Alex Sing, Agent Subscriptions and Software Manager for Realestate.com.kh said this new feature helps raise the level of transparency on the website and is providing more value to our agent clients, and ultimately making the home finding process in Cambodia easy and effortless for property seekers.
“The new Home Finder feature on Realestate.com.kh is another step towards transparency for agent clients and our end-consumers, the property seekers. The launch of this feature represents our continued commitment to listening to agents on what matters to them and taking action to better serve them. But ultimately this feature is for the end-users, providing them a satisfactory, more streamlined user experience,” he said.
What is the Home Finder feature?
Home Finder is a new Realestate.com.kh feature located on the bottom right-hand corner on a desktop browser or below the search bar on the app.
It allows property seekers to simply submit their buying or renting needs and the platform automatically alerts agents and developers about the “opportunity” which is sent directly to the agents' app, just like a WhatsApp message.
It works the same way for property owners, making it easy for them to connect to agents that can help them find buyers.
Home Finder takes the hassle away from property seekers or sellers when looking for the most trusted agents who can fulfill the specific needs highlighted in the form. Once a form is filled up it becomes a lead or opportunity and all the agents who have accounts with Realestate.com.kh will be alerted. The property seekers or sellers then will be referred to the leading agents in the industry.
However, to ensure that the platform remains user-friendly, it allows only the first five agents to take the opportunity or lead. It will disappear once five agents respond to it. It keeps users from not having to deal with many agents contacting them later trying to sell their services.
