Why use Rea Bot

The advantages of using Rea Bot

Immediate responses. Rea can answer your queries immediately via a website, messenger, or social media, like Facebook. Rea will help you identify your needs and ensure more productive and focused viewings with a human agent.

Availability 24/7. Unlike real estate agents, who might not be available throughout the day, Rea Bot provides you with information outside of working hours. Besides, Rea can help speeding up response times and answering up to 80% of routine questions.

Personalized offers. You, like all customers, are looking for different types of homes and property types. Rea provides you with a series of questions to come up with more relevant offers, which is more effective than collecting information via physical copies or forms.

Improved qualifying. Rea can qualify potential properties by comparing them with other properties you liked and assigning them relevance scores. In this way, you will receive only highly qualified properties – as they become available – based only on what interests you, not what human agents wants to sell.

Automated scheduling. When you are happy with the properties suggested you can schedule home viewings via Rea. In addition, if needed, Rea can introduce you to a human real estate agent for more detailed communication.

Effective follow-ups. Rea will not forget you. To make sure you meet your goal, Rea will continue to send follow-ups to you via the medium you choose – including email, social media, messengers, or even SMS – until you decide to “unsubscribe”
