A follow-up has a date and a reason, such as a second showing. It becomes a To-do with an email reminder. Follow-ups lists every open one, with the overdue ones first.

Buyers and sellers book a call or a visit at the times you are free.

Meetings gives you a page where people book time with you. You choose the kinds of meeting, from 15 minutes to 2 hours, and your weekly hours. Times busy in Google Calendar are not offered.

Each booking adds the meeting to your calendar. With Zoom connected, a call gets its own Zoom link. You can email someone your page for one kind of meeting, such as a listing appointment.

Offers and disclosure forms go out as PDFs, and come back signed.

E-Signatures sends a PDF you already use, such as a listing agreement, to sign. You place each signer's signature, initials and date fields. They can sign in any order, or one after another.

Unsigned signers get a reminder every 3 or 7 days. When everyone has signed, Magpie will email them the signed PDF and a certificate of completion.

Each listing gets a page on your own website, and you change it yourself.

Websites gives you a site of up to 50 pages, built from sections. A listing's page can hold its photos, the list price and the open house times. When it sells, you change the page or take it down.

Publishing puts the changes online at once, and each version is kept. The site can be at your own domain.

  5. The offer

    You send the offer as a PDF to sign. It is listed on the buyer's contact page once it is signed.

  6. After the sale

    The QR code can then point to your next listing. The buyer can sign up for your newsletter.
