Property ManagementE-Mail Pager Combines Wireless Technology with the Speed of a Pager
For busy Realtors who enjoy primary communication with their customers and
contacts via E-mail, RealtorPage is introducing a new wireless E-mail pager - the
EmailPager2000.
The EmailPager provides the ability to instantly respond to clients" and
potential customers" E-mail messages instantly, giving the agent with such
technology an advantage in the marketplace.
According to RealtorPage"s research, REALTORS® are finding that more
customers are seeking information about homes on the Web and using the Internet
to find and interview agents. E-mailing as many as five to ten agents for more
information, these customers expect to have an instant response, and will
typically choose to work with the first agent who contacts them.
This research is supported by the National Association of REALTORS® findings
that buyers and sellers will choose the first agent with whom they come in
contact. The NAR found that 90 percent of home buyers contact three or fewer
agents, and 58% of home buyers contact only one agent.
Although many Realtors are increasing their use of the Internet as a means o
f marketing their homes and their services, some are finding it difficult to
get leads or to turn those leads into sales. According to RealtorPage"s
research, the reason is simple - lack of instant response to Internet leads.
The site points out that the Internet gives its users almost instant access
to all sorts of information, so users naturally expect that when they send an
email, or fill out an online form on a web site, that someone will get back to
them within minutes.
When someone is using the web to find a house, they will typically E-mail
five to ten Realtors, twice the number typically contacted by other means,
during that session. According to the site, the way to cash in on this
homebuyer is to be positioned to quickly respond.
The EmailPager is a two-way wireless email device, about the size of a
beeper and the cost of a PalmPilot, which has a keyboard that you can instantly
type in a message and send. In this way, you are demonstrating your ability to
communicate with buyers who want to communicate via E-mail.
The EmailPager can also be used in listing presentations to demonstrate your
readiness to answer the messages of interested buyers or agents. It enables the
Realtor to stay in touch with leads while showing properties, or while in
meetings.
It also has the following easy-to-use features:
