The 24/7 availability is crucial in the world of real estate. If an agent can't answer the questions instantly, the chances that the client will move on and find another agency are huge. To stay competitive and stop losing clients, your first step to success should be the automation.

A chatbot's skills can also become better over time based on the previous interactions thanks to machine learning, they can manage human-alike conversations, they are intelligent, you can build your chatbot without any programming knowledge.

Social Media and Chatbots

Social media is the place where the majority of modern online users spend most of their free time. Using advanced marketing tools build-in social media, real estate agents can advertise its services simple and easy.

Moreover, there is the well-know omnichannel presence. Modern users like to communicate using their favorite messaging channels, and that's where you should take advantage of free chatbots again.

Virtual Reality Equipment

VR equipment is one of the best things that affected the real estate industry. Apart from saving time, VR equipment can decrease the costs of an agency. Nowadays, people are too busy to visit and explore all the potential properties, and so are the agents, who have a lot of tasks to perform on a daily basis.

Using VR equipment, real estate agents can sell homes even to remote buyers. Instead of meeting with clients each time, potential customers can see and feel the entire space even from a great physical distance.

Moreover, that kind of presentation increases customer satisfaction since clients can talk and think over the idea of buying a property without an agent standing over their heads.

Video Tours and Drones

Similar to the presentation of apartments using VR equipment, real estate agents can film the entire property, from literally all perspectives thanks to drones.

The primary advantage of video tours is that an agent can show the apartment to customers in real time using live video call, but also to record a video and send it to busy clients that don't have enough time to visit a location together.

Moreover, once filmed, a property can be reviewed over and over again, which saves real estate agents' time.

Apps

There are tons of apps specially created for real estate agents. Using such apps, realtors can manage leads, save contact information in one place, send automated emails and instant messages, and even automate social sharing.

Using some of the real estate apps, agents can also increase the traffic on their website or social media, and even schedule all tasks using the calendar feature. Besides, apps like OpenHome Pro, Premier Agent, Dotloop, and Spotio are available for smartphones, which enables retailers to work even when they're on the move.
