5 of the biggest proptech mistakes estate agents make
Technology has had a major impact on the estate agency industry over the last few year, and it is important for agents to get up to speed with prop tech to ensure their success. Unfortunately, as with any new technological advancements, many agents make mistakes that can have a serious impact on their success.
Here are the top 5 mistakes real estate agents are making when it comes to prop tech:
4. Remember to keep the customers needs at the forefront of all decisions. Having the latest fancy bit of proptech is no good if your customers do not engage with it, or if its not a full integration. I have seen examples of proptech companies offering integrations, where in reality the integration would just cause more frustration and confusion for the agents customers than if there had been no integration at all, the worst culprit of this was a WhatsApp integration that only allowed WhatsApp messages to be sent, any replies just vanished into the ether with no notifications to the customers that the messages had not been sent.
5. Maintenance is essential. All too often agents acquire the latest bit of proptech, get it set up and then forget about it. It is important to keep an eye on the tech, is it still working the way you want it to? Are you still getting good customer engagement? Does it still represent your brand the way you want it to? I always suggest setting a meeting with yourself to do a quarterly review/preview session, it won’t take long but a couple of hours every three months could help to make sure your proptech keeps working the way you want it to.
