Thinking About Getting A Real Estate App?
Here are 10 reasons that might convince you it’s a great idea!
As a real estate agent, you know the importance of staying up-to-date on the latest trends. Mobile devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, and as such, it’s important to offer your customers more than just a website.
1.Real Estate Apps Improve the User Experience
Real estate apps like Zillow and Redfin are more user-friendly than their web versions. While having a real estate website is important, it doesn’t serve customers as well as an app when users are navigating from smartphones or tablets. Mobile sites aren’t always responsive and don’t connect to the phone’s internal components in the same way as an app.
2-Real Estate Mobile Apps Boost Engagement
In addition to an improved user experience, real estate apps are much better for engaging users than any other digital touchpoint.
Once downloaded, your app is just a click away and people can quickly access it, making it much easier than opening a web browser and manually typing in a website for an inferior experience.
Real estate apps are a great way to engage users, as they can quickly access your brand. Studies show that real estate app users are highly engaged during the first week of downloading the app, and they are twice as likely to retain users compared with mobile websites.
More than 70% of people who actively use real estate apps use the app at least three times per week. Even if people aren’t using your app regularly, it’s much easier to drive engagement with an app compared to other digital touchpoints. You can send targeted push notifications about new listings that will encourage inactive users to open the app.
3-Real Estate Agents Can Build Their Personal Brands
If you’re interested in earning more money as a real estate agent, consider creating an app for your business. You don’t need to compete with giants like Zillow; instead, focus on your local market and give the app to prospects when you’re first starting the communication process.
4-Real Estate Apps Are Versatile
Real estate apps can be used to promote your business and generate more sales in many ways, including promoting residential and commercial property listings, rental listings, home value estimates, property records and MLS listings, open house information, mortgage payment calculation, floor plans, virtual tools, professional photography and local school ratings.
5-Stay current on real estate market trends
As market trends continue to shift, it is important for real estate agents to have a mobile app to keep up with these changes. The growth of real estate app downloads demonstrates the demand for mobile-friendly tools, and not having an app could lead to frustration and missed opportunities.
6-Reach a wider audience
Apps make it easier to target new customers. For example, maybe the majority of your career has been spent selling houses. But with an app, you can easily expand and highlight commercial property listings. Or maybe you’ll use the app to connect landlords and owners with property managers. You could even have specific parts of your app that target real estate investors.
7-Improve Your Customer Relationships
Your real estate app can double as a CRM platform. When customers sign up for the app, they can enter personal details about themselves and what they’re looking for — and that’s before they even give you their email address or phone number!
8-Easy File Sharing
It’s become much easier to complete real estate transactions thanks to the mobile app. Buyers, sellers and brokers alike can collect signatures and send forms directly through it. It also encourages self-service for users during off hours. For example, if a buyer needs to complete a form on a Sunday night when the office is closed, they won’t have to wait until Monday morning for directions. They can simply go through a document checklist within the app to find forms they need to complete. Then they’ll see the status of those forms in real time, and can fill out the information in the form of a mobile questionnaire directly through the app.
9. Organize and Highlight Your Team of Realtors
Real estate apps can be a great way to find a local agent. For example, if you have questions about the property details of a new listing, the app can automatically connect you with an agent who fits within your criteria.
This feature also helps to create a personal connection with your users. They feel like they can get to know your agents before they even speak with them.
10-High ROI on Property Listings
The benefits of mobile apps extend beyond selling more properties and providing a better experience for customers. For example, virtual tours allow agents to offer instant access to any prospective buyer, saving them time and eliminating cases where they show a property in person only for the buyer to realize that it’s not what they’re looking for.
To sum up…
Mobile apps have become a must-have tool for modern real estate agents, realtors and brokers. Whether you want to offer a simple mortgage calculator or provide a full-service app to manage properties, there are endless opportunities for you to better serve your customers and business.
