The All-New Homesnap Pro is now LIVE!

We’re so excited to announce that the All-New Homesnap Pro is now LIVE for RMLS™ subscribers!

Homesnap has been conducting extensive research for the past three years on what technology real estate agents actually want, and now it’s providing it all in one easy-to-use app that’s deeply integrated with RMLS™.

RMLS™ agents have already had free access to Homesnap Pro as an included MLS benefit, but Homesnap just released the biggest update in its history, making it the only real estate search app you — and your clients — will need.

Remember: You must be
logged into your Homesnap Pro account to access these agent-only features.

With the All-New Homesnap Pro, agents can now:

Find seller leads before the competition

An essential part of being a listing agent is finding
seller leads, and now that’s easier than ever with new property heatmaps and filters
for your priority zips. Use the app’s new Likelihood to List scores to identify
the homes most likely to list in the next 12 months to improve your prospecting
with Homesnap’s predictive algorithms. You also have free access to unlimited
homeowner contact information, so you can instantly reach out to homeowners by
phone or email.

Help buyers find homes that aren’t even on the market yet

With the new Likelihood to List scores, you can
identify properties that match your buyers’ search criteria but aren’t on the
market yet. Pair their existing search filters with homes that are Most Likely
to List soon, and you can expand their home search in a snap. Knowing the
homeowner contact info from Homesnap, you can strike up a conversation with the
homeowner and see if they’d be interested in selling.

Seamlessly collaborate with clients

Make the home buying process a harmonic one. Invite your buyers onto Homesnap so you can exchange in-app messages and get alerts when they favorite properties. Homesnap is like a safe haven for your clients, because they can get the same search experience as other national sites, without seeing any third-party advertising. Instead, they just get a seamless search experience powered directly by RMLS™.

With these advanced filters, agents and their clients will soon be able to search for the ideal home with unmatched precision. Say your client wants a condo with a parking space and an outdoor pool, and is a 15-minute commute from their job. With the All-New Homesnap Pro, you can compound these stipulations into one search to find your client the perfect home.

If you don’t have the Homesnap app yet, download it in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Overwhelmed: Ask Technical Terry

Ask Technical Terry Silhouette

Ask Technical Terry is a series RMLS™ aims to offer once a month. RMLS™ subscribers will drive the content—submit any question about RMLS™ to Technical Terry in the comments or by emailing communications@rmls.com. Don’t be shy—we won’t identify you by name.

Dear TT,

RMLS™ has done a great job finding products that provide great benefit to its REALTOR® subscribers, but at times it seems like there are just too many options! It seems like we have new tools to learn on a daily basis. Just recently I went to a training session for a new product called Remine, and now I understand there is another product coming soon called Homesnap. Can you tell me why I would choose one over the other? What are the differences?

Overloaded in Orenco

Dear OO,

Understood completely! It’s not just you—it’s even a challenge for our support and training staff to keep abreast of the rapid pace of innovation around RMLS™ these days.

Here’s a brief overview of the products you mention above.

Homesnap Pro

Homesnap Pro combines agent-only MLS data on a web portal with a mobile app for use in the field.

  • Provides real-time information to agents on the go, giving them the flexibility to research homes, interact with each other, and collaborate with clients from their mobile devices. Agents and consumers can use the same platform to seamlessly share real estate information and communicate directly.
  • Additional features of Homesnap Pro include real-time access to agent-only MLS information, information about any home, messaging with clients and agents, customized email marketing, CMA generation from a mobile device, and information about other agents.

Remine

Remine provides some of the same capabilities as Homesnap, but it really excels more for data mining. This means Remine provides users the ability to “watch” homes, neighborhoods, and people to best understand market motivation. Users can use this data to scientifically allocate marketing efforts toward specific properties or people that indicate potential motivation.

Remine has three main components on its app: Discover, Track, and Engage.

  • Discover: This is the map, where you can use layers to narrow down properties you want to target and set up farming areas to find opportunities.
  • Track: This is the list of properties and people you’re tracking. You can upload contacts to track data that will help you prioritize who you should reach out to, and when to reach out. You can use this page to export spreadsheets to use for mailers, call lists, or email campaigns.
  • Engage: This is your client dashboard, where you can keep track of your clients’ activities, invite new clients, and manage your leads.

Both Homesnap and Remine provide great benefits, but they have different strenghts. Homesnap provides great tools to engage clients, and Remine specializes in farming activities. Both products have amazing support portals available, containing plenty of how-tos in both written and video formats, there to help you decide which might work best for you.

The RMLS™ trainers are developing classes for both products, so keep your eyes on your local training calendar in the coming months!

Hey Ask Technical Terry!

Homesnap seems like it’s going to be great for my workflow and working with my clients! My assistant told me that RMLS.com will be going away because of Homesnap—is this true?

Snappin’ for Homesnap

Hey Snappin’!

It is true: RMLS.com will redirect to Homesnap’s Broker Public Portal once RMLS™ rolls out the project on May 7th! We recently published a video about the change:

It’ll be a big change, but one that we think will better serve our REALTOR® subscribers and their clients. We can’t wait to hear what you think once Homesnap is live!

Homesnap Comes to RMLS™ on May 7th (Updated May 1, 2019)

Homesnap Landscape

There’s a lot to like about Homesnap, an app coming to RMLS™ subscribers on May 7th. RMLS™ subscribers will get free pro-level access to Homesnap, which includes features like a broker-client portal to facilitate communications about listings, unique client-facing materials, and convenient tools giving brokers access to a gold mine of aggregated data.

HOMESNAP FEATURES

Homesnap’s broker-client portal will facilitate communications about listings. Brokers and clients will be able to connect, access real-time data about RMLSweb listings, send specific listings to each other, and converse about all of it.

Brokers will be able to use Homesnap to generate specialized, branded market reports for clients, post branded ads on social websites, and even create Homesnap stories for your Homesnap listings.

If that’s not enough, Homesnap users will also have access to handy tools that utilize the wealth of Homesnap’s aggregated data to make their job easier. Homesnap can guide users in walking a property line, using augmented reality technology. The app may even be used to research information about off-market listings if needed.

RMLS.COM BECOMES HOMESNAP

Homesnap will replace RMLS.com, the website that currently provides public access to RMLSweb listings. Once Homesnap is launched, the RMLS.com URL will redirect automatically to Homesnap. Leads generated through Homesnap public access will be passed to RMLS™ subscribers at no cost.

MORE COMING SOON

Look for more information about Homesnap from RMLS™ closer to the launch date on May 7th. In the meantime, Homesnap is offering training in May to give brokers a head start on using this exciting new platform. Register for one of the following training options:

RMLS™ is excited to offer Homesnap access at a pro level to all subscribers, and we think you’ll be as excited about its capabilities as we are. As we approach the launch date, keep your eye out for more details from RMLS™.
