When you hear realtor and technology in the same sentence, the first thing that probably comes to mind is listings management or 360 degree views of those listings. But really, there’s a whole lot more out there, from helping clients understand what they’re looking for even when they aren’t sure to complete client insight in one easy to use place. Here are just three...
Curb Call – Being Available When the Time is Right
Curb Call is an exciting app that connects realtors with potential buyers right at the perfect time. Buyers looking in the area for a home will typically start by searching online. If they find a couple that look like something they might be interested, they‘ll likely drive by, check out the area and get a glimpse of the house. But in order to get a real showing, they’ll probably have to wait for days. They‘ll have to get in touch with the realtor. Then they’ll have to make the appointment to meet them at a time when they’re both available.
When a buyer makes that call to try to get an appointment to see the house... that’s when you want to be showing it. That’s when their excitement is soaring high. But what can you do? You can’t be available to everyone all the time. And when you are available, potential buyers in the area may never know it. Curb Call fixes that.
Just open up the app, select your status as “available for showings”. Now when a potential buyer sees a house they wanna see, they open the app and can instantly see who’s available to come show them the house.
DoorSteps Swipe - What’s the Buyer Looking For?
Many people searching for a home, especially if they’ve just started searching or are a first time buyer, won’t know exactly what they’re looking for in a house. That makes your job as a realtor even tougher. How can you help someone find the perfect home if they don’t know what they want or need? That’s where Door Steps Swipe comes in.
First you both need to install the app. They can sift through listings on the app itself and “like” the ones that they might be interested in. Over time, what they really want becomes more evident. It shows whether they tend to “like” listings with more bedrooms, in a certain location, within a certain price range and other details that give you insight to what listings they'd probably want to see.
