4. Search Demands and Matching
A property will never find a customer by itself. The GO3! Software will support you to find the right property for
your search clients and vice versa.
In order to secure every pot will find its lid, there is a need to create demands. With the demands of a client
matching those of a property, a wonderful relationship is likely to start. This function is called matching.
Creating Demands
Demands can be created for contact category search client only!
Demands deal with a special kind of authorization. You may create a search demand for and assign to any search
client of the database.
Just create a demand by clicking the Demands tab in a search client‟s detail view:
In order to create a new demand click the icon “New Demand” within the Search Demands tab of your search
client.
The content of the demand is entered into the next window.
Note: The mandatory field “Expiration Date” must not be changed manually. It is set to half a year from today by
default. Every time you complete an action that is linked with a contact who has one ore more demands created by
you, the expiration date will be changed – to the date “half a year from today”.
Note: If you create an action for a colleague, only “his” demands will be extended.
Those changes will avoid demands expiring when taking care actively of your search clients.
www.engelvoelkers.com
After having saved your demand, it will be displayed in the search demands of your contact. If you want to see
matching properties immediately, you can start the matching process right now. However, you can of course
continue with the matching process later if you like.
www.engelvoelkers.com
Matching
Select the demand you want to match and then click “Start Search
The following list shows all matching properties. You can now select those property, you want to offer your search
client.
Hint: By switching the view to “Thumbnail” you may get a better impression of the properties.
You will now see the selected properties stated below in the search demands window. From this window you can
create actions quickly and easily. Just select the property and then click the respective icon in the menu bar.
www.engelvoelkers.com
After booking an action resp. sending an exposé, the status of the Matching will change to “Proposed”.
If you want to change the status manually, you can do so by clicking
www.engelvoelkers.com
You can filter the displayed properties by opening the “Filter” and then selecting the status:
Adding properties manually
You may want to add further properties manually, e.g. if you know there is a property that can be of interest even
though it does not match the search demand.
Select a demand, then click “Add Manually” and follow the search process. By assigning the properties to existing
demands you can avoid to miss them.
Select the favoured properties in order to add them to the matching list:
Properties that were added manually are displayed italic.
You will find all matching properties when clicking the button “Start Search”.
www.engelvoelkers.com
Checking for new Properties
New properties are added to your database frequently. In order to check if any new matching properties were
entered since you last checked the search demands, just click the button “Check for new properties”
All matching properties will still be displayed when clicking “Start Search”.
Matching
Having created the demands you can also see from the properties‟ view to which client would probably match the
property. To do so, call a property and open the detail view. Now click matching in order to look up the clients
matching the search demands of the property data:
The resulting list may be specifically browsed for names or A,B,C. Subsequently, click Search for limiting the list
view.
Users having an office manager authorization can further filter the view choosing either All or My Demands.
Agents will by default settings see only contacts carrying a demand created by the Agent.
You may tag the contact in this view and create additional actions by the icons situated above.
www.engelvoelkers.com
5. Actions
GO!3 offers a variety of actions that can be used for contacts and properties. Those actions are based upon the
actions that are carried out every day.
The easiest way is to book the action directly from the matching tab (either form the search demands of a contact or
the menu “Matching” of a property).
Select the data set you want to book an action for and then click the respective icon in order to create the action.
Note: When matching within a contact’s Search
Demands tab you can only book actions if search demand
and property are “created for” you.
However, you can of course book actions with all contacts
and properties when starting from the properties or contacts.
You can also create action directly from the details of a
contact or property (tab “Actions”). You will then have to
link the property or contact manually.
Action Types
There are following appointments in GO!3:
An appointment can be created without linking a contact or property.
For a Viewing, you will have to link one contact to one or several properties or projects.
For an Open House, you may select one or several contacts but link to a single property only.
www.engelvoelkers.com
Following “sub-types“ can be used for “Appointments“
Valuation Appointment with the seller in the property itself
Notary Appointment once a sale has been closed successfully
Miscellaneaous
Price Modification Appointment with the owner in the property itself
Listing Presentation Appointment with the owner in the Shop
Tasks
You can use following tasks in GO!3:
Action type Usage
Active Buyer Contact Activity with a buyer with concrete result(s), e.g. weekly calls, call after
viewing, listing presentation with the owner in the shop
Active Seller Contact Activity with a seller which leads to concrete result(s), e.g. meeting in the

Miscellaneous
Action status
Actions may have following statuses:
Open
The action was planned but not completed yet (e.g. an upcoming
appointment).
Open actions can be displayed as deleted and undeleted if needed.
You can add feedback to open viewings, before completing them.
Completed
As soon as an action is completed or the appointment took place, the status
shall be changed into “completed”.
Completed actions cannot be displayed as deleted.
Feedback of completed viewings cannot be changed anymore.
Cancelled
Cancelled actions can be edited or labelled as deleted. Thus you could for
example cancel an appointment and change the status into “Open“ again once
a new appointment was found.
www.engelvoelkers.com
Viewings
A viewing always takes place with one contact and one or more properties.
As long as the viewing status is “Open“ you can add feedback for this viewing. Once the status is set “Completed“
you cannot add feedback anymore.
The given feedback for the viewing is inserted automatically when sending a viewing report.
Thus, the feedback serves two purposes:
You can send your feedback to the owner automatically and you generate a precise picture of the search clients‟
demands. Thus you will be able to offer a high level of service.
6. Internet Profiles
It is possible to create internet profiles for each property. Those profiles can be published on the E&V Homepage,
your subdomain and further portals. You can create as many profiles as you want for each property.
Please find following an instruction on how to create an internet profile:
To create an internet profile open the property. Click on the button “Internet Profiles” and then click the icon
“New”.
Some information that was entered fort he property are already being adopted into the profile.
Fill out the other fields or change them if necessary.
As soon as having added a description for one language, the same field appears another time. Thus you can create
the description in several languages, too. If the fields were filled out in the Marketing section of the property, the
description will be inserted automatically. The customer will then be able to read the description in different
languages when switching the site language i.e. on the E&V Website.
At the end of the edit screen, you can select the portals you would like to publish the property on („Others‟ is
shown for technical reasons and has no functionality here). You may select several portals to upload to different
portals at once:
www.engelvoelkers.com
Note: You may create several profiles for a property if you want and thus are able to have i.e. different descriptions
for the portals you will upload the profile to. This could be useful if you know about the special characteristics of
the target groups generally using the website. You can also copy existing profiles, edit the text and select only the
portal(s) where you would like to publish to.
Complete the process by clicking Save and Close.
Usually the profiles will be online within a short time delay on the E&V Website. The other portals will be updated
each night (German Time).
The internet profile is now being saved and will be opened in the detail view, tab „Photo Manager‟, within
„Profiles‟ menu (sales or letting depending on property type).
All photos that were uploaded when creating the property, are displayed in the Photo Manager. Chose the pictures
which you would like to publish on the portal(s) by checking the box in front of each picture. Click „Select All‟ to
choose all pictures to appear on the website(s).
www.engelvoelkers.com
Use the arrow to move selected picture to the website or to remove them from the website i.e. for existing
properties.
To order the pictures on the websites you can use the checkboxes and move the pictures up- or downwards. The top
picture will be the first to be seen on the website, the others will be next.
Make sure to repeat selection for all types of pictures (Floorplan, Sitemaps). The clients will then be able to select
the different picture types on the website as well. To see also different picture types uploaded, use the Photo
Container dropdown above.
www.engelvoelkers.com
Land Register Map will not be used in Residential.
Click Save & Close to finish. You will be forwarded back to the Property Details and see the profile.
Within the Internet Profiles Tab (Property Details) or Internet Profiles Menu (Navigation bar) you can open the
details of an internet profile, edit, copy or delete profiles.
Property Details Navigation bar
NOTE: Several fields will be directly taken from the property details and be sent to the website without being
editable displayed in the internet profile.
After creating the profile, you can see which fields will be transferred to each website. To do so, open a profile in
detail view and select the portal you wish to receive the information about:
www.engelvoelkers.com
All shown fields are transferred to the corresponding website. Fields with a red star in front are mandatory.
If those are not filled, the property will not be published!
Deleting Internet Profiles
To delete a profile from a website, open the profile in edit mode and uncheck the portal box(es).
You can also delete a profile in GO!3 by clicking . It will still be in your database, though, but is hidden per
default from the Internet Profiles Browse view. By searching also for deleted profiles, you can review deleted
profiles and also undelete if necessary:
