It is no longer an option for agents to keep and market to lists of contacts and clients.  Going forward it is one of the most important items to building a pipeline of business.  Effective monitoring and tracking of these clients is the next step.  Tribus’ contact management system makes this process so easy that even your least tech oriented agent will begin using it immediately.  This system integrates with our drip email system to create amazing campaigns with little to no effort on behalf of your agents.

When prospects begin to interact with the website, there is a level of tracking that is hard to find anywhere else.  Agents and brokers can see what listings clients have viewed, how they got to the website, set them up for automatic listing emails via our HomeHunter feature, and more.

When a lead comes in, within seconds, it is routed to an agent.  Your company can set any rules you’d like on how leads are distributed.  Have a team of approved web agents?  Easy.  Want to hand them out in a round robin format? Done.  Have a lead coordinator to handle them?  Our system can handle that as well.

In a world where the speed of how fast you get back with a prospect is the number one reason an individual signs with a broker, it’s vital to ensure a quick response to information requests.  Our system can hand the lead to a different agent if someone doesn’t respond within your allotted time.

Agents receive lead notifications via text message and email.  They can accept the lead right on their web enabled cell phones.  After accepting they can get contact information and can see any listings or requests the potential buyer has.

Until now, home search was separated into two different formats:

• Search From Home – browse online photos, virtual tours, look in the newspaper
• Drive Through Neighborhoods – get in the car, find for sale signs, look for open houses

The problem was searching from home didn’t give you the experience of being in the neighborhood.  Driving through the neighborhood didn’t let you see the inside of the home or finding the opportune open house.  Not to mention the fact that homebuyers have become frigid toward calling the number on the for sale sign.  They don’t want to talk to an agent just to find out price.  They know they are going to be pitched to, and their name and phone number will be requested.

At Tribus we provide our affiliates something revolutionary.  A mobile real estate search application that lets users see interior photos, find out pricing, room dimensions, beds/baths, and more.  The user then becomes captive to this real estate search application.  When that buyer is ready to see the inside of a home with one click on their mobile phone they can schedule a showing or get more information.  Everyone of those leads will go to your company instead of the company with sign.  Unlike, other large companies “mobile search,” our program is a true application, not simply a web page.

Finally, the true power of the application lies in the patented GPS search.  This allows a user with touching just one button to find the 10 closest listings to them.  They can get directions to each home and all the details listed above.  This creates a whole new experience for real estate search and affiliating with Tribus at either our Standard or Premium levels will give your company access to this revolutionary program.

*Mobile application powered by Smarter Agent

Tribus integrates seemlessly with your website and offers your agents their own email address with advanced features and a 7.3Gigabyte storage space.(That’s for each agent, not for your whole company.)  Think about the options this amount of storage space offers your agent.  When sending or receiving contracts they never again have to delete files to free up space.  They can Archive all emails from a particular transaction into a folder for safe keeping and journaling purposes.

Have you ever had an agent try to send an attachment and it wouldn’t go through?  Our email system allows attachments twice the size of other emails systems.

As a broker, there are some additional great features.

Do you send emails to all your agents?  With our system you can send an email to just one address and it will reach every agent in your system.  Alternatively, you can set up groups.  For example, you could have a group of all agents from one office.

What about your address book?  How great would it be to have it autopopulate with all agents in your company automatically.  Therefore if you did want to send an email to a single agent you wouldn’t need to look up their address.

How about search?  In your current email system, if you wanted to find an email about a property on 123 Any St.  How long would it take you to find that?  Our system, just a second!

Imagine your agents being able to share calendars, find out if their broker is free for a meeting, see if a conference or closing room was available and more.  All of this is possible with just a few mouse clicks using our calendar system.

They can set the system to send them text message or email reminders of events.

Best of all?  The calendar will sync with most smartphones including Blackberries and iPhones.

If your organization has marketing documents or forms accessible to agents, our File system allows them access to them 24x7x365 from any computer with an Internet connection.  So no longer do they need to come to the office to pick up forms or documents, they can now print from their home computer or even head to a local print shop if necessary.  With speed of contact becoming the number one reason why clients are chosing agents, the file system allows them to service the customer at a more rapid rate.

Share Level Settings

You can share documents on a company-wide, office wide, or even create your groups.

Another great aspect of the system is that your agents can even upload their own documents for safe keeping.  They will be the only ones with access to those files.

As a broker you can within a single screen see which of your listings have had changes for example those with price reductions, those that have gone pending, or even find listings about to expire.

This allows you to stay on top of the potential for lost or future business within your organziation.
