Text Messaging to Sell Homes
Success in the real estate business, especially residential, is all about attracting buyers and sellers in unique ways.
Introducing a text based lead generation system for the benefit of buyers and sellers alike is a great way to engage your clients through a new use of common technology.
In our local Fort Worth market, we are of only a few real estate firms utilizing this technology.
Text-based advertising is still a relatively new approach so it may be the same for your market.
It is just another technology extra that we provide as part of a comprehensive marketing program.
The text based system is made possible by a partnership with a local provider, Mobi AdConcepts.
There are many providers throughout the United States that provide, so look for one near you.
It is usable by any buyer prospect with text capability on their phone.
How it works is each listing that we represent gets a rider sign on their for sale sign with a text code.
The buyer prospect can text the code, ACR1 for example, to 95495 and are sent via text the basic home information within ten seconds.
The listing agent is also notified within ten seconds and can follow up on the prospect and offer more information.
This gives the sellers of our Fort Worth Homes an advantage.
Many buyers will not call a number on a sign simply because they do not want to talk to an agent or are in a hurry.
This gives them the ability to get the information they need immediately and then they can set an appointment.
Our website address is also on all of our signs so prospects can write that down and later look at virtual tours of all our listings.
Make sure that you work with your technology provider.
Real Estate agents and firm may be great at selling homes and helping our buyers find their dream house, but when it comes to technology, let the experts do their jobs.
There are text messaging systems out there are more of a do-it-yourself style and there are others that manage it for you.
Of course there are price differences, but if you can, opt for the managed.
They'll help you craft your messages and more importantly help you understand the types of people that use this technology commonly and what they're looking for in terms of experience and communication.
