Smart Purchase of Real Estate
During the latest decades more and more people are looking for rent or sale apartments via mobile applications. It became easier to go ahead with the search through smartphone instead of hunting ads on the bus stops. I think many of you were familiar with past practice, but with the strong development of new technologies it is great to go ahead with their search comfortably. Simple mobile apps can provide full information about the unoccupied properties with contact information. Users need just call or chat with the person and make an appointment for personal visit.
Tamir Poleg, CEO and founder of Real Estate Agend says that people today are much more knowledgeable then ever and able to easily find out required information directly from their smartphone. They do research and know what they are looking for. Others who still working with agencies somehow frustrated as feel the lack of services they expect, then collect a hefty check. Agencies have to be more responsive, understand better what the client wants, and justify the money that they’re getting. Customers appreciate valuable information including in multiple photos which give clear picture of considered property. Real Estate application designed to discover your dream home from millions similar. Thanks to inbuilt search option, you’re able to filter the property matches with the city, location, amenities you’re looking for. Get to know the latest sold things, the nearest locality house.
Why do people want to have real estate apps? The next reason is its free to cost. App produces you the off-market homes based on market value auction for a clear picture. Many apps use filter option like relevance, recent data to old data to make the clarity of latest listing more specific. It comprises with the latest running projects, immediate possession buildings, property updates with clear information to see.
“Before, you spent a lot of time doing information gathering, and collecting, and response,” says Jeremy Wacksman, Chief Marketing Officer at Zillow. “The Internet really opened the doors. Agents are freed up to help get the deals done. But now they have to be agent, negotiator, price setter, and a community resource.”
Unfortunately majority of users are scared with the idea to buy a home without the help of a trained agent. But the National Association of Realtors, a company that funds startups in the real estate industry, tries to integrate new technology into a buying and selling process. It will be not just simple text information, customers will be able to view videos and VR tours. People will also use some programs such as DotLoop to streamline the process even further.
Another step forward is responsiveness to provide more information about property. In the world of mobile devices where agents and brokers need to continually be more responsive with clients.
YENA Software doesn’t fall behind the latest technologies and deeply involved in the services of mobile application development. We offer complete range of services globally to allow customers try the application they are always dreamed about. Our services are unique and highly appreciated among our clients. Not far ago we started real estate application development and helped numerous of searchers with dream home. According to customers needs we draw a portrait of the ideal real estate application which will include current list of features:
Messaging
Real estate app gathered a huge property list that’s why it makes sense to carry about the important thing such as communication. For example, homebuyers are received different kind of notifications for all kinds of properties. This is only one side of the app. We suggest to consider another types of messaging which are fundamental and important for real estate structure.
- One of the possible solution is to provide non real time messaging. But despite its simplicity this option is not good to use as app itself requires real time communication between a home buyer/renter and a real estate agent/broker. From the developers’ point it’s one of the fastest and easiest way to transport and implement message through regular HTTP requests. Some of our customers are support such kind of communication, but only at the very first version of the app where it still hasn’t gathered huge target audience.
- In terms of implementation SMS is the next good solution which still is popular among our customers. Real estate apps or similar to it are not exception.
- For non real time chats it’s good to have hybrid messages. We build it by simply accomplished communication between a server and a client through HTTP requests. The message would go to the server and soon server would send push notification to a client. After simple click on a notification, user will be transferred to a dialogue.
- The best point for every customer is real time messaging which enables constant connection between a client and a server. Such kind of chats are typically implemented with the XMPP protocol to transport across the network with the help of transport bidding such as TCP/IP, HTTP, or WebSockets.
Our team is working on research in communication technology and ready to suggest you the best one according to your purposes and needs.
Live Tour
Great real estate app should totally fit customers’ needs like real agent consultant. That’s why customers more often want to see ability to request live tours via application, with the top function to see overlook of the apartment or any other property.
How will it work? Every agent has account synchronized with the clients’ application profile. When home buyer is willing to request a demo tour, he simply need to press button and send request. Agent can either accept or decline request. After he has accepted client’s request, he or she can call a buyer or send an SMS right from the app’s page with the buyer’s contact details.
Another alternative way to perform live tour is to add 360 view videos to the profile page. Our apps with inbuilt VR video allow users to navigate through various views including apartment on two floors. We create photo realistic virtual reality environment simply combining the computer generated renderings and actual photography. We combine atmospheric audio of street noise and wind with a first person street view to show the apartment look from the street. To make more realistic vision we add 3D photo-realistic apartment renderings at different times of day.
Secure Services
We often faced such kind of questions from your customers like: “How can be sure that via video or VR presentation we look exactly at the same flat we are going to buy?” This is the simple question of security. We want to follow one of the latest technology presented from Curb Call, but per now just working on it and ready to share with you main idea.
Curb Call development system called Radius. It allows real estate agent to put status “on a showing”, when he is going to show apartment. The app will track exact agent’s location and display it on the brokerage’s Curb Call dashboard. If the agent unexpectedly leaves the showing, Radius will automatically trigger an emergency alert to the broker and to an emergency contact. In addition, the Curb Call app will immediately notify the broker and an emergency contact if a real estate agent hits a “Panic” button in the app.
We all looking forward to meet new and perfect technology, but per now just follow the latest news and innovations. For more interesting news follow us in Twitter or Facebook.
