Real Estate

Real estate professionals are quickly embracing mobile technologies, including text messaging or SMS (for short message service), photo and video transmissions, maps, Web access and location-based services (LBS) via handheld phones and PDAs. According to the Cellular Telephone Industry Association (CTIA), an estimated 18.7 billion text messages were sent in the United States in December 2006, and the median age of consumers who use text messaging is 38 years old — the same as the Internet homebuyer.

TellMyCell’s easy to use tool allowing real estate agents to send instant property information on any of their listings, directly to a homebuyer’s cell phone. Pricing info, square footage, photos and more can all be sent through our simple backend system where you control the messages and can change them at anytime.

The user simply texts a short, 1-word code found on the real estate sign to a special phone number, and within seconds he or she receives property information, photos, and is given the option to receive additional information via e-mail or fax. At the same time, the real estate agent receives a text message containing the contact information of the homebuyer, so that they can be in instant contact to close the deal.

Click-to-Call - On compatible phones, homebuyers simply click a link to automatically dial the agent or Press 1 to be connected.
Fax and E-Mail Brochures - Homebuyers can request additional information to be sent instantly to their fax machine or e-mail inbox.
