The latest thing I have been working on is really trying to get our texting program off the ground and running. We've been working with a company called Mobile Card Cast that is setting us up with this program. After everything works, a buyer will be able to see a house for sale that has a sign similar to this picture to the left. They will be able to text a code to a number, and will immediately get a text back with information about the property, pictures, and the agent's contact information. The agent then gets this information as a lead that they can follow up on.
So far our biggest problem has been getting all the information needed for this program to work set up correctly. We have ten different offices who have listings from two different MLS providers: Trend and Lehigh Valley MLS. We have had to get both of these companies agree to share their information with Mobile Card Cast so they can have the information on all of our listings. Mobile Card Cast is a newer company, however, and so it was taking some time for Trend and Lehigh Valley MLS to allow them access to that information. They have finally allowed access though and everything is being set up now. I have started going into our admin page for the texting site and assigning text codes to some of Tom Skiffington's (the broker) listings. I've also been pasting the codes on the signs to be attached to the houses's for sale sign, and as soon as the program is fully working we'll be able to go out and put the signs up, and hopefully get some houses sold faster!
