This might appear far-flung for some, but yes, the real estate industry is looking forward to having robots as helpers for the success of their various growth plans.
Robots have been used in several industries
for years now, including education, automotive, electronics manufacturing, welding and construction, medical, and even in law enforcement. The use of robotics automation has helped many companies bounce back from the Great Recession. It worked hand in hand with humans to get more work done in less time.
But what can robots do for the real estate industry? Can they take the place of humans in negotiating the sale of a property? Will they be able to perform all the grunt work that is required to make a sale and close deals? Below are some of the things that robotic automation can be of help to people in the real estate business.
Manage Communication with Clients
Home buying applications allow real estate agents to list their services and their available home for sale online. It also allows clients to find the property that is right for them, calculate mortgage payments, find reliable agents, and even e-sign certain types of required documents. These apps are not so different from the real estate robots that bridge the gap between agents and clients by giving them a platform to communicate seamlessly.
Robotic automation in real estate combines all means of communication between an agent and the clients in one place. It also automates responses, allowing clients to book viewings and appointments based on their preferred schedules.
Robotics automation likewise responds to the basic inquiries of the clients, allowing agents to have more time to perform other more important areas in their work instead of just spending their time answering client inquiries. Additionally, robots can send reports and reminders when needed.
Create Reports and Animated Videos
Not all agents are blessed with writing skills for creating outstanding reports. Likewise, most of them may lack the skill to create animated videos that are useful for their marketing campaigns. These deficiencies are nothing to worry about as any agent can now create reports and animated videos with ease with the help of robotic applications created especially for real estate agents.
With the help of these robots and applications, it is now possible for real estate agents to create awesome videos and reports within just minutes and share them easily across social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or in email newsletters and websites.
Clean Up and Organize Data
Some of the responsibilities of a real estate agent include boring, irritatingly detail-driven, repetitive tasks that are often inconsistent on how frequently they should be done. Mostly, agents get distracted while doing these tasks due to their excruciating dull nature, resulting in work done poorly. Robots have now been created to perform such tasks, and they have been found to be more accurate than humans because they do not get preoccupied with any type of distractions at all.
Robots can organize and clean up data, encode inquiries into CRMs, compare inquiries to names that already exist in the CRMs, respond to inquiries, send agents a list of leads, and provide advice on what topics should be talked about. Robots can have more jobs done in less time than humans in this aspect because they do not feel swamped with workloads, can work double without complaint, and can work for hours without ever having to take bathroom breaks.
Manage Rental Inspections
With this new innovation in the real estate industry, agents no longer have to be physically present to tour clients around a house or property that they want to see in person or inspect. Robots can do the booking, and they can schedule clients for a house or property tour. They can also greet and show the clients around, while the agent identifies for them the features of the house from the other side of the screen.
The agent can also answer questions virtually and fill up the required paperwork for those who want to proceed and buy the property. This way, negotiating and closing a deal with clients and giving them a peek of all the features of the property are now possible even without face-to-face interactions. Agents can now also make a sale and offer inspections even if they are physically absent from the premises.
The real estate industry is doing its best to offer the best services to clients and to offer more opportunities to agents through the use of robotics automation and many other internet applications. Another breakthrough in technology is expected from this industry in the coming years.
