We've all seen information fliers attached to for sale signs. I usually pick up every flier I can find and when I get home I pour over the grainy pictures and decide which homes are worth looking up on the MLS. My husband can't stand the mess I leave in the office but I can't resist a good flier. Now, technology has taken over (to my husbands delight).
While lunching with my mentor, Cindi Blustein, we met a gentleman who has started a company that texts home information to your phone. Brilliant.
This is how it works: Instead of a box of fliers on the for sale sign, there is a rider that says "for more information text (insert unique number here) to 32075. In a few seconds, the MLS data on that home (including photos) will be sent to your phone. And here's the kicker ITS FREE!!! Yes people. You read that correctly. Its a free service to both real estate agents AND the texters!!
Now, I'm a big texter, anyone will tell you. But the best feature about this service is that all that MLS data can be saved to your phone for future reference. No papers cluttering the office. No cost of printing a bunch of fliers just to have them be ruined by rain or the neighborhood kids.
What do you guys think? Do you think this is a better alternative to fliers? Do you think Realtors should use both texting and fliers? Let me know what you think in the comments.
