PRESS RELEASE:
New Mobile Platform Puts the Power to Close a Transaction in Brokers and Agents’ Hands
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–November 12, 2015–
Xome℠ today unveiled the Xome Pro app, a first of its kind mobile platform enabling real estate brokers and agents to collaborate with clients and complete major steps in the home buying and selling process – all through their mobile device.
Xome Pro is the next evolution of Xome’s end-to-end real estate transaction platform, designed with brokers and agents’ technology needs in mind. Today, agents use an average of four different apps throughout the transaction process, according to a November 2015 Xome-commissioned national survey of 250 licensed real estate agents conducted by Penn Schoen Berland; more than a quarter of the agents surveyed reported using six apps or more.
Xome Pro simplifies the daily work of brokers and agents by delivering a single mobile platform that centralizes communications, integrates leads from other platforms and streamlines 14 routine real estate processes.
With Xome Pro, brokers and agents can use their mobile device to integrate and curate leads originating from multiple sources, share listings, schedule tours, follow market activity, create, negotiate and accept offers, schedule inspections, order title and settlement services, deposit earnest money, and complete the closing process. Brokers and agents using Xome Pro are also eligible to receive Xome qualified homebuyer and seller referrals directly through the app. As a result, traditionally offline transactions requiring coordination between multiple parties can now be integrated and handled simply through the Xome Pro app, saving time and maximizing revenue for brokers and agents.
Collaboration with clients and relationship management is also simplified via in-app messaging and genuine transparency into the real estate transaction process.
The market need for a simple, end-to-end mobile real estate platform is clear. According to the real estate agents surveyed by Penn Schoen Berland, they would save an average of seven hours per week if they were able to complete routine real estate processes like these through their mobile phone.
“We designed Xome Pro to simplify the daily activities of real estate brokers and agents, save them valuable time and help them focus on what matters – their clients,” said Kal Raman, CEO of Xome. “By enabling brokers and agents to collaborate with clients and complete major steps in the home buying and selling process using their mobile device, Xome Pro puts the power to close a transaction in their hands.”
After downloading the Xome Pro app, brokers and agents will have the ability to send clients an invitation to download the client version of the app and collaborate throughout the end-to-end digital transaction process.
Xome Pro will soon begin an invitation only beta launch for brokers and agents currently in the Xome Agent Network, with general availability early in the first quarter of 2016. To learn more or sign up, brokers and agents can visit www.xomepro.com.
