In this post, we are going to look at why mortgage brokers and Real Estate agents should have a business app.  What are the benefits of having an app which represents you and your listings?  What benefits can apps have for finding new customers and connecting with old customers?  These questions and more will give more insight into the overwhelming need for having a custom business app.

As any good Mortgage Broker or agent knows having leads, new or old, can be a driving force in sales and productive performance.  However, what happens when leads run low or even dry?  Although you may have more time on your hands, going door to door is not practical and haggling for customers looks desperate.

As a mortgage broker or Real Estate agent, meeting new people every day is typical and potentially profitable under the right conditions.  Networking and making new contacts can lead to deals and sales very quickly.  However, what are you doing to keep those connections alive and healthy?  No doubt you are collecting email info and phone numbers for future business deals, but what happens if you don’t talk to those people for months or even years?  Will they remember you?  The answer is probably NO, but there is something you can do to change that to a YES!

To have your smartphone, iPhone, iPad or Android app. Is the perfect way to communicate with clients, friends and new customers on a personal level. It’s something Facebook and Twitter can not achieve. When a customer/user downloads an app, they are telling you they want to connect to you on a personal level.

Apps have a great selection of quick linking features while providing essential information fast and effectively, your business location, contact info, listings, mortgage deals, lending rates, real estate fees, GPS navigation to listed homes and much more.  A smartphone app is a perfect tool needed to build on current business connections while creating new ones. 

Push notifications versus emails

Emails have an average read rate of 4%-10% not much at all. Push notifications that are only available on smartphone apps have a 97% read rate. Wouldn’t you prefer to have 97% comper to say 10%?

Plus the app will have the instant info that your client or potential client is looking for.

If you want to be noticed, and you want to be different from the rest then your own personal business app is what you need.

You can spend money on a billed board sign at a bus stop or an ad in the cinema, that is a lot of money to invest and no guarantee to be a success. Okay, you maybe get a new lead or a customer. For most people is just another ad that no one pays attention to.

A smartphone business app will promote your business marketing ten times more than any other marketing medium you are using right now. With push notifications, your customers and leads will read what is sent automatically.
