I’ve been asked to discuss an exciting new service that’s been made available to those who work in the real estate market. The name of the service, a nice play on words, is House4Cell. This service allows realtor’s to use mobile technology in order to market properties.
Those interested in a property will only have to text in a code that can easily be found on the “for sale” sign in front of a property and they’ll instantly get a message containing photos and information about the property.
As a homeowner, I think I would have liked having this technology available to me when I was searching for a home to purchase. As it was, when I did see a house that looked interesting I’d stop and write down the name of the realtor, as well as the website if it was listed and then go home and try to do some research on the internet. Now, however, if a realtor were using the House4Cell service I could get the information I wanted within a moment of texting the code into my cellphone.
There is a free demo of the service on the House4Cell website if you are interested in seeing how this new program works.
I’m sure this program will enable realtors to connect with interested buyers much more quickly and it might in fact increase their sales. As I said, when I was looking for a home to purchase I would have been happy to use such a service and I’m sure many of those who are reading this writeup would also find such a service to be helpful.
When a potential new client uses the text system to get information for a particular property, not only will they get information about the property and up to three photos, but they will also get fax numbers and email addresses so that they can request more information or perhaps even set up an appointment to view the property.
Realtors offering this service might actually get more leads to follow up on than their competitors who choose not to sign up with House4cell.
Plus, through this service you’ll be able to send “blast alerts” to homebuyers who have opted-in. Through these blast alerts you can let interested parties know of price-drops or other homes with similar features in the same area.
Inquiries can also be tracked online.
If you are a realtor think about checking out this new service. Rate plans start at $29.99 for three listings, which is only about $8 per property.
House4Cell is a sister company of Cellit Mobile Marketing. They make it easy for their clients to manage their mobile market campaigns.
For some reason, most realtors are stuck in the stone age. I am glad to see this.
Stopping by for Click and Comment Monday.
We have found a similar problem in Australia with text messaging in real estate. Simple and convenient for the end-user but agents not willing to think outside the square..Mainly due to the government spamming regulations passed in 07
