PYH clients have the ability to build a tour and sponsor it for the prospective client. As a added function, when the perspective client becomes a client of the agent, the agent unchecks the s"Sponsorship" checkbox to display the agents contact information in the sponsored tour.
19. What do you mean by “Sponsor a Perspective Client”?
PYH has created a sponsorship program which enables clients to create a virtual tour of a home without using their branded interface. All of the functionality is still available while the interface displays the Real Estate professional’s name and agency as the sponsor of the tour.
No, once the virtual tour has been created for the "Sponsored Tour" , the PYH client/agent can transfer all the information to their branded interface by unchecking the sponsored check box located under the orange tab labeled "General" of the specific listing.
21. Can I email a link to a virtual tour to somebody?
