RISMEDIA, May 11, 2011—Continuing to expand its MLS footprint in the US real estate marketplace, Goomzee ®—a provider of mobile technology solutions for real estate professionals—recently announced it has agreed with Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) to provide its product, Realty Connect®, to their customers and revolutionize how Chicago area home-buyers and sellers access real estate listing information on their mobile phones. Goomzee’s text message marketing and lead generating QR code technology will be provided as a member benefit to MRED’s nearly 40,000 members, the company reported.
Goomzee’s Realty Connect helps connect buyers and sellers using mobile technologies and integrates with MLS data systems. Agents place signs or ads regarding a property for sale that prompts potential buyers to send a text message or scan a QR (Quick Response) graphic. Within seconds the buyer receives a response containing property information and pricing, and optional photos. At the same time, the agent is notified of the buyer’s inquiry. Automated tools then help the agent screen and cultivate those leads to establish a relationship with the buyer.
Russ Bergeron, CEO of MRED, says, “One mission of MRED is to provide our customers with the best tools and information available in the industry. Providing consumers with access to real estate listing information while on-the-go has become mission critical to support our members’ success, and Goomzee’s mobile solutions will improve our brokers and agents’ productivity, professionalism, and relationships with buyers and sellers.”
“We are excited to be chosen by MRED and look forward to adding further value and efficiency to their customers,” states Goomzee CEO, Mike Sparr. “By offering consumers instant access to the information they need using text messages, QR codes, and the mobile Web, agents can promote their listings to more potential buyers, cement their position as the trusted source of local real estate information, and close more transactions.”
With the addition of MRED as an MLS partner, Goomzee’s MLS partnership user footprint in the United States now exceeds 175,000 agent users. Goomzee’s mobile technology tools are available to real estate professionals nationwide and the company currently supports agent customers in 48 states.
