6/1/2023 – Technology to get you business

We have seen an increase in great technology products helping real Estate Agents and Loan officers nationwide. Two of the products that I use and are particularly helpful are Homebot and List Reports, and both are for different reasons. List reports is 100% free to the agents, and Homebot is free to agents up to a certain number of clients.

I have attached info on both of these, and I am happy to sign anyone up for List reports, and I will happily sign anyone who uses me for loans to Homebot! Yes, Homebot costs money, and even though I love almost everyone, but I can’t support those of you who choose to work with inferior lenders!

I think we have all seen Homebot, and they send out emails monthly about a buyers value, but more than that, a buyer can search for properties through that site. It will link to you, their agent, and they will not go out to Zillowville and call another agent behind your back! It also lets you know when your sellers are actively looking in the market, and it has some great tools you can use to help get your sellers and buyers off the fence.

List Reports has excellent tools to help you with marketing.

They have different shareable information that comes out daily, property flyers, Individual property websites, and more.

My favorite feature in List Reports is your ability as an agent to get information on a listing before you go to the listing appointment.

I don’t know your Homebot cost, but I know that List Reports is FREE! I suggest you look into both of them and see if they fit into what you want to do in your business. Here are a few links that should help you
