softRealty.com is “Hatching” a New Brand
You heard it right. We are officially changing our brand (name, logo, tag lines, etc.).
Why we are making the change:
- We have outgrown our current brand
- We are going to be adding new offerings (like Agent Websites) and our messaging needs to be redefined
- Sometimes people confuse softRealty as being a real estate brokerage (we have a list of leads if anyone is interested, j/k)
_____________________________
When we are making the change:
We will officially “hatch” the new brand on April 1st (No, its not an April Fools Prank) but we will be displaying our new brand at REtech South – March 25th-26th at the Gwinnett Center in Atlanta, Ga. If you are interested in attending this tremendous technology conference, we will be there as a sponsor as well as speaking on the following topics:
Understanding IDX: What, Why, Where, How
and
It’s Not Who They Are, It’s What They Do

How it will affect our current users:
If you are an existing subscriber, you will be excited to learn that you will have full access to all of the new features and offerings to be released.

What will the new brand look like?
Stay tuned to our Tweets, Facebook Page and this blog as we reveal more and more about the new brand:
Setup Resize Functionality for Property Search iFrame
Our Property Search plugin is embedded in agent websites using IFRAMES. We’ve addressed a common problem with IFRAMES so the IFRAME height will automatically adjust to match the height of the inner property search page. This solution may not work for all web hosting solutions.
Website Settings Instructions
1. Go to Website Settings
2. Create a new Website Setting or work with an existing one:
* The following items explain the different settings to complete:
[websitename]: This is an arbitrary name to identify the site or page the setting applies to.
[homepage url]: Add [http://] then, add your website domain in which the property search will be found.
- Example: http://www.joerealtor.com
[website idx url]:This is the full website address pointing to the page containing the property search iframe.
- NOTE: [http://] must be included with the link.
- Example: http://www.joerealtor.com/property-search/
- NOTE: This setting must be correctly setup for “Link to this page” functionality to work.
[unique website path]: This is the unique name to be used in the iFrame src value for this specific website setting.
- Example: “sallyagent” and
<iFrame src=”http://sallyagent.search.softrealty.com/Start/“></frame>
IFrame Setup Instructions
1. First, complete the steps in Website Settings Instructions.
2. Locate your [unique website path] to be used with your iFrame.
* See Website Settings Instructions for more information.
3. Add [/Start/] at the end of the iFrame URL as seen highlighted below.
http://[unique website path setting].search.softRealty.com/Start/
4. Add the following script to the page that will contain the embedded property search.
<iframe width="805" scrolling="no" height="745" frameborder="0" align="center" id="search_iframe" src="http://[unique website path setting].search.softRealty.com/Start/"></iframe>
* NOTE: Depending on your web host, this script can be added to your web page in various different ways. Likewise, it may not be possible to add an IFRAME. Please check with your web hosting provider for more information.
softRealty.com presents Inman Connect NYC 2010 – “Outside the Sessions”
Inman Connect NYC 2010 Recap
Inman Connect was held in the great state of New York this year. The conference started on Wednesday morning and wrapped up on Friday around noon. The conference consisted of Workshops, Keynotes, Panels, Sponsored Intensives, Innovation Tracks and much more.
We had the great honor of featuring our CEO, David Carroll, as a speaker on the topic of “How to Make Leads and Influence People”. David did a phenomenal job alongside Mitch Ribak and Paul Zweben (both prominent brokers with different approaches to Capturing Leads). We were also presenting in Startup Alley as one of the 14 exhibitors to showcase their new technology.
“Outside the Sessions”
As we grow as a company and create relationships with an array of agents, brokers and technology companies, we have a lot of interesting conversations “Outside the Sessions”. The following list showcases the people we talked to at Inman Connect NYC 2010 and explains a little about why we like these folks.

Reggie is the Director of Social Media at Realtors Property Resource (RPR). With so much buzz about RPR, we wanted to chat with Reggie and ask him “what is RPR?”. There are tons of details about RPR but the major idea is that realtors will have an extremely accurate resource to access when looking up property data for their clients. View Website
Tony Lazzari with Ryan Hill Realty
Tony is a forward thinking real estate agent from the Naper Hill, Illinois area. He shared with us his thoughts on Inman and why he attends.
Inman Takeaways
The most important aspect of business is creating and cultivating relationships (IMHO). Inman Connect NYC 2010 was a great opportunity to continue that aspect of business. Even though this is a prominent technology conference, what stands out to me more than anything else is the networking that takes place.
