Text My MLS
Have you ever driven past a real estate sign in front of a home for sale and noticed a brochure box attached to the sign? The idea is to make it easy to get the details of the property into the hands of the consumer so they can determine if the property meets their needs. More often than not I see empty boxes and wonder what the consumer and the Seller thinks of the agent and have to assume it is not positive. If it’s raining or worse yet winter time with a 3 foot snow drift the customer has to climb over to get the brochure that’s probably not convenient.
I’ve been using a new technology for the last few months on many of my listings called Text My MLS. It basically allows the consumer with a cell phone to send a text message from the convenience of their car using an MLS ID number for the property taken from a rider on the sign. They get an immediate text message back with the details of the property with several photos, right to their cell phone. No more having to get out of the car, no printing of brochures and never any empty brochure boxes. If the property is of interest they can can place a call to me to discuss making an appointment to see the home. If they get home and can’t remember the address of the property all they have to do is check the text message they recieved on their phone and the address and contact informtion for me is right there.
Want to try it out? Text the message MLS12294 to the number 70734.
