Putting Text Messaging To Work For Realtors

Monday, September 26, 2005

Nowdays, everyone who has a cell phone is somewhat familiar with text messaging. It has become increasingly popular as it is a fast way to communicate without talking. So why aren't Realtor's putting this technology to work??? CellSigns is doing just that. CellSigns is a sales system that allows potential customers to send a text message with the property identification number and receive instant information ~ 24 hours a day. From this they can request additional information, schedule a tour, or contact the Realtor directly. CellSigns cuts out the initial call or the flyers in the box outside the property. Plus since it is sent via text message, the customer will have the information stored in their phone with them if they need to refer back to it. The great news for the agent is that the customer's initial needs are met immediately and they won't call another agent because you didn't answer the phone the first time they called.

For more information on putting CellSigns to work for you, visit http://www.cellsigns.com/.

  • I looked at this, but have a question: why does it cost 3x as much as Real Estate Text Messaging?

  • Yeah, I use House4Cell. Its awesome and from I can tell, it does MORE for less than CellSigns. When I saw CellSigns at the CAR they were unable to give a a compelling reason to go with them over House4Cell.

  • I looked at house4sell but their product will get me into a lawsuit if I use them...I chose CellSigns because it is the only interactive platform that allows my clients to opt-in for more information...I guess the old saying is true, you get what you pay for. Check them out at www.cellsigns.com

  • I'm confused... The poster at top mentions Real Estate Text Messaging but http://realestatetextmessaging.com/ looks like another name for the CellSigns service...

  • The important thing to remember is that by requesting information via text message, the user is legally opted in for a 90 day period, the same as if they called on a 1-800 number (which I also use). Good thing I chose real estate marketing and saved some money; plus, my users don't have to go back-and-forth to get the information they want right away.

    Here's an old sayings for you: money saved is money earned.

  • I have been in sales a long time and I have grown to learn that if a company's only "claim to fame" is that they are cheaper, that company will not be around long. I want to do business with a company that I know actually brings something of worth to the table. I don't mind paying for quality. It seems that house4cell is like a JV team trying to compete with professionals. The owners of cellsigns are real estate brokers who know the industry and have a passion for their fellow agents. They are not a company of leaches that also have a product in the restaraunt industry who are just trying to make a buck. They actually care for the well being of the industry and want to raise the level of professionalism. As far as I am concerned I would go with a company that knows where I am coming from, has better functionality, looks out for my best interests, has better features, and is an all around stable outfit. It seems that house4cell is inferior in all of these categories. With cellsigns I don't ever have to worry about a time frame of when I can or can't call someone, I am spending my time contacting the clients that are hot (not calling everyone under the sun, my time is money), they have a text to email function that increases my marketing breadth per client, and I would be looked at as a leader in my industry. We will see who is around in about a year and I would go with that company. Thanks for you time.

  • www.text-ed.com , seem to know what they are doing; they have a team of experts with years of experience in media, marketing and technology. Their product is so much more user friendly then the others. There’s no messing about with unfamiliar functions on the cell phone. Potential buyers simply call an 800 number then enter a property code located on our for sale sign.

    We have 250 of their signs, other then a small monthly web access fee we only pay for the leads we receive. 250 signs from the other services would have cost us thousands of dollars. We tried a text message service that required the end users to send a text message and received a few leads, I bet we get 3 or 4 times more leads with this service.

  • When will text messaging go the next step - as in, for sale by owners or finding information on foreclosures? Something to think about!!!

  • Our office uses Realtyunwired after we previewed both Cellsigns and House4cell. We found Realtyunwired was far more affordable with better features.
