DoorFly.com: Cool Technology for Real Estate Agents

Adam and Kimberly Small, owners of Connective Mobile, offer a new communication tool for real estate agents.

What is Connective Mobile?
Connective Mobile uses the latest voice and text technologies to help real estate agents reach potential home buyers.

Their software is an innovative lead generation tool that utilizes both text messaging and hosted toll free numbers to ensure that home information is always available to prospective buyers.

How does it work?
Agents use a web-based interface to create messages that are automatically turned into text messages and voice messages (for the 800 number) when potential home buyers text the advertised number for more information about a home.

Key Features:

Immediate response to customer inquiries.
Online reporting including usage statistics and contact
information of leads.
Automated weekly reports delivered by email.
Easy to use online web portal providing sophisticated mobile marketing account management.

For example:
A young couple drives around on Sunday morning looking for a new home. They pass many ‘for sale’ signs and call the agent numbers listed on the sign. When the agent is not available, they leave a message or hang up == A potentially lost client. When/if the agent calls back, the couple has likely moved on or does not remember exactly which house they called about. If there is a flyer at the home, they jump out of the car and grab it. However, it is a digital world and most young home buyers prefer using the Internet and phone text messaging for communication.

These are not issues with Connective Mobile. The same couple drives by a home advertised with Connective Mobile. They ‘text’ the number on the sign and all home information is automatically sent to them on their phone. It is like a phone brochure and stored for them to look back later. Also, the real estate agent now has their phone number from their opted in request and can send follow up text messages about the home for sale. If the home buyer prefers to call the 800 number on the sign, a voice message is already set up to describe all details of the home.

Adam Small says their services is “about using the preferred communication method of potential new clients.” Kimberly mentions a newly added service for realtors — virtual tours to accompany the text messages.

Why should realtors use Connective Mobile?
“39% of home sales are first time home buyers and 65% of first time home buyers are between the ages of 18-35 representing the Gen X and Gen Y groups. These busy professionals are happier with sending one or two lines via text messaging rather than spending several minutes on the phone.” According to the National Association of Realtors.

Fun Facts

In June 2007, 28.8 Billion text messages were sent.
This is 4 times the amount sent in June 2005.
One third of all cell phone users send and receive text messages on a regular basis.
The number of wireless subscribers in the US is now over 255 Million.
