Real Estate One's 1st to Know Program, A Year Later

A little over a year ago The Real Estate One Family of Companies rolled out a new program called "1st to Know".  This program offers email, text and toll free capabilities to the public for access to up to the minute information on real estate listed by REALTORS in the state of Michigan. While some of the technology may be advanced for the average home hunter, the uses are limitless to have this kind of tool at our fingertips...For the public as well as the  real estate professional.

I'd like to break down the program into parts and explain each:
  • Email
  • Text
  • Toll Free Call
  • Mobile Web
1st to Know Email is a service that searches properties from any companies in all Michigan Multiple Listing Services.  By visiting the website you can sign yourself up for the service for free and create your own searches.  You will be notified of properties matching your searches by email as often as you choose.  In addition to property searches you can also save favorite listings, make notes on listings, rate properties and set price trackers to be notified of reductions when they happen!

1st to Know Text is for SMS/MMS enabled phones.  You can text the word MYINFO to 59559 and follow the instructions to retrieve instant information on any home listed by a Realtor in the state of Michigan.  It is like having the MLS in the palm of your hand. Standard text rates apply.

1st to Know Phone enables anyone with a cell phone to listen to details about any home and receive text messages and pictures. Dial 800-840-5555 -- Press 1 -- Enter the HOUSE NUMBER.

1st to Know Mobile offers http://www.mihome.mobi/.  A mobile home search website for handheld devices.  Also offered are apps for the iPhone and Android.

These tools are unrivaled by their efficiency and offer solutions from the beginner to the advanced technology user.  When you sign up on our website, you may choose to connect your account with your Real Estate One Family agent so they can best serve you in your home search.  We are happy to offer these tools and many others to anyone interested in Michigan Real Estate.  Visit our website for full details: http://www.realestateone.com/.
