The following tutorial will explain how to add a floating live chat window to your RealBird listing presentation. Using the live chat functionality, you can turn your single property website into a "virtual open house" and connect with your visitors real-time. 

This example uses Purechat for the live chat functionality, but you can add other widget codes to this section of your listing website. Several chat plugins are available, some for free others for a fee - search for " online chat tools" with Google or see http://www.capterra.com/live-chat-software.
Note please that RealBird cannot guarantee that any of these chat tools will be compatible with the RealBird service; nor can we provide support for a third party service.
