- Not a clumsy bolt- on - Ours is the only property iPhone app on the market that is powered directly by your system, meaning you can make changes in real time. Ours is the only app available to show how many times a property has been viewed on the app. We are the only company able to offer this, because we are the only company with a fully integrated software package.
Before we created our own app, we first carefully analysed ALL the existing property apps in ALL major English speaking countries to check that it was worthwhile for us and our clients.
Compared to almost all the Estate Agents own apps the functionality we provide which NONE of the others do is as follows:
1. Full screen image slide-show (when phone is rotated)
2. One tap “add to my favourites/shortlist”
3. Saved personal property searches unique to each user
4. Stretchable full screen floor plan display
5. One-tap “get directions to this property from my current location” – amazed that no one else does this
6. Instant real-time live updating of property information (price, description, photos, floorplans etc)
7. Precise reporting of property views by your applicants iPhone apps within your account in thebu2iness.com (NO ONE else provides this at all)
8. Instant contact details updating if you change any branch phone numbers or email addresses as this is powered live by thebu2iness.com
In addition to this, when compared to the “cheap” apps we’ve seen:
9. Rather than having a one-size fits all app, you can (subject to costs) completely customise and tailor your app, change screen layouts, graphics, image sizes, etc
10. If you have ideas for new functionality unique to your agency, you can also have this added
11. It is a bona-fide ‘app’ rather than a simple mobile browser within an app (like a couple of the cheap ones we’ve seen – with terrible user interface)
12. You don’t have to set up an external feed to update it
13. There is no ongoing monthly cost or hosting charge
Finally, there are other important benefits unique to the way we provide our app:
14. As technology continues to develop, in-app functionality is going to advance to include the ability for applicants and clients to interact with their negotiators directly. For example an applicant will be able to see a list of the properties they have physically viewed within their own app, and if desired, you could allow them to enter their viewing feedback through the app directly into the system (good for those hard-to-reach during working hours applicants).
15. When you start using thebu2iness.com for property management, you will have the potential to begin being able to interact with tenants through apps, provide Landlords with statements and payment notifications to their apps etc. Basically all the communication and functionality benefits that always come from having ALL your data stored in one central location so you can cross-reference, query and interact with it all in real time.
