LogicClassroom Announcement: Leveraging Sequoia for Success!
Have you noticed the major Sequoia feature upgrades during the past few months? Join us for our next LogicClassroom, where we'll take you on a tour of the most powerful and popular features of the system!
Boston Logic always updates its real estate web site design software to keep real estate brokerages and agents ahead of the online curve. Last December, we launched our new CRM component to track and manage leads and workflow within the Sequoia platform.
We'll take a look at some quick tips for using the CRM component, as well as some time saving, day-to-day tools for interacting with your clients. We'll also take a look at how the information uploaded to the platform could be used to get real time data about how your brokerages is performing, where your leads are coming from, and what is happening to those leads after your agents receive them.
We also launched a new feature for our Content Management System (CMS) called Sidebar Widgets. We'll show you how to use the Sidebar Widgets tool to customize your site even further, giving your users the most comfortable and enjoyable online experience possible.
Learn these handy tips for getting the most out of your Sequoia software from Boston Logic on March 8th at 5pm!
You are welcome to attend at the Boston Logic Office (view map) or participate through an online webinar at your convenience.
To attend, please contact Katrina at 617.266.9166 or by email at ksierant@bostonlogic.com. Please specify whether you will attend the class at our office or online.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Client Testimonial: Ryan Shilow
We recently launched a new site on our Sequoia real estate solution platform, www.reshilowinc.com. The broker, Ryan Shilow, provided us with a great testimonial for our product, so we thought we'd pass it along!
“I think that this website is revolutionary, and the quality of service is excellent. Upgrading to the Sequoia platform is by far one of the best investments I have ever made for my real estate business, because it is the best system while still keeping it simple. Other competitors try to cater to every real estate niche, where with Sequoia, by keeping the program simple, you allow the realtor to make the niche.
I also love how the CRM is integrated as part of your website. With Sequoia, you have a one-stop-shop, because when you are managing your clients, you are also working on your website. I considered a few other options and quotes from competitors, but I am happy with Boston Logic’s high product quality, and all-in-one package where I didn’t need to build everything from the ground up.
Lastly, my favorite feature of the platform would have to be the 100% MLS integration with my website. This allows my client to be the realtor; they can search properties and get information without the back and forth hassle with getting clients information from MLS. The whole process is more streamlined, and I can also see what my clients are doing and what properties they are looking at. This an excellent system with a great support staff working behind the scenes. Awesome product!”
- Ryan Shilow, Broker for RE Shilow Realty
