Just about a year ago, I wrote about a phone app called Homesnap and suggested that you go get it. You can read that article here: https://realtytechbytes.com/the-most-addictive-real-estate-app/ and I suggest that you click on the link and go do so right now.
And then come back because I just discovered a game changing feature of Homesnap that will give you a secret edge to find homeowners likely to list in whatever neighborhood that you choose!
HomeSnap comes in three editions. There is a free version that any one can get. The links to the iPhone App store and the Google Play store (for Android phones) are in the article referenced above.
If the MLS that you belong to has entered into an agreement with HomeSnap, you can also get the Homesnap Pro edition. This edition has a ton of features that will simply blow you away. And, this version is also free.
The third edition is the HomeSnap Pro + Edition. This edition builds on the first two and adds a ton of features that will help you grow your business. This edition is $599.00 per year, but during the Covid-19 crisis, they are offering a $500.00 discount which means that the top of the line edition is only $99.00!
If you go here: https://www.flipsnack.com/homesnap/homesnap-pro-feature-list/full-view.html you can see a comparison of all three editions. It’s worth a look.
Although there are many cool features, one in particular stands out for me. Using the app you can find homes that are likely to be listed in the near future! Homesnap uses a combination of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning to make this prediction. The good news is that this is offered to you for free in the HomeSnap Pro edition (If your MLS partners with HomeSnap).
So here is how I would use this. Say that you have a buyer looking for a particular type of home. You know where homes like they are looking for can be found, but none are currently listed for sale. All you need to do is to go the neighborhood in question, open the Homesnap app and point the camera at ANY house and use the Likelihood to List function to identify homes that might list. The app will give you the owners name, and any phone numbers and email addresses and SOCIAL Media contact info that it can find. All you have to do is to reach out to the owner and prospect them with a postcard or letter as you would normally do in hopes of creating a relationship that could lead to a listing.

In my opinion, if you aren’t dropping everything right now and downloading this app you are wasting time and money. This is free. It has a ton of other useful apps that can help your business. Did I mention that it is free?
