A bit of humor to kick things off…
New Developments
New Android App
We just released a brand new UtahRealEstate.com Android app. It fixes the issues on the
old app that our users reported. The app has also been given a new look and feel that we
think you will love! It works for both Android tablets and phones.
Technical note: Since this is a new app, you will need to delete your old app off of your
mobile device before you install the new one.
After removing your old app, search for “UtahRealEstate.com” in your Google Play Store
to download the new one.
New Developments
Share with iOS Mobile
The latest version of our Apple
Mobile App includes the new social
sharing button that allows users to
share a listing on Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, via email, or by text.
IDX vs Syndication
We’re often asked, “What is the difference between IDX and
Syndication?”
• IDX services are an easy way to allow the public to search and
view active properties on your website.
• Syndication allows brokerages to display their listings on
national and 3rd party consumer portals.
Tech Tip: Problems saving PDF files
in Google Chrome
Have you had this error?
Chrome recently changed its
settings to use its own
PDF viewer instead of Adobe Reader.
To change it back so that PDFs work again, follow these steps:
1.
Open a new tab or window in Chrome, and type
about:plugins in the address bar.
2.
Scroll down and disable the Chrome PDF Viewer.
3.
Then, scroll down and Enable the Adobe Reader
plugin, and put a check next to Always Allowed.
4.
Close the plugins tab and try saving the PDF again
