New consumer research from Realsuite resets the bar for real estate agents


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Move, Inc. today released new consumer research and insight from the team behind RealsuiteSM, its new brand and business solutions platform for real estate professionals that underscores the importance of finding the right balance between personalization and automation in serving today's clients.

The white paper, titled Shift Happens: How to capture, communicate and close in today's "on demand" world, puts today's best practices under the microscope, revealing new perspective around buyer and seller expectations at each stage in the journey.  It also uncovers stark realities about some of the most common practices within the customer lifecycle, making the case that business-as-usual in today's market is anything but.  To download the white paper, visit www.realsuite.io/research.

The proprietary insight combines the findings from two research initiatives conducted in 2017 among nationally representative samples of consumers who purchased or sold a home, were currently searching for a new home, or submitted an inquiry on realtor.com, together with data and case studies from business, industry and academia.

Among the insights:

"This is a critical time for real estate professionals," said Luke Glass, executive vice president, industry platforms for Move, which also operates leading online real estate destination realtor.com® under a perpetual license from the National Association of Realtors®.  "The emergence of technology and automation onto the scene has greatly improved the real estate process in some ways, yet these findings reveal that many agents are failing to leverage technology or to use it properly at key points along the journey, to the detriment of the agent-client relationship." 

At the same time, the research also underscores that the agent's personal knowledge and touch remains a vital and irreplaceable part of the process. Together, the insights present the case for incorporating technology with personalized service, in order to meet the bar of consumer expectation and deliver optimal value.

"Finding the right balance between automation and personalization is critical to an agent's ability to deliver an exceptional experience, yield more closed business and bring more repeat and referral business into the pipeline," said Glass. The "RealsuiteSM platform offers a single solution to help them with this balance and empower them to spend more time with their clients, doing what they do best."

Move has owned or operated some of the best-known professional software brands in the real estate industry including Top Producer, FiveStreet and Reesio and has aligned with leading SaaS providers for increasingly seamless productivity offerings over the years. In 2016, Move set a new benchmark in end-to-end technology services by forging lead-to-commission integrations linking lead routing and response, CRM, transaction management, forms, esignature software and accounting systems. Move unveiled the RealsuiteSM platform and beta experience in the fall of 2017, and currently has more than 1,100 beta participants. For more information about RealsuiteSM, visit www.realsuite.io.
