ViMO Introduces CRM Feature – Market Insights Report

Being that ViMO is our little brother we thought it prudent to dedicate this week’s blog content to a fantastic new feature that the ViMO team at Teranet rolled out this past month.

As you likely already know, ViMO is a mobile app for real estate that real estate sales professionals use to market listings, collaborate and manage relationships with prospects, clients and partners, administer documents, research properties – and oh, did we mention… market to customers??

Your marketing is your bread and butter and we know it, which is why the developers continually add and develop new ViMO features.

Introducing the Market Intelligence Report!!

Using the Market Intelligence Report you can create customized reports about industry news and neighbourhood sales activities that you can market to:

·         Prospects – generate leads

·         Clients – nurture leads

·         Partners/Colleagues/Referral Sources – generate new relationships!!

Only GeoWarehouse customers can register for ViMO – Visit myvimo.ca to learn more about the Market Insights Report or about the full capabilities offered by the full ViMO mobile app for real estate.

Did You Know Only GeoWarehouse Customers Can Use ViMO?

One of the major benefits of being a GeoWarehouse customer is that you have exclusive access to register for ViMO, Teranet’s mobile app for real estate.

While you can perform some of the same research on ViMO as you can on GeoWarehouse, such as looking at a property’s sales history, a neighbourhood’s demographics, generate sales comparables, or view who the legal owner is, there are some differences - here are some of the things that make each tool unique

GeoWarehouse – more of a research and due diligence tool

ü  Only GeoWarehouse has the GeoWarehouse Store which is where you can purchase Parcel Registers*, Instrument Images, surveys, condo status certificates, MPAC assessment reports and more…

ü  GeoWarehouse allows you to review a property’s financial standing

ViMO – more of a marketing tool

ViMO allows you to:

ü  Post and market your listings

ü  Remarket to customers using CRM light functions like the Market Insights Report

ü  Create and sign documents electronically

ü  Collaborate on a deal with clients and colleagues and more

GeoWarehouse and ViMO together are hands down the best real estate tool set available today. Most members of real estate boards are GeoWarehouse members. 

Contact the GeoWarehouse team at Teranet today to see if you qualify to register for ViMO by calling 1-866-237-5937.

GeoWarehouse + ViMO = Marketing and Due Diligence on Steroids

GeoWarehouse + ViMO, ViMO + GeoWarehouse, truly a match made in heaven and the best current toolset for Ontario real estate professionals.

GeoWarehouse – The premier, online due diligence tool for viewing property ownership history, comparable sales, value, home ownership, and registered mortgages, as well as obtaining condo certificates, surveys, Parcel Registers*, MPAC assessment reports and more… If there is a question on a deal, GeoWarehouse is likely able to answer it.

ViMO – The premier mobile app used to market listings, connect and collaborate with clients, colleagues and suppliers, view listings, comparable sales and other information about a property or neighbourhood, sign electronic documents, market to clients and more.

So, ViMO and GeoWarehouse together are a powerful combination and in fact you cannot have ViMO without GeoWarehouse.

In either scenario….

An offer is made

·         Now you can visit the client to review an offer. All documents can now be prepared/adjusted and signed electronically using ViMO. Any back and forth on counteroffers can occur electronically using ViMO.

The offer is finally accepted – now you have to move the deal through to closing.

·         The property is a condo so now you can go back into GeoWarehouse to obtain a condo status certificate and survey electronically to provide to the lawyer and to ensure that there will be no surprises related to the property on closing.

The deal continues to proceed to close.

·         Once with the lawyer, the lawyer advises you that there is a fresh lien filed against the property.

·         You contact the homeowner and they had no idea there was a lien and want more information. Now you go back into GeoWarehouse and using the registration number provided by the lawyer, you request an instrument image to learn all the lien registrant information. Phew – it turns out that the lien was from a debt that had been paid off so it can be discharged - crisis averted.

Your deal closes!

As you can see, ViMO and GeoWarehouse play an integral role in each step of the process of buying and selling a home and accessing both makes you agile, able to offer better, faster service and in the end makes you more competitive.

The Digital Open House

Smart phones, tablets and mobile apps have been a real game changer in real estate! The internet and web brought us online listings, MLS systems, online applications to perform due diligence and investigate properties, virtual tours and more…

Mobile technology however has brought us that much more capability. Selling real estate is a profession that has you on the road all the time. Lugging around a clunky laptop can be uncomfortable, never mind a portable printer. Mobile technology can cut down on trips to the office and make you extremely efficient.

As we watch the paper disappear, it becomes more and more prudent for real estate sales professionals to learn and share ideas about how they can do more digitally. The digital open house is a great example and really only requires a tablet and access to the ViMO app.

• When you run an open house you can use your tablet to not only show highlights with respect to the property and neighbourhood, but as real estate sales professionals representing buyers and buyers themselves come through your client’s property, you can create a profile for them in your ViMO app and electronically transmit all pertinent details on the property.

• If a buyer comes through your client’s property and is not interested, you can show them other properties in the area on your ViMO app and schedule a date to take them out to see those properties (assuming they are unrepresented).

You can literally answer any and all questions a buyer may have at the swipe of your tablet!

Be ready to get digitally connected! After adding a real estate sales professional on ViMO, ask them if they would like to connect on LinkedIn, or if a buyer, connect on Facebook.

Getting prepared for a digital open house:

• You will want to ensure that you have an iPad with your app loaded up.
• Practice the different criteria you will enter to generate information about the property – this way you appear confident when with the client.
• Ensure that there is Wi-Fi at the property. If there is not, have a contingency plan like setting up your smart phone as a mobile hotspot.

As of today, you may not be able to do away with paper entirely – not because you can’t but because the late adopters of the world may still want something to take with them, like a feature sheet. It is a good idea to print a few from GeoWarehouse to have out on the table. With that said, when running a digital open house, keep a tally of how many people want the information transmitted to them electronically versus in hardcopy format.

Moving towards running your open houses digitally will inevitably make you more competitive because you are capable of doing more, faster!

How GeoWarehouse & ViMO Complement Each Other?

We have to preface this by saying that GeoWarehouse and ViMO are not one and the same. ViMO is not the app version of GeoWarehouse. Both offer completely different capabilities and are used different ways – however using ViMO, you can perform some of the same capabilities you do on GeoWarehouse.

Here is a fun little table to help you understand some of the differences and nuances:

These don’t fully describe all the capabilities that GeoWarehouse and ViMO offer but are somewhat of a summary.  GeoWarehouse is a property search tool that supports your due diligence and ViMO is a tool to enhance your presentations and client experience while on the go. Both make you more agile and efficient. Used together GeoWarehouse and ViMO are the best toolset available on the market today for real estate sales professionals.

The beauty of mobile technology enables us to do so much more on the go. Now you have the opportunity to compliment what you have with GeoWarehouse by adding to the ViMO mobile app to your arsenal!

The Differences Between GeoWarehouse and ViMO and Why You Need Them Both

We have had so much positive feedback about the new ViMO (Virtual Mobile Office) product and also continual positive feedback about GeoWarehouse. We have also had some real estate sales professionals ask us if GeoWarehouse and ViMO are one and the same – or are they tools that complement one another? The answer is the latter – they are tools that complement one another. For this reason we decided to put together a little table to help you understand the commonalities and differences between the applications.

 

 

Having  both solutions gives you a powerful combination of both, access to reliable data and information; but also, to sales and marketing support tools that will make you better connected to opportunities, leading to more closed deals – whether or not you have time to go to the office.

Real Estate Sales Professional Says GeoWarehouse and ViMO Best Toolset!

We recently interviewed Paul Mangion, real estate sales professional from Axxess Realty, about what tools he uses most often when signing up a new client. While he mentioned using GeoWarehouse, MLS and even MPAC to perform various tasks relating to due diligence, one major thing was clear – the only  tool that enabled him to validate sales history information on a property and other properties, research property ownership information, search comparables, validate assessment values, generate reports and more, all in one place, was GeoWarehouse.

 

GeoWarehouse is a web-based, centralized property information source that provides state of the art mapping and research tools, as well as professional reports. GeoWarehouse services real estate sales professionals and other land professionals across Ontario. Using GeoWarehouse you can learn about a particular property, properties in a particular neighbourhood, property information such as ownership and sales history information, neighbourhood demographics information and more. You can also use the GeoWarehouse Store to dig deeper, accessing Parcel Registers, instrument images, Condo Status Certificates, surveys and more.

We also shared information with Paul about Teranet’s new mobile app for real estate sales professionals, ViMO is an amazing sales and marketing support tool that helps you close more business, enhancing your personal brand and enriching the face-to-face client experience.

“Things are changing faster than ever before. Real estate sales professionals have to adapt. The idea that Teranet has introduced an app that compliments GeoWarehouse so nicely is exciting. Knowing how I rely on GeoWarehouse, adding the app capability, it seems that GeoWarehouse and ViMO will be the best toolset out there for real estate sales professionals in Ontario.” This was Paul’s opinion after looking at what he currently has with GeoWarehouse and what he stands to gain by also having the ViMO app.

Paul closed our interview by sharing with us how excited he is about changes in technology and how they will positively impact his ability to offer a better service and ultimately do more business. For more information about GeoWarehouse or ViMO visit www.geowarehouse.ca or www.myvimo.ca.
