Property investors have generally been left in the dark ages getting any timely access to info on their rental properties.
You can log in to your bank 24/7 and see what’s happening so why not your real estate agent? Bees Nees can now offer our landlords a heap of property info online, including current lease and rent details (are they paid up to date?!) along with copies of past monthly statements. Our software updates the web pages each night so the info is fresh and relevant.
If you’re a Bees Nees landlord just read the bottom of your monthly statement for the web address and your personal and secure log-in. Or call us for the details. If you’re not a Bees Nees landlord, maybe it’s time for a change!
A new function from domain.com.au is making life easier for home buyers too. Called “Inspection Planner” it’s a neat tool that allows you to plan your Saturday inspections, helping you set a schedule, avoid overlapping times and even giving you directions and a map to follow from one open home to the next.
It’s great to see some strong innovation from the big property portals in recent months and this one seems such a simple but helpful tool. See the quick video intro.
We try to stay on top of emerging trends in property marketing but the pace of new technology has our industry looking more and more like a sci-fi movie!
Two years ago we noted the emerging use of GPS enabled mobile phones in the USA and how we might soon be using them to find homes for sale in Brisbane. Today the hottest real estate marketing trends are all about using your phone (especially, but not just, I Phones) to search property for sale or rent while you’re out in the area where you want to live. The big portals like domain.com and realestate.com launched mobile phone versions of their sites this year so shopping for Brisbane real estate is becoming a far more mobile sport.
The recent launch of Google real estate mapping was another hint of what’s to come. The future is all about access to info, when and where you want it.
And that’s why the launch of Layar’s Augmented Reality browser is so exciting. Turn your phone toward a building you like the look of and if there’s an apartment for sale the video image on your screen will show a real-time pop-up with the details, internal pics, price and a button to click to ring the agent. Simple but mind-blowing stuff using your phone’s GPS and compass.
Watch the video below to see how amazing this tool will be. No doubt we’ll have it here in Brisbane before long.
