HomeSmart Technology Continues Improving Agent Experience With App Updates

“HomeSmart is devoted to providing agents with the best possible real estate experience,” said Matt Widdows, HomeSmart’s founder, CEO and tech visionary.


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)

HomeSmart International, the most successful 100% brokerage model according to the RealTrends 500, continues to improve the agent experience with its proprietary cutting-edge technology. The company’s in-house development team has implemented several advancements to the RealSmart Agent transaction management software and mobile application in the last quarter, with the goal of providing agents complete visibility into a seamless transaction process from his or her smartphone.

“HomeSmart is devoted to providing agents with the best possible real estate experience,” said Matt Widdows, HomeSmart’s founder, CEO and tech visionary. “Having our own development team at headquarters gives us a competitive advantage; we can begin working on software fixes and new features as soon as we receive feedback from agents and brokers.”

Since releasing an updated RealSmart Agent platform in 2017, HomeSmart International’s software has helped the company maintain staffing levels while realizing a 12.5% increase in agent transaction sides each year.

The transaction management software now includes an advanced feature that allows agents to access information on how many views a listing has received on HomeSmart.com, Zillow.com and Trulia.com. This new update provides a digital one-stop-shop for agents to access important information on their listings and provides them with the ability to better track their performance.

“I love the agent panel, which allows me to manage my website, access marketing materials, and submit every part of the contract electronically,” said HomeSmart Colorado agent Bradley Cook.

At the suggestion of an agent, HomeSmart’s development team added a toggle button on the RealSmart Agent listing screen that allows for rental or sale files to be easily accessed on the same page as the listing. This eliminates the need for agents to click through separate tabs to access or edit documents and information from either side of the transaction.

“My agents love the RealSmart Agent mobile app,” said Stephanie Sandoval, broker and owner of HomeSmart Lifestyles in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Fountain Hills, Arizona. “In between appointments, they can pull over to check their documents and see the status of their transactions, allowing them to feel extra confident walking into their next appointment. They never have to wait to get to the office and love the convenience of always being mobile.”

RealSmart Agent has always allowed for easier communication, and the implementation of a “Special Instruction Notes” section on the agent’s commission screen has made communication within the app more effective. The advancement provides the option for agents to communicate specific information regarding commission reimbursement, fees and closing needs to the closing team to ensure that the file is closed correctly. These notes eliminate the need for additional communication outside of the app.

As a brokerage known for extensive training, HomeSmart provides agents with access to endless opportunities for career growth from its interactive education class schedule. Agents can now view, register and manage available CE classes from their RealSmart Agent portal, and download completed course certificates to boost credibility with clients.

“The implementation of an easily accessible and comprehensive mobile app has allowed us to further improve the performance of our agents and the level of service they provide to their clients,” added Widdows.

HomeSmart International has a network of nearly 18,000 agents across 35 states. The brokerage has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for seven consecutive years and is ranked in the top 5 real estate brokerages in the United States by the REAL Trends 500.

Holiday Candy Consumption Highlights Need for Exceptional Dental Habits, says Dr. Farzad Feiz

Leave a comment


Dr. Feiz is here to help keep candy-instigated health problems to a minimum.

Candy consumption, or any sugary food or beverage for that matter, is likely okay in moderation so long as candy lovers are making sure they are maintaining excellent dental hygiene habits and are regularly visiting their dentist.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

An October 15 article on Yahoo Lifestyle reports on the most and least dental-unfriendly candy during the holiday period. While no candy is especially good for your teeth, some are far worse than others, says the article. For example, sour gummies, hard candy, taffy, and caramels are among the worst offenders because of their propensity to get stuck in one’s teeth, increasing exposure to harmful sugars and acids. On the other hand, chocolate, particularly the less-sweet dark chocolate variety, is better because it tends to dissolve quickly and does not harm tooth enamel as much, the article says. Dr. Farzad Feiz of California Dental Care and Calabasas Dental Group says that candy consumption, or any sugary food or beverage for that matter, is likely okay in moderation so long as candy lovers are making sure they are maintaining excellent dental hygiene habits and are regularly visiting their dentist.

The clinic says that sugars that are found in candy provide extra food for unhealthy bacteria already found in a patient’s mouth. By essentially adding more fuel to the fire, these bad bacteria create waste acids that destroy enamel and make teeth susceptible to decay. The clinic notes that there a few practices that can minimize the damage of this process though. For example, drinking plenty of water while eating candy can rinse away some of the extra bits of candy that may be stuck inside teeth. More importantly, the clinic adds, waiting about 15 to 30 minutes to brush teeth after candy, or any kind of food, consumption can give a patient’s tooth enamel a chance to re-mineralize after acid exposure. If brushing occurs right after a patient eats, there is a higher chance that the bristles on the brush could actually damage the teeth. Flossing will also help get tiny bits of candy that may be stuck in between teeth while rinsing with a mouth wash can mop up any remaining particles, the clinic adds.

Dr. Feiz also notes that in addition to exercising superb dental hygiene habits, it is important to see a dentist for checkups and whenever any sign of an ailment might arise.

Unfortunately, he notes, even those with the best hygiene habits may sometimes be susceptible to various dental ailments. Visiting a dentist regularly can help prevent these potential issues from becoming serious while also ensuring proper dental health with outstanding oral health services, the clinic adds. The doctor adds that those worried about costs need to know that routine checkups and preventative measures are always far less financially burdensome than treatments for advanced dental concerns.

Amber Sutfin Launches Pet Wants South Hills in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Leave a comment


Amber Sutfin

I saw legitimate results with my own dogs, which is what encouraged me to bring Pet Wants to this community. I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the community and helping other pet families understand what’s in pet food and what makes Pet Wants different. – Amber Sutfin


PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Amber Sutfin is pleased to announce the launch of her new business, Pet Wants South Hills.

Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl. Pet Wants South Hills has multiple blends of dog and cat food formulas as well as healing salve, calming balm, anti-itch spray, paw wax and more.

Pet Wants South Hills is a mobile business that offers free, personal delivery to South Hills and Washington County, including Greentree, Carnegie, Dormont, Brookline, Mt Lebanon, Castle Shannon, Bethel Park, Upper St Clair, South Park, Whitehall, Peters Township, McMurray, Cannonsburg, North Strabane and Cecil.

The Sutfin family includes two flat coated retrievers, a 6-year-old named Sako and a 2-year old named Berk, a.k.a. Legend of the Bonenapper. Berk has earned his AKC Championship and his Canadian Championship and has recently trained to bird hunt. Before they switched to Pet Wants, Sutfin could see that Sako wasn’t doing as well as she thought she should be.

“She was only 5, and had constant ear infections, skin problems and a lack of energy and she was just grumpy. Now that she’s eating Pet Wants, her energy level is has completely turned around and her coat looks awesome and her ear issues are resolved. I saw legitimate results with my own dogs, which is what encouraged me to bring Pet Wants to this community,” Sutfin said. “I’m looking forward to getting more involved in the community and helping other pet families understand what’s in pet food and what makes Pet Wants different.”

Sutfin, who received her United States citizenship this year, is originally from Canada and has lived in the United States since 2006. She has a degree in Interior Design and is a Certified Life Coach as well as a Certified Reiki Master and Animal Reiki Master Practitioner. She and her husband, Mike Sutfin, have two children – their 9-year-old son named Jacob and their 7-year-old daughter named Dagen. Sutfin decided to launch Pet Wants South Hills after seeing the impact nutrition had on her dog Abby.

“Before Abby passed away two years ago, I watched her health and quality of life decline. Worried about her, I dove into researching nutritional needs of dogs and ended up cooking her food with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I saw an immediate improvement in her coat, weight, energy level and quality of life. I know having the right nutrition made a huge difference in her last months,” Sutfin said. “Although we were able to cook for Abby, I know that’s a challenge for many families. That’s where Pet Wants comes in. With Pet Wants, you get fresh food that’s made with fresh, high-quality ingredients without adding something else to your own plate.”

Pet Wants has a 100-percent, money-back guarantee on the freshness and quality of the food and the company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski Combat Gum Disease in Waterford, CT with Minimally Invasive Laser Dentistry

Leave a comment


Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback, Periodontists in Waterford, CT

Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback Offer LANAP® Gum Surgery Alternative to Waterford, CT

LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease.


Waterford, CT (PRWEB)

Established periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, provide minimally invasive laser gum disease treatment for patients in Waterford, CT. Specifically, this periodontal team offers LANAP® laser gum surgery at their two convenient office locations. This revolutionary method uses modern dental lasers and an FDA-cleared protocol to remove the harmful, disease-causing bacteria that causes gum disease, leaving healthy tissue unharmed and even promoting advanced healing.

As a laser dentistry alternative to more traditional and invasive osseous surgery, LANAP offers several key advantages. First, because LANAP requires no scalpels or sutures, patients enjoy faster healing times and minimal discomfort during and after treatment. For those who experience dental fear or anxiety, Drs. Toback and Urbanski also offer a range of sedation dentistry services to ensure every patient is comfortable during their treatment.

Another benefit of LANAP laser dentistry is the precision afforded to the periodontists administering it. The dental laser used to offer LANAP is the PerioLase® MVP-7™. This modern dental tool can specifically pinpoint areas of unhealthy gum tissues and thus remove destroyed tissue without affecting the healthy surrounding tissue. In fact, LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease. This groundbreaking discovery ensures gum disease sufferers restore their smile faster and prevent harmful symptoms sooner than alternative surgeries can provide.

Without regular interventions from a periodontist, a gum disease specialist, patients with gum disease can expect to experience progressive degradation of their oral health. Over time, gum disease moves from early gingivitis stages to advanced periodontitis. The only way to avoid losing teeth and bone is by partnering with a trained periodontist. With decades of leading the industry in modern periodontal techniques like LANAP, Drs. Toback and Urbanski are also respected as speakers on new discoveries in the field of periodontics.

Individuals in the Waterford, CT area who present the initial or late-stage warning signs of gum disease such as bleeding or swollen gums, bad breath and loose teeth are invited to contact Drs. Toback and Urbanski to discuss gum disease treatments include LANAP. To contact their New London, CT office, call 860-443-2428. Their Westerly, RI office can be reached at 401-596-0000. Appointments can also be scheduled online at http://www.shorelineperio.com.

About the Periodontists

Shoreline Periodontics is a periodontal practice offering personalized dental care for patients since 1998 and is located in New London, CT and Westerly, RI. Leading board-certified periodontist, Dr. Gregory A. Toback, received his B.A. from St. John’s University and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut. He also received advanced training in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Marianne Urbanski has been voted one of Connecticut’s top dentists for more than seven years by Connecticut Magazine. Dr. Urbanski graduated cum laude from the College of Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts where she earned a Bachelors’ degree in Biology. She also received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and her Masters’ of Dental Science degree from the University of Connecticut Dental School. Dr. Urbanski and Dr. Toback pride themselves on offering caring, professional treatment to each patient. Dr. Toback and Dr. Urbanski focus on minimally invasive surgeries including LANAP® laser gum surgery and are certified to offer the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for treatment of gum recession.

Why Drivers Should Buy Car Insurance During Black Friday

Leave a comment


News Image

“Black Friday is the perfect time to review your insurance needs, get online quotes and find more rewarding offers”. said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org (http://compare-autoinsurance.org/) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website offers car insurance info about different coverage types and money-saving tips


  • If you think that car insurance should be on top of the Black Friday shopping list, then you are totally right. And rest assured, you are not the only driver that thinks the same. In fact, there are many millions of people who consider Black Friday an opportunity to reduce, if not permanently at least for a short period of time, the costs of expensive services. And considering how expensive some policies are, drivers should be on the lookout for this year’s exclusive deals. Drivers are advised to use several auto insurance quotes online. They will help drives get an edge and be prepared to negotiate for better premiums or discounts.

  • This year, Black Friday is on November 23rd and it marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping spree. The clock is ticking and prospective clients should get ready. The insurance providers have already started selling tempting offers. We can see all sorts of radio, TV and online ads.

  • Black Friday is the best time to switch companies. One of the most popular promotions is a discounted rate for a short period of time: say, 30% off the first six months of car insurance when buying a one-year plan. The car insurance company gets a new customer, and he gets 30% cheaper car insurance for the first six months.

  • Each insurance company has its deduction limits. After all, it’s complicated to provide huge discounts in the insurance industry. If an auto insurance company suddenly gives car insurance to thousands of high-risk drivers, it exposes them to huge liability. With the discounted rates, they might not have the money to cover all of the new drivers. While bigger companies may provide a 10-15% discount for several months, smaller and lesser-known companies may adopt a more aggressive sales tactic and provide bigger discounts, like 30-40% for more time.

  • Prices vary widely and in order to keep track of all opportunities, we recommend drivers to monitor several insurance and consumer report websites. Getting quotes during Black Friday is also a smart idea. Also, keep in mind that besides online negotiations, drivers should also try to speak face to face with insurance representatives. In some cases, this approach is more rewarding.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
