While we do have some recommended and popularly used options for you to choose from, there is flexibility around these so please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Representative.

You will notice on the Marketplace tile as well as the Premium Website Template order form that there are additional à la carte options that can be purchased with or without a Premium Website Template.

Whether you are looking for a way to supercharge your default kvCORE website template or want to enhance your personalized Premium Website Template, custom website widgets can bring a fresh facelift to your online presence and help you capture more leads.

Website widgets include the below options:

You can purchase one or more at a time by logging into your kvCORE account and clicking on the Marketplace tab from the main navigation on the left-hand side.

There are two types of featured area widgets that are available for purchase:

The most popular widget is the featured area tiles section. This allows you to choose up to 9 individual areas that you specialize in and spotlight them on your website's home page.

The tiles' design can be customized along with the areas, so please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

In order to create these, you must build each area link that the tile redirects a visitor to when clicked on.

To learn more about creating these links please watch this video:

Another easy way to bring attention to an area you specialize in is to feature it by itself on your homepage. This area can be used to feature a specific city, neighborhood, or zip code.

Alternatively, you could feature specific listings in this area like Open Houses and Most or Least Expensive listings, etc..

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

This handy little chat widget replaces the default Facebook Messenger chat widget in the bottom right corner of your kvCORE website, but instead of staying on your home page, it will actually follow visitors around as they click on each web page!

It displays your profile image, contact information, social media links, and common search links along with a few other options.

This is another easy way to capture lead information since it asks visitors to log into their account on your website and if they do not already have one they will be asked to register in order to gain access to further functionality, like saving favorite properties.

The second most popular widget add-on is the calls to action section. While your Professional Services Team Representative will have some default suggestions, these action areas can really consist of anything you would like.

Commonly used calls to action include featuring your mortgage lender, recruiting agents to your team, and seller valuations.

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

A mortgage calculator widget is always a good addition to any real estate website and you have two options to choose from with this Marketplace Add-on.

Modern and Compact

The widget will be built into a Custom Page and added to the top navigation bar of your website as an additional tab.

This interactive sliding widget allows you to choose up to six vertically skinny images and link them to another page, commonly used as a listing type spotlight.

Because this can be heavily customized please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

If you have a team and would like to feature all your agents then this nifty slider will offer you a lot of flexibility when doing so.

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.
