With major changes in the national housing market, estate agents are among those who have to find new ways of doing things, many of which who have already turned to FASTSMS. Estate agents have seen major benefits since incorporating SMS into their communications - helping them to coordinate their team by sending them appointment details by text as well as marketing their properties to prospective clients in a way that really gets them to take notice.
Coordinating staff directly from your PC
Communication is key to having an organised, effective and above all efficient sales force. With staff spending a lot of time tending to prospects, whether through scheduled viewings or consultations they need to make sure that they always know where they need to be and what they are doing.
With appointments being arranged and changed at short notice they need to be able to send their team (or often themselves) information such as name, address, file number and contact number and they need to be sure they get it - with SMS they enjoy a facility that is direct, concise and immediate going straight into the hands of their staff.
Effective marketing solutions from FASTSMS
SMS marketing is currently the most effective way of getting details of latest properties directly into the hands of prospective clients - offering redemption rates far greater than traditional advertising and promotions. Studies show that people are much more likely to read and respond to a text message than any other medium making it great for letting people when new properties come on the market.
The following are just some of the ways our estate agent customers are already using SMS to market their properties...

Campaigns: Clients text a property code to their system and the automatic reply contains details of that property (great to put on for sale signs or in the property pages)
-
Promotion: Text prospects about new properties, upcoming open days and special offers
-
Competitions: Gather opted-in subscribers for a mailing list for future SMS campaigns
