What is the Leads Management
System?
When buyers are looking to purchase a home
they locate a real estate firm that has the best product and services
available. With our exclusive technology, agents and leads management
assistants can match buyers to other comparable homes in their
price range faster and easier than ever before. Because most buyers
are not ready to purchase immediately, the leads management contact
system develops a strategic marketing follow up plan that keep
A (buyers that buy within 30-45 days), and B (buyers that buy
in 45-90 days) and C (buyers that buy in 90-120 days) that keep
A, B, and C buyers by automatically sending to the buyers continuous
updates of available properties in the buyers price range.
The customer service department
also offers other services that keeps buyers working with our
agents. The technology provides easy screens that assist in the
pre-qualifying process, the current market analysis, the showing
appointment and relocation services.
Automatic memos and letters
keep lines of communications open between the buyer and agent
until the customer is ready to purchase. With this new technology,
exposing buyers to the right properties and services is a strategy
to selling them a home. And with our technology our agents will
sell more homes faster than ever before. When a seller wants to
sell a property, the seller locates the agent and company that
has many buyers interested in their home. By registering our buyer
calls and follow up, our agents will begin to find many buyers
who can purchase the sellers home from our 30,000 plus customer
database. In fact our technology allows our agents and leads management
assistants to contact over 500 potential buyers a week, maximizing
your homes exposure.
What is the Seller Feedback
System?
Sellers always want to know why their property has not sold and
what customers are saying about their home. In the past providing
feedback to the seller has been difficult to obtain. Many agents
can spend a lot of dollars in unproductive time searching for
the answers. With exclusive feedback technology used by our customer
service department, not only will the seller and agent know what
other professional agents and buyers are saying about your home,
the feedback coordinator will even graph and rank the showing
agents and buyers remarks. Through a partnership the listing agent
and company are empowered with the knowledge to keep the marketing
of the listing on track for a successful sale.
Sellers receive a monthly
progress report which will include a cover letter, comment page,
graph and overall property ranking based on price, condition and
location. The report assists the agent and the seller to better
determine the homes strengths and weakness. The agent can market
the home easier because the agent has the information to validate
their recommendations.
Because our agents can decrease
the list to contract timeframe, our sellers are more willing to
listen and act by providing them with accurate feedback information.
Most importantly the feedback technology empowers our agents and
company to professionally assist all outside agents who contact
our firm enhancing the process by all parties involved. The primary
function of each of these departments, is to assist and support
our agents, buyers and sellers. Delivering services better than
expected.
