What are some helpful facets of technology you can share with us today?
I am constantly working, and don't have time to waste on things that don't function efficiently for my clients or my team. When I think of using futuristic gadgetry, I envision things that are simple and uncomplicated, yet flexible and powerful enough to perform the way they promote themselves and to fit in with my high-performance lifestyle. There are many, many apps and websites out there to choose from, and I wanted to share the ones that my team and I utilize. Today, I want to discuss the websites.
What are great websites for buyers?
The Multiple Listing Service, or MLS, is accessibly only Realtors, but there are other websites that pull directly from the MLS using what is called an IDX feed, such as Realtor.com and Homes.com. When people think of online websites, typically the first ones pop up are Trulia and Zillow, being two of the most popular sites out there. If I didn't say what great exposure they can be for sellers and prospective for buyers, I would be lying. However, these are often terribly inaccurate; know that you can always call our team for up-to-the-minute accurate information on homes. As a buyer, we can set up an up-to-the-minute, personalized portal of homes available straight to your inbox for FREE.
What do you have for sellers?
For our clients, we utilize an electronic signature system which you have heard of, Docusign, so that no matter where you are, we can have you sign an offer (or Counter Offer) within minutes. There is also my Listing Manager's favourite: ShowingSuite.com, that is linked to the lockbox in place on your home. Every time that lockbox is opened, it sends an email informing you, as well as our team, about the showing, and when the showing agent's feedback is submitted, it's sent unedited to our seller's email. My personal favourite is one that only those under the Prudential umbrella can use, what we call the Listing Activity Report. Every week, we send a personalized comparative market analysis, showing how many people have searched for your home, how many homes in your area just came on the market, amongst other helpful information. This is a sample of the technology that we offer our clients, and I will report on other application in the future.
