As a real estate agent, you undoubtedly do your best to make sure contact information and flyers are clear and well stocked at each property you are representing. Due to everyday occurrences, sometimes flyers run out or phones go unmanned during non-typical business hours. Since this can lead to potential buyers becoming frustrated or disinterested, you should consider real estate text marketing. Not only can real estate text marketing decrease the occurrence of situations like these, they can also provide added benefits relating to the business of selling homes.

Cellular smart phones have become somewhat of a social staple, so utilizing real estate text marketing can put you into contact with all walks of people, from first time homebuyers to retired professionals looking for a vacation home. Using this method of marketing also allows you to set up different property information based on specific “keywords” buyers text in, therefore condensing your marketing technique and cutting down on printing and advertising costs. When you use real estate text marketing, you can also arrange so that all of the potential buyers who have contacted you are saved in a database. With this database, you can send scheduled sales specials and alerts to numerous potential clients each time.

You can use real estate text marketing to help build a stronger client base as well. Text marketing helps to provide potential buyers with basic information, including the lot size, bedroom and bathroom quantity, and asking price. This can be a way to determine if buyers who contact you after reviewing this information have more serious inquiries or be more interested in buying the property. Real estate text marketing can also be tied into widely popular social media websites, as well. If some of your networking connections have expressed an interest in buying a home, you can use your social media webpage to post a message encouraging them to send texts to specific numbers for information.

You might find that real estate text marketing can be ultimately successful in landing you more sales for a small financial cost. You can use the internet to find many providers who will set you up with this type of service beginning with an average monthly cost under $50. When you research this marketing idea, you will notice that there are extras you can add to your service to help bump sales, such as voice broadcasting and e-mail alerts.
