This is why we are investing in new technologies that will enable us to empower our clients with the latest in cutting-edge tools to make their daily operations run smoother. We will soon launch a ground-breaking AI-powered feature into one of our core products. <p></p><p>Looking into the crystal ball, it is becoming more clear how AI could potentially impact the industry, including:</p><p><b>1. Improved property valuations:</b> AI algorithms could be used to more accurately value properties using a combination of historical and current for sale and sold data, as well as advanced image analysis, potentially reducing the need for human appraisers<br /><br /><b>2. Enhanced property listings:</b> AI-powered platforms could make it easier for real estate agents to list properties, including by automatically generating listing descriptions and adding supplemental data.<br /><br /><b>3. Predictive analytics: </b>AI could be used to analyse data on past property sales and other relevant factors to make more accurate predictions about future property values and trends.<br /><br /><b>4. Improved customer service:</b> AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants could be used to improve the customer experience by providing quick and accurate answers to common questions. High-performing agents empowered by AI tools will become even more productive by handing repetitive tasks to their AI virtual assistants.<br /><br /><b>5. Streamlined transaction processes:</b> AI could be used to automate various aspects of the real estate transaction process, including contract creation and negotiation, reducing the time and effort required to complete a sale or purchase.</p><p>Overall, the adoption of AI in the real estate industry is likely to lead to more efficient and effective processes, as well as a better experience for both real estate agents and their clients.</p>Adriaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11601145612591776837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107265618626502162.post-42021238244677298812022-12-12T10:07:00.000+02:002022-12-12T10:07:35.981+02:00The top 10 advantages of using responsive design in real estate<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRiPDNCp6Sc5PXVlIY95dIxpZuuXOAiM4q4ieE2GJiR-Sg-NN7MRm-MjpjubBRWyvkJsBHJrWhEr0WBTCWswTfMZ4-itzqAdmUGaoq5aOkZLT8NsVIOzNtIltQIRH1PfGURccBkIz-tIO3Ut78Hc0A0djcQGaDh5jfNB3DUqWI9xqdAhIGSm5zQd8o" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiRiPDNCp6Sc5PXVlIY95dIxpZuuXOAiM4q4ieE2GJiR-Sg-NN7MRm-MjpjubBRWyvkJsBHJrWhEr0WBTCWswTfMZ4-itzqAdmUGaoq5aOkZLT8NsVIOzNtIltQIRH1PfGURccBkIz-tIO3Ut78Hc0A0djcQGaDh5jfNB3DUqWI9xqdAhIGSm5zQd8o=w400-h336" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>As a real estate agency, having a website is essential for showcasing your properties and attracting potential buyers.

We get into comfort zones with outdated tools and fear trying out something new.</p><p>Time lost on repetitive admin tasks impacts your business bottom line. That's time you could have spent on productive tasks. Save enough time and it opens the door to appointing someone new in your business. At Entegral we have a mindset of always trying to work more efficient and we push this view down into our product development. We are always on the lookout for how we can make your real estate business more profitable.</p><p>So how much time can you save in your real estate agency by automating everyday tasks?

Running a property portal and real estate platforms we see the usual pitfalls in property buying. While there are plenty of benefits for buyers to prequalify for finance, the benefit for estate agents can easily be calculated too.

In most cases, this would translate to the actual number of leads generated for that campaign, and to be more accurate the new mandates or sales generated from those leads. Knowing where best to spend your money is part of our goals with Base, and why you can already <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/6107265618626502162/6141712702431184725#" target="_blank">automatically import leads from all the portals within a few minutes.</a> This gives you great transparency to identify lead sources by a portal, but what about your own campaigns?<div> <br />Most marketing tools like Google or Facebook Ads will provide native reports with insights into the number of leads and cost per lead. But how do you know the source of the campaign the moment the lead lands in your inbox?<div> <br />Now consider those links you add in your email signature or somewhere in a news article that offers a free valuation. How would you know if those generate leads? How about a referral campaign through existing clients, can you easily pinpoint the reference without having to build special forms or asking clients where they found you?<h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Enter Flex's new campaign tracking feature</b></h3><p>This new feature allows you to automatically track leads back to any source campaign you've defined on your Flex website via a special and very easy-to-use link parameter. On the link below we've added <i>"cmp=Facebook Spring Campaign" </i>to our listing link to track a 'Facebook Spring Campaign':</p><p><a href="https://bold.themes.entegral.biz/sandton-cbd-apartment-for-sale-2001712?cmp=Facebook Spring Campaign" target="_blank">https://bold.themes.entegral.biz/sandton-cbd-apartment-for-sale-2001712?cmp=Facebook Spring Campaign</a> </p><p>Once you post and promote it on Facebook anyone that clicks on that link will be tracked on your website. If they end up enquiring within 60 days, you will be able to see that source campaign on the lead email and your Base inbox notification as 'Facebook Spring Campaign'.</p><p>Your campaign name can be anything and you can use listing pages, your home page, search results, and your free valuation form as links. For example, you can insert a free valuation link in your signature as <a href="https://bold.themes.entegral.biz/free-valuation?cmp=John email signature">https://bold.themes.entegral.biz/free-valuation?cmp=John email signature</a>. Should anyone click on that and capture the free valuation, you will be able to track it back to 'John email signature'. What is cool, is even if someone clicks on the free valuation link, but ends up browsing your website and making an enquiry on a listing, the source campaign will still be tracked.</p><p>The lead email will look something similar to this in your Base Inbox and email with a new 'campaign' field:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkafAoBAvPEQ1H_5yC-nHOyIgCqSd64oGxFyjQiS85RZdVyKmDXkIHojASBKMe_Ud1G9AxKZNol0yYBeHUUr7Iscvi2IdLwBi27mY5eI15_oED_m4LZNRcL0jdWY6LovPfyXuZDxfjIDmit-Yrw0yO561oGf63cTarbQK9uRIhGCQicxR0iepNtkkH/s639/base1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="593" data-original-width="639" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkafAoBAvPEQ1H_5yC-nHOyIgCqSd64oGxFyjQiS85RZdVyKmDXkIHojASBKMe_Ud1G9AxKZNol0yYBeHUUr7Iscvi2IdLwBi27mY5eI15_oED_m4LZNRcL0jdWY6LovPfyXuZDxfjIDmit-Yrw0yO561oGf63cTarbQK9uRIhGCQicxR0iepNtkkH/w400-h371/base1.png" width="400" /></a></div><div>The tracking service is offered free of charge to all Flex clients, but you need to notify our helpdesk to enable this on your website to start using it.
