We are very excited to announce to you our FREE social media auto-posting services! Obeo now takes the hassle out of being social by automatically posting your new Obeo listings to your personal Facebook Wall, Twitter Feed and/or YouTube Video Channel.
This new service from Obeo will help you be more social and will instantly spread the word about your new listings. Obeo will even show you which websites sent you the most traffic on our detailed statistics reports.
To set this up, just visit your Obeo Members Area and tell us which websites you want your listings to go to. Once this is setup, we will automatically post your new listings for you as soon as the photos are uploaded. Here is a quick tutorial.
Another free upgrade we have added is the ability to link directly to your Facebook/Twitter page from the Obeo HomeSite tour. This will allow potential buyers that look at your listings to become your fan on Facebook or follow your posts on Twitter with a few clicks.
We have created a few webinars in the upcoming weeks to teach everyone about this new feature and how to better use social media in your marketing strategy. Click here to view our upcoming webinar schedule.
(PETERBOROUGH, Ontario) – Obeo, a leading provider of full-service residential real estate online marketing products in North America, is pleased to announce that Sutton Group Realty Services is endorsing the Obeo Solutions platform to Sutton Brokers and Sales Representatives throughout Canada.
The Obeo Team has just finished rebuilding the back-end engine that powers Obeo HomeSite. The new version of our core virtual tour viewer is twice as fast as the previous version! All of the sections of Obeo HomeSite have been optimized to load faster, download quicker and give you a better experience while looking at the online listing. Additional speed improvements have been made throughout the Obeo.com website. 
Another new feature with this upgrade is the full-screen theater mode! You can now sit back and watch a great presentation of the home, as the photos zoom & fade back and forth. You can now also advance the photos by using the back/next arrows inside the virtual tour. Simply click on the “Theater” button when looking at the virtual tour to see these new upgrades.
The new version of Obeo HomeSite has been optimized for all your social media linking. When you post your tour to Facebook, Twitter and other social media websites, you will now see a photo and description of the listing on your link/bookmark. These changes will help make your social media links stand out, and also improve your search engine rankings (SEO) on Google. Don’t forget to click the ‘Share’ button in the bottom-left corner of Obeo HomeSite, to quickly post your listings to dozens of social media websites!
Many of you may not realize, but Obeo HomeSite has a great feature to display the floor plan of the property. If you have a floor plan file and you would like to display it on the tour, you can go to your Obeo Members Area and upload that floor plan for FREE. When you do this, a new floor plan icon will appear on the main menu and users can view the floor plan of the property.
As most of you know, Obeo provides great statistics reports for your listings. These reports are available in your Obeo Members Area and they display detailed information on the daily traffic to your listings. We also have a report that shows you which websites are sending traffic to your tours. This tracking has now been improved, so you will see more websites listed in this area, instead of hits tracking as ‘Direct’. With this information, you will be able to see which websites are sending you the most traffic and where your advertising dollars are best being spent.
Obeo allows you to pick from hundreds of audio tracks and play them on the virtual tour at no cost. This background music (as well as any custom audio that could be purchased) will now play throughout the tour, no matter what section the user may be looking at. 
We have recently upgraded the quality and resolution of our 360-degree panoramas. The images now show more detail in every room and you can zoom into each photo for a closer look. This quality improvement applies to any recently photographed tour and all tours going forward.
