Discover an Exciting App for Realtors: iovox

Iovox is a participant and sponsor in the Start Up Alley section at Inman Connect. The iovox app is a free tool that helps realtors sell more by doing more in less time and have access to vital information with just a few taps.

This free app helps agents and brokers run their entire real estate business right from within the app. Here are a few cool things that you can do:

  1. Tag, Notes and Search
    After each phone call (inbound or outbound), you can tag your calls with the details of your client’s requirements. Is the client buying or selling? Would she like to view homes in the suburbs or downtown apartments? Using tags can help you easily classify and sort the context of your calls.

     

    Iovox notes tags search

    Need to take more detailed notes about your deals such as the number of family members, preferences about the structure of a home, administrative fees, appraisal fee, whether it will be a loan transaction, what percentage rate a partner is asking for, etc.? You can keep notes directly in the app to include more specific details. No need to carry around a notebook or maintain a separate note-taking app.

    Then use the Search feature to find the perfect listings to match a client’s requirements.

  2. Follow Up on Time
    Real estate agents and brokers can flag calls and set reminders to make sure they take timely action. Stop losing deals because you followed up too late.

  3. Unlimited Call History and Records
    Unlike your phone, the iovox app gives you unlimited call history. Easily look up the details of your past conversations with clients without the hassle of manually entering data into a CRM.
  4. Collaborate with Your Team
    Real estate professionals can share their app notes with their team members as well as assign tasks to them directly through the iovox app. No need to take out time to send an email. The app also lets realtors have conversations with their teams with a Slack-like chat feature.

  5. Integrate with your CRM or Use iovox as your personal CRM
    Automatically capture all phone conversation records and call notes in your CRM through iovox’s integrations. If you don’t have a CRM or find them to be too complicated, you can use iovox as a personal CRM, keeping track of contacts, interactions, follow up items and seeing analytics on your call data.
