At Dezrez, we aim to use PropTech to bring agents and clients closer together by ‘Connecting the Property World’ through our estate agency software and integrations with third-party providers. Although we’re continually developing our software, we don’t innovate for innovation’s sake; we only provide the best tools to our agents, ensuring you gain value from the best-in-class PropTech on offer. If you’re going to invest in PropTech, it needs to add value and deliver Return on Investment (ROI) to your agency.
Recent advancements in technology means that digital solutions are essential within the property industry and PropTech is the number one investment for agents – and it’s a must-have, essential tool for any agency hoping to thrive in the 2020s.
While there is still buyer demand for traditional estate agency processes, it’s key to future-proof your agency to avoid being left behind as more agencies invest in technology. With the help of innovation from our tech partners that are directly integrated, we want you to stay ahead of the curve and invest in the products and services that your agency can benefit from in order to become more efficient, offer a better client experience, and most importantly win more instructions!
Winning more instructions with property technology
Winning more instructions is just one of the many benefits of PropTech.
Using the right tech tools means your estate agency can offer USPs that your competitors cannot. For example, if you offer a PropTech service where your clients can log in to their own portal and view sales progression updates, your chances of being instructed ahead of an agent that hasn’t invested in such technology will be enhanced.
You can now offer an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat-bot solution to answer out of hours client queries or virtual 3D property viewing software – using this tech will ensure you stand out when a potential seller is considering which estate agent to instruct.
There is PropTech out there to help estate agents and agencies in almost every department, be it conversion rates of market appraisals, market or client intelligence, property reports, automation, marketing, customer service and much more. However, the best estate agency software companies will help you to decide which ones are beneficial for your business and tailor their solution to fit.
The importance of client retention in today’s market
Not only will PropTech attract and help convert potential clients, but it will also help make their experience a more positive one once they become your clients. Buying or selling a property is a major undertaking that can be demanding both physically and mentally, so be sure to use PropTech to refine the service you provide as an estate agent to help your clients feel in control during the entire process.
This can be done in many ways thanks to PropTech advancements, including more regular or automated communication, dedicated login portals, online data availability, electronic document signing and more.
During the home buying process, it is essential that the processes put in place to win a sale are met with the same encouragement when looking at retaining that customer each time they want to buy a property. A returning customer builds trust in your offering and adds immense value to your agency. Through word-of-mouth, customer success experiences can help agencies of all sizes dominate location areas and stand out among larger competitors.
