If you haven’t sent it yet, NOW is the time to send your Monthly Real Estate Report

Here’s HOW:
You will need to login at www.MyBHGGreenhouse.com….then:
1. Scroll down to The Print Marketing Center, click that,
2. Scroll down again to The Print Marketing Center > Go To Print Marketing Center. Click that. You are now in Xpressdocs in the Greenhouse.
3. To the left of the screen you will see PENDING ORDERS, click that
4. Your file will be listed - Agent Name/Subdivision MKt Rpt’> click PLACE to the left of the file name and proceed with the order.
Agents MUST ORDER THROUGH THEIR LOGIN in the Greenhouse so the BALANCE OF THE CHARGE is charged to their credit card – the company co-pay of 1/3 will automatically be deducted, but the agent MUST have a CREDIT CARD on file with Xpressdocs so the remaining charges can be paid for by the agent. (You CAN NOT USE the office admin login!)
Be sure to select UV COATING ON THE FRONT, there is no cost for that option on postcards and will keep your mail outs looking fresh!
I proofed the card and everything looked perfect, so you can proceed with the order. If you have any problems you can contact me OR use the LIVE CHAT button at the top right of your screen – they can look at your account WHILE you are in the Order process and work out any problems at the same time.
Please let me know if you have any questions..
