Banks ditch costly real estate investments for tech operations

2021-11-08T06:27:00.001-08:00

• Why 234 branches, 649 ATMs were shut down last year
• Decommissioned property litter Lagos, other cities

There are indications that Nigerian banks are rapidly cutting back on office space in major cities as they shift administrative functions to high-tech operations.

The Guardian gathered that with increasing number of staff working from home in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic, banks are exploring technology options that will limit crowd at their halls and reduce overhead on yearly real estate costs.

Though, the square feet of office space shed by banks are yet to be determined, reports revealed that prior to the pandemic, space taken up by commercial offices in 2019 was in excess of 20,100 square metres.

But a report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), last week, disclosed that Nigerian banks closed 234 branches and 649 Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in 2020 leading to a decline in the country’s Financial Access Score (FAS) to 4.44 last year against 4.78 in 2019.

The global financial body disclosed this in its Financial Access Survey (FAS) 2021 Trends and Developments. IMF is known to utilise two FAS indicators to monitor Target 8.10 of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aims to increase domestic financial institutions’ capacity to promote access to banking and financial services.

The number of commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults and the number of ATMs per 100,000 adults are the two commonly used FAS indicators.

According to details from the report, Nigeria experienced reductions in these two crucial FAS indicators as well as 12 other FAS indicators out of a total of 64 used.

The financial body stated that these reductions were due to a drop in the number of commercial bank branches in Nigeria from 5,392 in 2019 to 5,158 in 2020.

Similarly, the fall in the number of bank branches led to a drop in the number of ATMs in Nigeria by 649, leading to an average of 18,810 ATMs in 2020 from 19,459 in 2019. This also led to the country’s financial access score falling to 17.19 in 2020 from 16.14 in 2019 in terms of the number of ATMs per 100,000 adults.

Amid other economic shocks, the devastating effects of the pandemic led to banks in Nigeria temporarily or permanently shutting down their branches as the virus forced people to remain indoors and adopt remote models.

The rapid reductions in bank branches and ATM points alike are also due to the rising use of digital and mobile banking solutions.

Instant payment yearly statistics for 2020 released by the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) shows that mobile transactions in Nigeria (mobile & USSD) surged in 2020.

These payments witnessed an 82.6 per cent growth at a transaction value of 1.69 billion compared to the 928.86 million they recorded in the previous year.

Point of Sale (POS) usage statistics from NIBSS also put the volume of POS transactions for 2020 at 77 million, a nearly 40 per cent increase from the 46 million transactions recorded for 2019.

Basically, Nigerians are rapidly moving towards more contactless and digital modes of transaction and this is taking its toll on traditional banks. One of its effects is the declining number of bank branches and ATMs across the country.

The Guardian gathered that with the new normal and the banks joining global shift that has permanently change ways bankers work, it is becoming clear that the 2,000 – 5,000 square metres of office space, sometimes, on two to three floors, is no longer necessary.

As more digital and personalised financial services continue to spring up, more people would find less need to visit physical branches. Thus, there could be continuous drop in number of ATMs.

The new development has made banks to now outfit new operations centres with technologies, such as videoconferencing and electronic messaging, that they had historically been slow to adopt.

They are also tailoring their offices with more recent advancements, such as distributed ledger, data analytics and cloud-based computing, all of which are helping them automate tasks that employees once handled manually.

Currently, apart from physical bank branches where savings are held, customers are being asked to enroll in mobile banking and other models that enhance services. ATM is now a must for most customers that withdraw some specific amounts.

Specifically, professional estate agents known as estate surveyors and valuers, confirmed that some banks are still decommissioning branches to optimise their portfolios, while a handful of them are also opening new locations for ATM centres to solve complex issues and providing digital solutions.

They said downsizing by financial institutions have been a huge setback for the Nigeria office market, which has witnessed increase in vacancy rate. The rebound for Grade A office buildings were still expected due to the sluggish economy and COVID-19 pandemic.

A report by Ubosi Eleh and Company predicted that “the growth of commercial real estate will slow down or be challenged in 2021 and possibly another near year or two going forward, sales values or speed will be low.”

The Guardian investigations revealed that presently, decommissioned branches adorn major cities, especially Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Borno and Port Harcourt. The insecurity in some parts of the country has also made some banks to abandon their branches.

It was further learnt that reducing office space usually happens slowly as many leases run for ten years or even longer and terminating agreements ahead of time can trigger steep compensation payments, if the buildings are not rented.

The immediate past chairman, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Mr. Gbenga Ismail, told The Guardian, the change started years ago when the physical planning law restricted banks to 1000sqm, which stopped the voracious expansion of branches.

“It was further compounded by technology and agency banking. A bank can operate on less than 10sqm today. The implication of all these is that demand for bank specific real estate has gone down and impacted non-city locations and rural-urban areas.

“Between 2000 to 2007 land prices went up because of bank expansion and those who owned properties or land with bank specifications hit gold. Today, there are no renewals, expansions and purchases. There is now a glut of bank branches looking for new takers,” he said.

The Managing Partner, Ubosi, Eleh and Company, Mr. Chudi Ubosi, said: “Indeed banks have reduced the amount of new offices and branches they are opening. Its impact on real estate can be seen in the number of bank branch buildings that are currently vacant.

“Many banks don’t need as much space anymore and even as many staff. Technology is causing major rationalisation in space and labour needs. When you see a large bank branch of 400m2/500m2, they are probably using only 40 per cent of the space.

“The rest is dedicated to storage or left vacant for future expansion or needs. The reason why they do this is because for security reasons most banks cannot share space with other businesses so they would rather stay on their own.”

Ubosi, who was the former president, Africa region, International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI), said these vacancies have not impacted on prices. “Rental and capital values have maintained their upward climb or stability. I believe that with time the banks will find use for current vacant structures. Many would be sold out to interested parties. There are some that would for strategic reasons not be sold and kept for future use,” Ubosi said.

The estate surveyor and valuer stated some banks might donate or offer some decommissioned branches to states, other levels of government and departments to provide social services as part of their corporate social responsibility.

The Former Chairman, Faculty of Estate Agency, Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV), Mr. Sam Eboigbe, noted that there is always boom in the real estate sector during network expansion of banks centred on acquisition of locations for banking and other related purposes.

“Conversely, the sector is bound to experience some level of voids due to decision of some banks to close down some offices and halt acquisition of fresh office spaces.

“More so, that the structure of these properties have been significantly altered, it becomes cumbersome initiating and concluding offerings, lettings and leasing of such properties that have been vacated,” Eboigbe said.

According to him, the situation is compounded, as there is glut in the commercial property sector due to global acceptance of working from home culture and lifestyles. “The properties vacated by banks will accordingly, increase the volume of voids in the office buildings in the real estate sector.”

Similarly, Eboigbe said the introduction of ATMs, on-line banking and host of other digital innovations have really brought revolution that it is now fully certain that there will continue to be systematic reduction in the volume of physical space that the banks will require.

“It is certain that banks deployment of technology in their operations have continued to discourage massive physical presence of customers at bank locations.

“It means the desire or request for physical space for expansion will be eroded. And in this arrangement, it is evident that banks’ interest in subsequent renewals upon expiration of their tenure is doubtful,” he added.

Best Real Estate Software: 29 Game Changers for Agents & Teams

2020-04-12T06:53:00.001-07:00

Whether you’re running a top producing team or just starting out, having the best real estate software at your disposal will put you well ahead of other agents.

Is this finally the year that the real estate industry gets the disruptive tools and apps that other industries enjoy?

Read on to check out our 29 top picks for the best time saving, lead generating, and innovative real estate software:

1. BoldLeads

If you haven’t been paying attention, you may have missed the exciting new technology that BoldLeads is offering today’s agents.

Instead of just sending you a list of leads, they offer A/B tested seller lead generation landing pages, an integrated CRM, and automated email and text messaging to connect with leads when they expect it—instantly.

You can even leave stealth voicemails (open rates are an order of magnitude higher than email), create follow up funnels, and integrate with your favorite CRMs like Contactually, Top Producer, Wise Agent, and more.

Even better, BoldLeads integrates with Could CMA so you can automatically send your leads gorgeous, accurate CMAs on demand.

They also offer free onboarding, daily training classes, and an exclusive Facebook Mastermind group just for BoldLeads users.

2. Propertybase

When it comes to real estate software, you might have noticed that every tech company wants to be a one-stop-shop. Propertybase actually is one.

First and most importantly, it has a Salesforce-based CRM that knocks the basic CRM features out of the park. Leads can be sent into Propertybase from pretty much anywhere, and can be segmented, set up on drip campaigns, and endlessly sliced and diced to match people with properties quickly and easily.

Beyond the CRM, Propertybase has a powerful website builder to drive your lead generation. Once your leads are coming in, use its customizable dashboard to divide farm areas and nurture leads toward the sale. You can try Propertybase for yourself with a free demo.

3. Revaluate

While terms like predictive analytics and AI have been floating around the industry for a few years now, only a handful of companies touting these advances live up to the hype. Revaluate is one of them.

Revaluate leverages techniques from artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data to analyze data from past and current events to predict future events. In simpler terms, they use super smart software that sifts through millions of pages of data to figure out when someone will move.

As if this wasn’t enough to pique your interest, they also use that same software to reinvigorate all the old, cold, dead leads in your CRM. Once they flag someone in your database, you can call them up for a coffee or beer instead of sending the same old drip emails that always wind up in their promotional folder anyway.

Even better, you’ll be able to pitch them WAY before they start looking on portals or Googling about how much their home is worth. Actually, they won’t have to since you’ll have already given them a detailed CMA!

4. Placester

In 2020, you have no shortage of options when looking for a quality real estate website builder.

But if your website isn’t generating leads, it isn’t doing its job. That’s why Placester almost always makes it to the top of list when we review the best website builders for agents.

Placester is IDX-focused, mobile responsive, and built with SEO friendliness in mind so your visitors will find it easy to navigate. We like their clean templates, plus helpful features like pre-written content library and lead capture forms.

If you’re a member of NAR, you qualify for a Placester website complete with an IDX feed and basic lead capture options for just $99 per month.

5. REDx + Storm Dialer

If you’re trying to cold call (you should in this market) without using an auto dialer like Storm Dialer, you’re leaving money on the table. Period.

First, there’s just no way you’re going to keep up with the volume of numbers you need to dial, not to mention dealing with voicemails, hang ups, or wrong numbers. Second, stopping to dial your phone every 30 seconds will slow you down to a crawl and kill your momentum.

So if you want to start cold calling FSBOs, expireds, or just want to effectively circle prospect around a listing, then you owe it to yourself to set up REDx + Storm Dialer.

Visit REDx+Storm Dialer

6. Freshchat

Let’s face it. When it comes to technology, real estate is a few years behind many other industries. We’re just … a little slow to adopt the latest tech. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Right?

Well, no. When it comes to your website, you owe it to yourself (and your bank account) to invest in the latest technology to turn site visitors into leads. In 2019 that means you need to connect with them instantly.

Freshchat, advanced chat software that you can easily plug into your website, lets you do just that. It gives your site visitors exactly what they want; instant gratification!

You can have it ping your phone whenever someone has a question, or better yet, easily program a chat bot to engage them until they’re ready to talk to you.

Best of all, Freshchat is FREE for the basic chat features, and only $15—$39 per month for advanced AI chat bots, multi-language support, file attachments, and more.

Visit Freshchat

7. Grasshopper

As far as things that can drive you crazy go, mixing business and pleasure is at the top of the list. In fact, study after study shows that “multitasking” not only doesn’t work, but will leave you more stressed out, less organized, and well, more miserable. It’s just not worth it. Especially in 2019 since phone technology has finally caught up with the way Realtors work.

Instead of using the same phone number for calls and texts from your significant other AND panicked clients, you can quickly and easily set up multiple phone numbers with Grasshopper. For example, you could set up one phone number for your print ads, one for website leads, and one for your yard signs. Or, what about using different numbers for buyers and sellers, or old clients and new clients?

Even better, if you’re running a team or just want to fake it until you make it, you can use Grasshopper to set up multiple extensions for junior agents, assistants, etc. You can also reply to texts from your laptop, make calls over VoIP and Wi-Fi, and get voicemails transcribed so you can see important missed calls at a glance.

8. First.io

First.io is another real estate software platform to take advantage of predictive analytics. Here’s Minnesota Realtor and team leader Brandon Doyle on why he loves First.io:

“First appointments leverages predictive analytics to identify people whom are most likely to move within your database. The app allows users to select contacts to be added to an appointments queue, from there the appointments scheduler calls the list and schedules one-on-one meetings. All of the details are managed through the app and are synced into your calendar.”

9. Cloud MLX

One of the most common complaints I hear from newer Realtors is that their MLS interfaces look and feel like they were built in 1994. Tiny fonts, dozens of tiny checkboxes and dropdown menus, and a design aesthetic that screams AOL 95. Blah.

Want to know why? Your MLS doesn’t have the time, resources, or expertise to design and build sleek, modern tools to access their treasure trove of data. That’s where companies like W+R Studios come in.

Its Cloud MLX app sits right on top of your MLS and gives you a Google-like way to access that data faster, easier, and without the headaches.

During a recent chat with W+R CEO Greg Robertson, he let me in on the mantra that helps them make such innovative software: Make it simple, make it elegant, and make it easy to use. Cloud MLX nails all three and then some.

Even better, Cloud MLX is designed to work seamlessly with the other apps in their Cloud Agent Suite; Cloud CMA, Cloud Attract, and Cloud Streams.

The whole package together gives agents a formidable arsenal of tools for searching your MLS, buyer and seller lead generation, lead nurturing with gorgeous listing updates, and finally powerful listing presentation software to seal the deal.

10. Salesforce

If you’re looking for a rock solid CRM that can grow with you from solo agent, to team, to brokerage, then Salesforce can have a huge ROI. After all, a stunning 83% of all Fortune 500 Companies use Salesforce. If you want to get serious about growing your sales like the pros, then you owe it to yourself and your team to check out Salesforce.

Best of all, Salesforce Essentials starts at just $25 per month, and includes a ton of flexibility right out of the box including Appexchange, which offers more than 3,400 pre-built apps, flows, and components to fully customize your CRM as you grow. You can try Salesforce free for 14 days.

11. Buffer (Social Media Scheduling Tool)

If you’ve already dipped a toe into social media only to get turned off by the constant demand to post, then Buffer is for you. Do you want to reach your Twitter followers at 7:30 a.m. even on days you sleep in? Want to send out that infographic to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, AND Instagram with one click?

Buffer lets you figure out what times and type of content your leads on each platform respond to, then helps you create a posting calendar loaded with content. Once you have your calendar ready to go, you can sit back and let the likes, pins, and retweets come rolling in.

Did I mention Buffer is free for up to three social accounts and 10 scheduled posts?

12. Homesnap (Buyer Collaboration Tool)

Let’s face facts. Email is dying. In some tech offices, email has been almost entirely replaced with Slack, IM, or video conferencing. Homesnap lets you give your clients an awesome home search experience and notifies you when they like a property.

You can also get deep dive property info and even build free CMAs for your listing pitches.

Here’s Nikki Banks, Realtor for Keller Williams Excellence, Maryland, on how she uses Homesnap to collaborate with buyers:

“Since it’s linked directly with the MLS, the information about the house status is in real time. You can invite your clients to join the app and when they like something you are notified immediately. For your clients it gives information about what schools are in the areas and what other homes are for sale in a particular school zone.

You can send them any new listings in their chosen area that you’ve come across and reach out to the listing agent with questions that you or your client may have on the spot. Not to mention the ability to create a CMA (comparative market analysis ) for your clients right from the app. If all of that weren’t great enough, you’re able to book a showing, map how to get there and share the directions.”

13. Spacio (Open House Sign-in App)

Sick of smudged and unreadable sign-in sheets at your open houses? Join the 21st century and download Spacio. Spacio offers an intuitive and easy to setup digital sign-in sheet that you can set up on your tablet or phone to make sure you never miss a lead.

Even better, Spacio offers email automation to follow up with leads instantly and then plug them into your CRM for nurturing. You can also produce reports your seller or broker will love, and organize feedback to present to them after your open house.

Visit Spacio

14. Focus Booster (Pomodoro Timer)

Have you ever sat down to write ad copy or put together a CMA and looked up to see that it’s four hours later and you’ve got nothing done? It doesn’t matter how much time you devote to a project, but how much time you spend FOCUSED on that project …

If you constantly find yourself putting in long hours but not getting good results, you might be a candidate for the Pomodoro Technique.

Here’s how it works:

Instead of giving yourself a few hours or (even worse) an unlimited amount of time to work, Pomodoro makes you limit your work to just 25 minutes.

After that 25 minutes, no matter what you have cooking, you take a five minute break. When you complete four Pomodoro cycles of 25 minutes of work split by five minute breaks, you take a real, 15-20 minute break to eat lunch, chat with coworkers, or head out for coffee.

Thousands of creative workers and software engineers swear by Pomodoro, (including me) and the short bursts of focused work seem to limit distractions and increase productivity.

You can even try it when cold calling.

While all you really need to use the Pomodoro technique is a timer (preferably shaped like a tomato, hence the name) apps like Focus Booster give you a timer and even analytics to track your progress.

15. kvCORE (Lead Generation, CRM)

One of the early movers in the all-in-one real estate lead generation and CRM platforms, Inside Real Estate’s kvCORE platform is finally ready for its close-up. Its team-focused platform boasts lead generation, a robust CRM with AI features like behavioral lead response, text messaging, and even an auto dialer.

Here’s Keyes Company Chief Information Officer Wendi Iglesias on the benefits of the new kvCORE platform:

“We have many systems for lead generation, lead nurturing, customer management, and transaction management that all work together to increase productivity of our associates and deliver a best in class customer experience. Right now, we have a large focus on social connections and behavioral automation. We are actively looking for connections with buyers and sellers via social media using tools like Flipt, Buyside, and Quantum Digital Trigger Marketing, working to bring them valuable information they need via the medium they wish to have it delivered with systems like Buyside, Real Scout, and VoicePad; and guiding them through the transaction with all the digital and non-digital expertise it takes for a successful transaction. We believe that it is both stellar service and high-tech tools that bring the best customer experience.”

16. HouseCanary (Home Valuation and Price Prediction Tool)

Like AI, predictive analytics has been an unavoidable buzzword for real estate software lately. While there are a ton of fakers out there (we won’t name names) who claim to use predictive analytics to parse real estate data, HouseCanary actually does. And it’s a game changer.

HouseCanary’s home valuations are based on dozens of data points both public and private, and instead of going back a year or two, actually consider trends from the past few decades when coming up with their valuations. Think of it as Zestimates with a brain transplant … on steroids.

While HouseCanary’s valuations are the most accurate many in the industry have seen, they’re not out to replace agents anytime soon. In fact, they offer affordable valuations that you can use to supplement your own hard work.

17. Structurely (AI Chatbots, Lead Qualifying)

AI chatbots have been threatening (not in a Skynet sense, but you get the idea …) to “disrupt” real estate lead nurturing for a long time now. The only problem is that the vast majority of solutions on offer weren’t quite ready for prime time. They were clunky, slow, or too robot-like to be useful.

Structurely’s AI chatbot Aisa (Artificial intelligence Sales Agent) Holmes allows you to qualify your web leads while you’re out showing and pitching.

It also talks to a ton of your favorite lead gen/CRM platforms like Real Geeks, BoomTown, Kunversion, Placester, and more.

18. Amitree Folio (Super Lightweight Transaction Management)

Amitree’s Folio has always been the well-kept secret weapon of many newbie agents. After all, it’s free, sits right on top of Gmail, and offers some pretty amazing transaction management and organization tasks for busy Realtors.

Even better, Sand Hill Road has taken notice. Amitree recently closed a $7 million round of funding to build out more functionality into an already fairly robust platform. Get on board while it’s still free!

19. Contact Junkie (Automated Outreach Tool)

When it comes to outreach automation software, there are two types of agents. Those who will get a ton more leads using it, and everyone else. Cold callers are using dialing software like REDX’s StormDialer or Mojo, or they’re getting left in the dust. Advanced CRMs like Propertybase are making manual texting and email obsolete, and even the old fashioned voicemail is being automated by apps like Slydial.

Contact Junkie takes all of that potential automation and wraps it up into one neat package for agents and teams. The app will automatically reach out to your leads with voicemail, text, and email, and will stop once contact is made.

Even better, Contact Junkie integrates with BombBomb, Real Geeks, Pipedrive, and even Slack.

20. Grammarly (Writing Assistant)

Let’s eat Grandma! … Let’s eat, Grandma!

Two sentences, only one will get you disinvited from next year’s Thanksgiving dinner.

The Grandma-safe version uses what’s called the oxford comma, something a grammar app like Grammarly will spot and suggest for you.

Yuo cna aslo porbalby raed tihs esaliy desptie teh msispeillgns rhigt?

Your leads probably can too, but are they going to call you back?

Better not risk it in that pitch email.

Grammarly checks your grammar, spelling, and even sentence structure and style for free.

21. Feedly (Media Aggregator)

Since some people spend their entire careers following and writing about real estate news, catching up with the latest can be a full-time job.

Since you don’t have time to read the Wall Street Journal, The Real Deal, The New York Times, and your local paper every morning, Feedly can help.

Enter in a few websites or news categories you want to follow and Feedly sends you a nice curated list of the top stories every day.

Combine this with Buffer and your leads will think you have a full-time editorial staff finding them the best articles.

Not bad huh?

Feedly is also FREE.

22. Avochato (Text Messaging Software)

If you want your team to double down on text messages this year (and why wouldn’t you?), you need to check out the latest text messaging software like Avochato. Avochato gives agents, ISAs, or other team members a fully featured desktop dashboard to text with many leads and clients at once.

You can access easy-to-use message templates, send texts one-to-many, and of course click-to-dial for hot leads or clients that need extra help. It also gives you 10 unique phone numbers so you can easily segment leads from online sources, signage, open houses, etc.

23. NodalView (3D Tour Software)

Let’s face it, it was only a matter of time until someone figured out how to shrink down a Matterport 3D camera into your smart one. Well, that’s not exactly true. The technology has been there for a while, but it was always a pain to use so busy agents shied away.

NodalView lets agents use their own smartphone, and a few smart odds and ends like a wide-angle lens attachment in order to create their own 3d tours to give the other 3D tour companies a run for their money.

For a few hundred bucks and a plan starting at $59 per month, you can start making as many 3D tours as you want. With a team plan, you can use up to five devices at once, effectively making 3D tours for large apartment complexes not only a reality, but something you could knock off in an afternoon.

24. Dotloop (Transaction Management Software)

Although the competition was fierce, it looks like Dotloop has come out on top for the best real estate transaction management software for another year.

If your office doesn’t offer real estate software like Dotloop along with your other perks, then it might make sense to jump in and track your deals with Dotloop.

Did we mention the industry leading transaction management platform is now FREE for individual agents?

25. Expensify (Expense Recording app)

Instead of a shoebox, I had a manila folder stuffed with receipts for yellow cabs, lunches, printing, and printouts of my (enormous) Uber bills. Needless to say, come tax time I’m ankle deep in paper and miserable.

Smarter agents use expense tracking software like Expensify. Expensify automatically scans and tags your receipts so you don’t have to.

This way in April you have everything organized and ready for your accountant to scrutinize.

26. Top Producer

One of the earliest real estate specific CRMs designed by true pioneers in real estate software, Top Producer dominated the market for years. The only problem is that even though it offered similar features to newer CRM offerings, Top Producer kept using the same dated interface that looked more like windows 95 than the cutting edge real estate toolkit it actually was. Many users suffered in silence, but many more moved on to different products that took the time to design a nice space for agents to spend time.

Luckily, Top Producer went back to the drawing board and totally revamped its flagship CRM to compete with the new kids on the block. Gone is the pixelated, 1990s looking interface, which has been replaced with a fresh, clean, and yes, pleasant interface that provides agents a nice place to spend hours per day. The CRM wars are heating up, so expect to see more features, nicer designs, and hopefully better pricing in this sector.

27. Flipt

With the slow throttling of targeting options on Facebook, many Realtors are looking elsewhere to market their business and generate leads. One often overlooked option is the Google display network, which offers advertising space on millions of apps across the country. The ads you might see on The New York Times app are just one example. The only problem was that these ads were hard to target, and really only worked well for branding and not lead generation.

However, new real estate technology companies like Flipt are using AI technology to find and target app users who are going through life changes like moving or getting married and offers agents advertising space to reach these people in your ZIP code.

28. Lucidpress

While there are a ton of places online that offer editing software for Realtors to create mailers, and social media graphics, there is something to be said for options that are tailored for Realtors. Lucidpress is one option that might help agents, teams, and small brokerages keep a consistent look and feel for marketing materials produced by multiple agents.

They also offer tricks like smart fields which allow agents to create multiple documents and have them auto-populate with certain information like listing addresses, name, brokerage etc.

29. Jigglar

If you have a little more money to spend, then Jigglar might be another option for a real estate specific replacement for online graphic design software like Canva. What we like about Jigglar is that the templates are great and look very professional and designed for and by real estate professional to convert. Remember that beautiful graphic design does not always translate into conversions though. Sometimes, garish layouts and designs can get your phone to ring more than a slickly designed postcard. Jigglar has a nice mix of templates that just seem to fit the bill for active real estate agents.

There. Now you have no excuse to stay disorganized!

Respond promptly to leads

It makes you more reliable when you respond to leads early. Be it via phone calls, emails, text messages, or social media. This will also make you open for more opportunities. so, when you are contacted, respond as soon as possible.

Technology

In this age of remarkable technological advancement, you won’t be doing yourself any good by not leveraging on the available tools. There are many things you can do. Make YouTube videos if you have to, pay for advertisements, have active social media accounts. Just do all you can to put yourself out there.

Also, as a professional real estate agent, you should understand the local housing market and pricing strategy. It will also be of advantage if you can carve a niche for yourself in the local real estate market that allows you to distinguish yourself from the competition. This will help in keeping you focused.

Be Reliable

Listen to your clients and find the properties that they want. Some clients just want what they want, notwithstanding the amount it will cost them. Knowing they can afford it does not mean the agent should cheat on them by hyping the price. This makes you unreliable. Same applies to their preferences on location and structures. As a property agent, your reputation is as good as you make it.

Pay attention to your clients

In advising your clients when you think they are about to make a wrong decision, you should be polite about it. Never be rude, no matter what. Also, listen to your clients and have great conversations. It’s wrong to interrupt.

Be professional

Have a business card so you can easily give it to potential clients. If you are an independent agent, you should also have an office to work and meet with clients. It’s all part of branding and it will help with how seriously you are taken, and in getting referrals from people.

Care

People know when a person truly cares about them. The relationship with your clients is professional, but also, try to show in little things and ways that you are concerned about their well-being. A client should not tell you they are sick and you won’t at least make a phone call, or send them a message.

Is Real Estate a Good Investment?

2020-02-12T01:09:00.004-08:00

Real estate is generally a great investment option. It can generate ongoing passive income and can be a good long-term investment if the value increases over time. You may even use it as a part of your overall strategy to begin building wealth

However, you need to make sure you are ready to start investing in real estate. For one, you will need to put down a significant amount of money upfront to begin real estate investing. Buying a home apartment complex, or piece of land can be expensive. That’s not to mention the ongoing maintenance costs you’ll be responsible for, as well as the potential for income gaps if you are between tenants for a time.

Here’s what you need to know about investing in real estate and if it’s the right choice for you.

Pay With Cash

Many financial experts warn against borrowing money to purchase investments. You should consider this before you purchase a piece of investment real estate. If you can’t afford to pay cash for the home, at the very least, you should be able to afford the mortgage payments, even without rental income.

Think about it: With renters, there can be high turnover. You may also experience a time where you have no renters at all for the property. If you can’t afford the mortgage payment without the rental income, it may end up being more of a financial burden, rather than a means of building wealth. Plus, if you can’t pay the mortgage, it could end up damaging your credit, which will cost you money in the long run.

2. Plan out All of Your Expenses

When purchasing real estate for investment purposes, you need to consider the cost of taxes, utilities, upkeep, and repairs. Often it is easier to go through a rental company and have them handle things like repairs and rent collection. While this will cost money, it will help ease the burden of owning a rental property. Especially if you don’t have time to do everything that needs to be done at your property, using an agency is a good option.

You need to price your rental property so that all of these fees and other expenses are fully covered. Additionally, you should take the first few months of surplus money and set it aside to cover the cost of repairs on the property. It’s also important to have insurance on the property (and plan for the cost). You should also be prepared to deal with additional costs and other situations as they arise, perhaps with a sinking fund for the property.

3. Research the Property Carefully

If you are purchasing land that you plan to sell at a later date, you need to research the land deed thoroughly. Find out if any new roads are planned close to the land you purchase and consider how that will affect the property value. Also, be sure there isn’t a lien on the property. You may also want to consider things like the comparables in the neighborhood, including whether the area is up-and-coming, and other external factors that could affect the property value.

Once you have done your research, you should be able to make the correct decision about purchasing it as an investment. Investing is always a risk, so keep that in mind. You may make money on your investment, but you could lose money as well. Things may change, and an area that you thought might increase in value might not actually go up, and vice versa.

4. Start Small

Some real estate investors begin by purchasing a duplex or a house with a basement apartment, then living in one unit and renting out the other. This is a good way to get your feet wet, but keep in mind that you will be living in the same building as your tenant.

Additionally, when you set up your budget, you will want to make sure you can cover the entire mortgage and still live comfortably without the additional rent payments coming in.

As you become more comfortable with being a landlord and managing an investment property, you may consider buying a larger property with more income potential. Once you own several properties, it becomes easier to purchase and manage more properties—and earn a greater return on your investments.

22 Safety Tips for Real Estate Agents

2019-11-18T02:03:00.004-08:00

Your Safety Comes First

The majority of people probably would not walk into a secluded house with a stranger. Real estate professionals do it every day. That’s why the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), along with individual brokerage offices across the country, is re-evaluating techniques for promoting agent safety. In the meantime, real estate licensees can take smart steps to better protect themselves.

Advice to help real estate professionals avoid risky situations:

Set initial meetings with new clients at the office, not in the field. Office meetings set a professional tone for the agent–client relationship. Plus, they provide an opportunity to make a copy of your client's driver's license and have the person fill out a Prospect Identification Form. Many brokers now require this to provide a safer working environment for licensees. Sometimes, that extra step is all that is needed to put a stop to a criminal's plan.
Record new client information electronically. If meeting in the office proves impossible, take a picture of your client's driver's license and car license tag and send it by email or text to your broker or office manager. Use technology to your advantage. Protect yourself by creating a digital paper trail.
Keep your jewelry under wraps. Do not use glamorous pictures of yourself wearing expensive jewelry for advertising. Criminals see agents with diamond accessories and pricey watches as prime targets. Try to look classy without dressing especially flashy.
Limit the personal information you share. Your client does not need to know your son has a game tonight and is the school's soccer star. You can get to know your client and still build a quality business relationship without providing too much information about yourself, your family or where you live.
Separate personal from professional. Do not share your home address or phone number on any advertisement. Having separate email accounts for business and personal use provides anonymity as well.
Make your clients feel known. Introduce your prospect to someone in the office when you meet them for the first time. Would-be assailants want to stay inconspicuous so they can avoid detection. The more eyes that are on them, the less likely they will attack.
Let someone know your plans. Always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. Leave the name and phone number, plus any additional information you have collected, of the client you are meeting.
Help your brokerage keep tabs on you. It is a good idea for brokerage offices to have an employee check-out board on a website or at work to list your name, destination, customer name, the date and expected return time.
Don't list properties as vacant. Avoid listing properties as “vacant,” since advertising an empty house can be seen as an open invitation to criminals. Going to a vacant lot and finding squatters there rarely ends well.
Never park in the driveway. When you’re showing a home, it’s safer to park at the curb in front of the property instead of in the driveway. This allows more visibility to neighbors if a conflict occurs. It’s also much easier to escape in your vehicle if you don't have to back out of a driveway. Additionally, leaving your car in a driveway means the perpetrator could park behind you, making it more difficult to leave.
Show properties during the day. Always show properties before dark. Do not lower any shades or draw any curtains or blinds.
Choose a safe word or code. Establish a distress word with a relative, close friend or coworker. A secret word or phrase that is not commonly used but can be worked into any conversation for cases where you may feel threatened. Example: "Hi, this is Jane. I am at [address]. Could you send me the red file?" A simple phone call with the distress phrase could alert someone that you are in danger.
Leave your belongings in the car. Do not take your purse or laptop bag into the house. Lock it in the car trunk before you arrive.
Always have your phone. Take your cell phone with you at all times, in case you need to call for help.
Have a security app. Install a panic button and/or security app on your phone that allows you to easily call for help in a covert manner.
Let clients walk in front. While showing a house, always let the prospect lead. Direct them instead of walking in front of them. For example: "The kitchen is on your left." This allows you to keep an eye on them.
Avoid attics and basements. You don’t need to follow clients into dark, windowless parts of houses, such as attics and basements. This will help prevent you from getting trapped there. If clients want to view those areas, you don't need to go with them.
Look around your car. When you are getting into your car alone, look in the backseat and underneath the car. Lock the doors immediately when you get inside.
Dress for the weather. If your car breaks down, or you need to escape a dangerous situation on foot, you will need to be dressed appropriately.
Take a self-defense class. A good course will help teach you the proper maneuvers to physically fend off an attack and cover defense strategies, assertiveness and powerful communication tactics.
Never hesitate to call for help. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Do not hesitate to call 9-1-1 in an emergency.
Trust your first instinct. Often there is a reason why your intuition tells you something feels off. If you don't feel comfortable about a situation, figure out an alternative or ask someone to go with you.

Above all, remember the biggest asset to your business is you. You can't serve your customers if you don't protect yourself.

Becoming a pro in real estate requires you to master and understand the intricacy of the business. Failure to acquire knowledge on real estate investment may cause you to lose your hard-earned money. Below are tips to help you become a pro on real estate investment in Nigeria.

Contents [hide]

Make use of technology

Modern day advances have provided the real estate sector in Nigeria a new market in form of the internet and social media. Try to learn about online marketing as it is the new fad. Becoming a pro involves seizing various opportunities in form of the internet to push your real estate brand.

Research on various real estate investments options

You don’t have to rush to buy a land because you feel it is a great deal instead research first before you take any action. There is a popular saying that slow and steady wins the race. The reason why you need to stop rushing into deals is in order to avoid real estate scam.

Never commit an action without researching first.

Learn communication skills

In real estate, poor communication will drive away your clients quickly. Learn how to communicate effectively with people. Contrary to popular belief, communication is not just about talking alone but also involves active listening. You can read books, watch videos or browse the internet about how to communicate effectively.

Be professional

In order to be a Pro, you need to act like one. Learn how to be professional in uncomfortable situations, when talking to clients, on the phone or with colleagues. Property finders will rather deal with a professional individual than an unprofessional person.

Have integrity

Real estate market is capital intensive, hence, why property finders will only want to work with people they trust.

In a market that is sometimes afflicted with scams, integrity is a currency which every Pro must have.

2019-02-14T23:42:00.001-08:00

The landlord tenant disputes is one hurdle most people face after getting an apartment. It is most times as a result of the conditions of living in the apartment. Though this is not the case for most houses in Lagos or Nigeria. However, it is what others go through on a daily basis.

Inasmuch as Lagos is the commercial and economic center of Nigeria, most references in this article would be about Lagos. Due to the large population of the city, it is home to different tribes. Hence, diverse landlords and tenants.

Landlord tenant disputes are not uncommon in Lagos. In fact, it is top of the list of ‘dramas’ you see in Lagos. You would understand better if you have had experience with face-me-I-face-you houses. Where the tenants are either fighting themselves or the landlord. There is always an issue or problem to be solved by the landlord.

Know Your Rights

One of the best ways to ensure a good landlord and tenant relationship is by knowing your rights. In fact, it is the easiest way to avoid the landlord tenant dispute. But this is often times not the case. Most of the arguments are often as a result of either the tenant or landlord not performing their rights or duties.

The countless hours spent arguing who is right or wrong would have been saved if both parties know their rights. It is not unusual to see people argue about what a simple knowledge of the agreement would settle. This is why it is important that before you rent a house, you, first of all, go through the agreements. This way, you can decide if they are what you can abide by.

Either as a landlord or tenant, not abiding by the agreement is a breach of contract. So, a good knowledge of your right as a landlord or tenant helps you avoid unnecessary landlord tenant dispute. You can read more about the rights of a landlord and tenants in Nigeria.

Be Professional
Let’s face it, landlord tenant disputes are bound to happen. As humans, we surely have different opinions about a lot of things. Though it is, however, not suppose to be on regular basis. There is no how peace will reign in a compound where the neighbours fight themselves or the landlord week-in-week-out.

Therefore, it is always left up to the landlord on how he manages these issues. The truth is, your best bet is to be professional about it. You must start to see the house or property as a business, and your tenants as customers. So, learning to treat all customers (tenants) equally is a good way to start.

This way, there won’t be claims of the landlord favouring a particular tenant. Another thing which requires your professionalism is how you respond to disputes. Obviously, the arguments are definitely going to be heated at some point, hence, the need to respond well.

For instance, because a tenant is screaming at you shouldn’t make you scream back. It is not a screaming competition! Also, because arguments can get heated and you start hearing phrases like “Do you know who I am?”, “You will see” etc., you should avoid threatening.

As part of being professional about your landlord duties, you should take responsibilities of your own end of the agreement. When everyone takes responsibilities of their duties as stated in the agreement, there wouldn’t be landlord tenant disputes.

Show Genuine Interest

If there is one thing that people want, it is knowing someone cares about them. In cases that have to do with housing, it is knowing the landlord cares about the tenants’ welfare. This does not mean, as a landlord, you have to babysit your tenants. However, there should be a level of genuine concern about their welfare.

It shouldn’t be a case whereby you are only available when you want to remind them or collect the next house rent. Most of the landlord tenant disputes or problems are often about the landlord placing money over the tenants’ welfare. A tenant would respond favourably to your demands when they know you have always listened to their complaints. We have an article for you on how to become a better landlord.

Have The Conversation

Most of the landlord tenant disputes are often matters that can be resolved with proper dialogue. It is, however, not so as people tend to blow things out of proportion. It is advisable that no matter how long it takes, you should ensure you talk things out with the landlord or tenant.

When you take time to see things from different angles, it will surely boost the landlord and tenant relationships. It should never be a case of “you are wrong, I am right”. When matters are ironed out rather than being avoided, you will find out that it is cheaper than settling a case in court.

Get A Professional Mediator

The real estate professional in this case is a property manager. As the name depicts, they help you manage your property. So, depending on what you need, you can decide if you need a property manager or not.

2019-02-01T06:01:00.001-08:00

...Project To Create 200,000 Jobs, Provide Housing Schemes For Lekki FTZ

...Lagos Gov's Policies Are About Economic Prosperity, Development, Says Audu Ogbeh

Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday launched a 1000-hectare modern satellite city in Epe-Ibeju Lekki axis projected to create over 200,000 jobs and housing schemes for all the major projects coming on board within the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Named Alaro Satellite City, Governor Ambode described the unveiling of the project as a major milestone in his administration's vision of making every part of the State economically viable and livable, adding that the development was a dream come true.

He said with major projects in the works in the Lekki-Epe corridor such as the Free Trade Zone, largest Deep Sea Port in Africa and International Airport, among others, a new city to provide housing schemes and other facilities for workers, investors and the people generally was desirous, hence the need for the initiative.

Giving details, Governor Ambode said: "The Alaro Satellite City was conceived to provide housing schemes to a broad spectrum of income earners, industrial workspaces, warehouses, hospitality and commercial office facilities amongst others.

"The project would not only open up the corridor but would transform its economic landscape by providing jobs, reducing poverty and contributing significantly to socio-economic development of the State, especially in terms of the GDP of the State in particular, and the country in general."

While commending the private sector especially Rendeavour Group and North West Quadrant Company for partnering with the State Government to deliver the new city, the Governor said the successful launch of the project was a demonstration of the confidence the Organised Private Sector (OPS) and foreign investors have in viability of doing business in the State, adding: "The Alaro Satellite City is a strong statement that our Lagos is still attracting more direct foreign investment."

The Governor, who assured the partners of the State Government’s unshaken commitment to the success of the project. @ Lagos State

Engage in proper research

The place of engaging in proper research both before investing and doing the investment stage cannot be undermined. Investing in real estate requires having a good knowledge of whatever form of investment you are interested in. As an investor, learning about your property is almost as important as the investment itself.

You need to make a good research on the property you intend to invest in. Having the details of the property will help you in deciding on whether it is worth it or not. It will also help you to compare the prices of other properties. For investors who go into real estate for long term purposes, this will help you to forecast sales like a pro in the future.

As an investor, acting on impulse is a big risk in the business and this may have an adverse effect of the returns you get. There are also certain questions you will need to be able to answer about any property you intend to invest in. Some of these questions to take into considerations include:

What is the neighbourhood like? And what is the fate of the neighbourhood in terms of property appreciation and development?
What is the state of the property at the moment?
Is the property a good fit for a long term investment?
How safe is the property?

Stick to a budget and financial plan

As mentioned earlier, becoming a successful investor in real estate isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Every professional real estate investor understands that planning is of vital importance. It goes without saying that in every business you venture into, without planning, there is more than a 95% risk of failing at it.

One of the first things to consider to avoid any mistakes investing in real estate is thoughtful planning. This includes having a budget and a financial plan and more importantly, sticking to them. At the end of the day, it pays to invest time into preparing a solid financial strategy to guide you through the investment process.

To avoid pitfalls, make a logical and consistent budget that your finances can support. Some things to consider include availability of equity and liquid assets to hold the property. Also, avoid over-leveraging as it saves you from future losses. It is advisable to hire a lawyer to walk you through this process.

Stay Objective

Staying objective when investing in real estate is imperative. It is important not to get emotionally attached to any real estate property as this will deter your ability to think logically. Having an emotional attachment to a specific property might end up being a trap rather than an enjoyable aspect of investment.

One of the benefits of staying objective is that you avoid the mistake of overpaying for a property. You also get to look at the problems that the property might have and you are saved from ending up with low returns.

Be aware of laws and regulations

It is of vital importance to understand the laws, rules and regulation that bind the city, and neighbourhood where your investment property is situated in. To avoid any problems investing in real estate, it is advisable to stay on the safe side in terms of legal and regulatory issues. Take into consideration the tax regulations, housing laws, and discrimination associated with investing in a home or property.

There you go, some of the most important ways to avoid any mistakes investing in real estate. Are you a real estate professional or a newbie in real estate investment? Kindly share your thoughts with other PropertyPro.ng readers.
