The virtFlyer.com Mobile Messaging Platform enables realtors to leverage the fast growing space of mobile messaging in their signage, and as a way to follow up with customer inquiries. Analysts estimate that worldwide 3.4 billion mobile messages will have been sent in 2008, rising to 4.9 trillion in 2011. Over 70% of all cell phone users in the US leverage text messaging, and 65% of the SMS traffic is from those aged 25-54. virtFlyer.com is a cutting edge green technology that enables you to differentiate your brokerage and close sales quickly.

A virtFlyer Property Code is a unique ID used to market a specific property. This code can be used over and over again with multiple properties. When inquiring for information via text message, buyers input the virtFlyer Property Code into the Message field and send it to the number on the sign. The information and images assigned to that virtFlyer Property Code is sent back to the buyer’s mobile phone. At the same time, contact information about the inquirer is sent directly to the realtor for follow up.

Absolutely! Just open text messaging on your phone and send the message “PROP101” to the number 878787. Test all elements of the system just as a potential real estate buyer would.

The amount of inquiries you'll receive varies depending on location, signage, traffic and consumer interest. It all depends on how you promote your campaigns (sign, flyer, advertisement) and the amount of traffic outside the property. Many realtors will use their virtFlyer Property Code in newspaper or magazine advertisements to raise the visibility of properties in low traffic areas.

It all comes down to tracking interest in a property and being able to follow up with individuals that express interest. Use of your virtFlyer Property Code transforms passive media advertisements into activity that you can track and follow up on turning inquiries into buyers.
