CartoFront FAQs

CartoFront is a FREE application that simplifies flood insurance for REALTORS®. 

• On the buy side, agents can guide clients to houses that have the greatest potential of becoming home, while maintaining and growing their value.
• On the sell side, agents can proactively understand what questions may come up from potential buyers. 

CartoFront’s goal is to put you in a position to be a star … and be the most knowledgeable, confident and profitable REALTOR® in your market.  

CartoFront is integrated directly into Matrix next to each ML Listing #.  Just look for ‘the raindrop’  and click to request flood zone determination and estimated flood insurance quotes.  Each time you request a quote, you will open a new browser window -- so you can compare multiple properties at one time while never leaving the Matrix system

Yes.  At the top of the application, agents can choose English or Spanish.

There are two ways the agent can present the CartoFront flood insurance information:

• Email
• Print PDF

The agent clicks “Add New Contact” bar and is required to enter the following information:

• First, Last Name
• Client email
• Client phone number (optional)

Once the agent has added a new contact, an electronic file is created.  The agent then clicks to send email, and can choose their clients name from a list of names to send the email.  

Once the client is added to the CartoFront system, the agent can click on the ‘For’ box to select their clients name from a list of names to send an email.  Once selected, click ‘Email Quote’ button.  At that moment, a confirmation box will be presented confirming the ‘To’ email address.  Once the information is correct, click ‘Send.’  On the receiving end, the client receives an email from quotes@cartofront.com with the subject line: Flood Insurance Options - 1234 Property Address Drive (customize for the actual property address requested)

All client emails are copied to two people:

• To the agent, so that they have an electronic copy of the communication for their client records.

• Local insurance agent Anabella Loretta of Acadian Managers.  As part of the free service, CartoFront has partnered with a local, bilingual insurance agency to support, counsel, bind flood insurance policies.
