Industry Guide: Real Estate
Reduce non-revenue time, grow the rent roll, close more business and enhance your business bottom line.

BUSINESS DRIVER 

Reduce non-revenue time 

Sharing, reducing or removing back-office workload allows front line staff more time to engage with the market and focus on revenue-generating activities. 

Maximise skills 

Paying agents to complete paperwork and build proposals is a waste of their closing skills. Hand off the back-office work and utilise their relationship skills to maximum potential. 

Grow the rent roll 

Dramatically reducing leasing team costs allows your business to manage a larger rent roll and implement new efficiency initiatives without worrying about high salary costs. 

Close more business 

Agents walking into vendor discussions armed with latest research, tailored presentations, and pre-filled paperwork increase both deal probability and velocity. 

Enhance brand 

Reduce marketing costs or offer 24×7 support with experienced staff at a low cost. Promote your brand as super-responsive and always open for business.
