Your Assistance Requested
This is a notice to all MLS/Associations that Point2 requires your assistance as we re-launch the newly updated Syndication platform across your membership.
As part of the upgrades and improvement to the Point2 syndication controls outlined earlier this quarter, Point2 will be providing all members who activate their Point2 Dashboard with a limited time, exclusive Point2 Agent Professional subscription . (Watch for more information on this within the coming weeks).
With this limited time enhancement, all of your members will continue to receive the same level of complimentary syndication services through your partnership with Point2, in addition to the tools available through the Point2 Agent Professional subscription. Some of these tools include enhanced and comprehensive statistics, detailed prospect reports, and integrated CRM tools.
After the complimentary limited time trial concludes, your members will have the option to subscribe to the full Professional package or reduce their services to the complimentary syndication services available through your partnership with Point2.
Transition to the new and improved platform is currently underway, however Point2 requires the assistance of MLS and Associations with the accuracy of your data feeds to ensure that your members are able to take advantage of their syndication controls and exclusive, upgraded, Point2 services.
Please contact your Point2 Account Executive in order to perform an audit of your data feed as we prepare for the launch of updated services across your membership.

Hope to see you online soon!

Introducing the Point2 Agent Rewards Program
October saw the launch of our new Point2 Agent Rewards Program. What is it you ask? Let us first be clear that this program is not intended for real estate consumers.
The Point2 Agent Rewards Program is for real estate professionals. It allows existing Point2 Agent users to refer their colleauges to our service and by doing so, earn free months off their own subscription when their colleauges sign up. Not only that, but their colleauges receive a $50 discount on their own new Point2 Agent subscription.
Word of mouth is the best form of advertising and we're hoping this program is a great success. Read the additional details on www.Point2AgentBlog.com .
