HomeTxt for Realtors: How It Works

HomeTxt for Realtors combines the best of two very important ingredients for a technology product: simplicity, and power. An HomeTxt for Realtors campaign can be up and running in just a few moments, yet it can handle any volume you can throw at it.

Step One: Registration

You will first need to establish a free account with HomeTxt for Realtors. This free account will allow you to develop instant text message campaigns whenever you want. To create this account, click on the "Create New Account" button on the website menu. The account form will ask you for the basic information, such as your name and address, and it will ask you for an email address. You will need to verify your email address, so please use a valid and regularly used email account. We will email you a connection / verification link to your email address that will allow you to complete your account registration.

Step Two: Create your campaign

Once you have successfully registered, you will then need to purchase text credits in order to create and edit property campaigns. There is no monthly commitment, no monthly cost, but you must have a positive text credit balance in order to work on your property campaigns and in order for your customers to receive property information back from you.

When you create an individual property campaign account, you will have a form with a number of clearly marked areas that you must complete. The basic business information from that you entered during registration will automatically pre-fill much of this form. You will be asked to complete the following:

1. Create a property keyword: A property keyword allows you to create a personalized word that your customers will connect with through a text message.

Example: You choose Cabin as a keyword. Your customers will then connect to your campaign by sending a message to short code number DOTORG (368674) and entering the message hometxt Cabin.

When you select a keyword for any campaign, it will automatically be verified to make sure it is not already in use by you or any other Realtor®. You will immediately be informed if the keyword you requested is not available, allowing you to choose another.

2. Text Message Responses: This will be the area you enter the appropriate information as responses to the text inquiries of your customers. This information will be entered in our easy to use text message response boxes in which you control the content. Our system automatically calculates the number of characters in your response keeping you from sending a message with too many characters.

You can set up additional property campaigns allowing you to react quickly to changes in the market, introduce new properties, test and compare different markets, and gauge consumer interest levels. If you're ready to get started, click on the New Account link to create your account and get your first campaign started! You'll be ready to go in less than five minutes!
