14 Things Real Estate Agents Can Do with Their Phone
Delight clients and do more business on the go
Discover how today’s real estate agents are transforming the way they close business and better serve their clients using mobile apps.
In your car, on the beach, even in the air at 30,000 feet, today’s real estate mobile app technology makes the complete end-to-end transaction happen.
With video, texting and special transaction features, mobile can help move your real estate business to the next level.
Capture Leads with Mobile Video
Research shows that video ads are twice as likely as static image ads to elicit emotional responses at faster exposure speeds.* Also, static-plus-video campaigns have been shown to result in a 17% higher conversion rate.**
VIDEO-TOUR YOUR LISTINGS
Try using video to take clients on a virtual listing tour in lieu of an open house. Many agents use live open house videos on Facebook to get more homes sold with multiple offers.
PAUSE AND FLIP
Dotloop integration partner BombBomb offers an iOS-enabled feature that lets agents pause and restart a recording in one, continuous clip. You can also flip from the front camera to the rear camera on the fly while recording.
MASTER YOUR TECHNIQUE
Shoot horizontally, especially if you’re going to post on YouTube, and use a stabilizer to avoid shaky video. Also, select an attention-grabbing, text-light still frame for your thumbnail, and use plenty of text captions, visuals and overlays to help underscore key features.
REPURPOSE VIDEOS
Once you capture your listings on video, make sure to download and repurpose on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and emails for targeted audiences.

Close Deals Using Text Messaging
Dotloop’s in-app text Messenger can be used at every point of the transaction journey from following up on a prospect you just met at an open house to eSigning documents. Best of all, Messenger helps to significantly increase your client response time.
CHECK IN CASUALLY
Try using a text as a way to check in with a friendly message and start a conversation after meeting a prospect for the first time or through a referral.
TEXT HOT LISTINGS
Dotloop’s in-app Messenger lets you text clients a loop doc showing the MLS picture of a listing. Or, take a screenshot of the property’s location on a map app, upload it to a loop and send the image in PDF format.
TEXT WHEN YOU NEED IT FAST
Texting within the dotloop mobile app is a great lifesaver for urgently needed eSignatures or to make offers on a desirable property in a tight market.
ASK FOR REFERRALS AND REVIEWS
Texting also provides a simple, casual way to ask a client who recently closed a deal for a review. Include a link to your website, or, if you offer a referral program, create a form template and share via text Messenger.
