Flat Rate Answering Service Provides Better Productivity and Profits

By Susan J. Campbell, TMCnet Contributing Editor


In the real estate market today, it takes more than merely listing a house to get it sold. Agents now have much to do in marketing the homes to the right buyers, ensuring they can pass stringent inspections and hold their value to be true. Gone are the days of luxurious spending as it is now a buyers’ market.



While the rules of the real estate game have changed somewhat, the demand of the customer remains the same and the busy agent needs to be able to deliver the level of service the customer expects, without wasting time on those individuals not really serious about buying or selling. One sure way to do this is through a quality answering service.

In truth, those in the real estate business are searching for ways to maximize opportunities while minimizing costs. In using an answering service, costs can be trimmed while the agent increases results and operations. At the same time, a quality experience is created for the client and anything less than serious buyers can be weeded out of the process – a win for all involved.

Notice the reference is to “quality” and not “expensive”. A higher price tag (News - Alert) does not guarantee better service for real estate clients; much like a long term contract won’t ensure that all calls are answered in a timely fashion. Instead, look for a flat rate and consistent customer satisfaction.

One provider that fits the bill is AccurateMessage.com and its real estate answering service. This option provides the real estate professional with a flat rate and unlimited call volume. For the real estate professional, such service delivery is a must have in this market climate.

Not only will a live person answer all calls, messages can be taken on any call or the operator will transfer the call to a landline or cell phone if directed by the client to do so. Transfers are only $1 and everything else is included in the live answering service for a real estate flat rate.

Using a quality answering service, the real estate agent can be sure they are only connected to those serious bidders and time will be saved in the selection process. Also, an answering service can provide a real estate agent with multiple listings a different number for each property, and repeat the same weeding out process, to save an agent hours of time, only connecting with those serious customers.  

For those in the Las Vegas Valley or Los Angeles County, flat rate live answering service for the real estate industry is available. Customers will also be provided a local or toll free number with the flat rate real estate answering service. A local number is provided at an additional $10 per month with the flat rate $89.95 per month Accurate Message Center.
