Every good Real Estate Agent knows that providing answers to incoming questions immediately is one of the biggest ways to keep your warm leads from turning cold. In today’s competitive market there is no such thing as “too fast” of a response. That is why we developed your App’s NEW real-time messaging feature Stack Chat—dropping today!
The world has gone remote and in a time where agents are handling sales, listings AND marketing, a swift response may seem near impossible.
This powerful in-app chat not only provides an always-on greeting to new users, but also allows agents to speak to customers instantly, at the moment of highest intent, when searching for properties in your App. Chat is also proven to be one of the most effective tools for boosting lead volume and conversions.

The moment someone downloads your App, it is not the end, but rather the beginning of a longer journey. Bridging the gap quickly, between a first interaction with a lead and engaging them, is critical for building long-term relationships with your prospects and converting them to life-long clients.
Today, consumer patience is at an all-time low. With 70% of Americans using three or more messaging apps it was only natural to add this to your app as a platform that will enable quick and effortless follow up and create a space to have meaningful conversations with prospects to turn those conversations into closings.

By monitoring user activity in your App’s Insights tab, you can see what your users are searching, saving and favoriting to better understand what is most important to them. By combining that data with the quick response time Stack Chat allows, you can now turn that information into action by suggesting the perfect properties at the right time and be there to answer questions at that moment.
“Fifty-five percent of US online adults are likely to abandon their online purchase if they cannot find a quick answer to their question.” according to Forrester.
