Many of us struggle to imagine the impact a new tool can have on our lives without seeing the tool in action. “Real estate texting service” exists only as an aspiration until an agent can witness how significant an effect it actually has on their daily schedule. When that happens, the tool becomes a necessity.
Because of this, we’ve interviewed our network of real estate agents and created a typical workday schedule for agents who use a text marketing tool and those who do not. We think you’ll find the contrast interesting!
