrative files are in the same administrator directory.
• Set all the regional data, like subdivisions or neighborhoods, counties or districts of a city.
• Set the amenities search criteria. Owner decides what 6 amenities are important for the region hosting the guide. A beach town would want to offer items such as:
  Local Golf, Local Tennis, Beach Front, Gated Community
  Swimming pool, Patio
  Where as a mountain community may offer:
  Local Snow Skiing, Fireplace, Garage, Fenced Yard, Paved Drive, Wooded Lot
• Set up starter information for the "Local Real Estate Companies". This would be the adding the names of all of the "agencies" that are in the area. Don’t worry if one is missed the agents may also add the company name if they do not see at when they create their new account.
  Set the price search range that will appear in the search page. Some areas are going to have very low cost housing and others very high cost housing. Maxi Guide allows you to set the high and low search price parameters for this.
  Set the Property criteria for the realtors. The default settings for this are usually sufficient but they may be modified added to or deleted. Default settings are:
  Commercial, Gated, Vacant Lot, Mobile Home, Multi Family
  Residential, Villa /Condo

After the Set-Up

• Add properties for agents without access to a computer. This can be a "per property" fee based service.
• Set the hot link switch to "allow" on user accounts. This will make the individual realtors listings hot linked to an existing home page online. This lets Maxi Guide generate additional income. The fee for this was set in the main set up area.
• View listings in Maxi Guide by realtor total or by listing total.
• View list of listings belonging to each agent along with days left on or before expiration. Default is set to 30 days.
• Change a realtors account information at anytime or put the account on hold.
• Send email to all the account holders from a single form.
• This is great for sending messages about specials or updates that improve user flexibility to the Maxi Guide, which will be distributed on a regular basis. ITS Group Information Technology is always looking for improvements to add to our software.
• Send a bug report to the ITS Group Information Technology programming staff directly. If the application for one reason or another causes a page fault or an error message while the administrator is working on it. The only thing that needs to be done is to copy the contents of the page and back up to the bug report button. Press the button and paste the contents of the error message into the form area provided and hit the mail button. An "ITS Group Information Technology Programmer" will receive the email and be able to resolve the issue in a very speedy and timely fashion. Why is the bug report button better than plain email? The bug report will compile various information that ITS Group Information Technology will need in-order to fix the problem, these valuable variables are not available via regular email.
