On IdealEstate boards are a great way to create collections of homes that can be shared with a client. Create public or private boards to share with clients that fit their individual needs. Once a board has been shared, IdealEstate makes it easy easier than ever before to collaborate with your clients. For non-agent professionals sharing boards is a great way to support the agents you work with. The more homes you share the more value you will deliver to your partners.

IdealEstate is the first Real Estate portal and referral network dedicated to supporting agents and their many professional partners. This means that we recognize the value that agents bring to their clients and so unlike many other portals who have tried to eliminate agents from the home buying process, we are committed to only building products that will empower agents and their partners.

Real Estate is all about networking and as a non-agent professional many of your best referrals come from the agents you work with. IdealEstate has created a large network to help you meet and connect with more talented agents in your area or nationwide. We have designed our dashboard and preferred features to help you connect with the professional partners who can help you get ahead.

A lead is a cold introduction to a potential business opportunity. A referral is a warm introduction to a potential business opportunity. Most real estate professionals agree that one warm referral is worth many times more than a cold lead. On IdealEstate you are able to easily identify and connect with more warm referrals through your IdealEstate Network.

The best way to increase your potential referrals and business opportunities is to connect with your professional partners. Every professional partner you invite or connect with on IdealEstate will help increase your business opportunities.

While this number can vary based on your personal needs, many professionals see the value in upgrading to IdealEstate Preferred when their IdealEstate network has connected them with least 10 potential business opportunities. Cold Leads from other real estate portals can cost anywhere from $20 to $225 a lead. Compared to these solutions, IdealEstate Preferred is an efficient and affordable way to connect with quality opportunities. Preferred includes a variety of powerful features to help you unlock the power of your network and assist you in gaining insight into the competition in your area.

Referrals are opportunities presented to you through the common connections you make on IdealEstate.

No, IdealEstate does not sell your information to third parties and we do not allow other competing professionals to advertise on your profile or on your listings. We believe in empowering all real estate professionals, therefore, the data you generate belongs to you.

You should invite any professional that you work with and trust regardless of their location. In the real estate industry some of the best opportunities and referrals come from your professional partners. We have designed IdealEstate to help you unlock the power of this network so that you no longer have to wait for referrals to come to you. The more types of professional partners your connect with nationwide, the more opportunities you will create.

We recommend sharing your IdealEstate profile often and we hope it will become the only business card you will ever need.
