If you love real estate & want to nurture your database then this is the right place for you.
Can you explain what Rebot is in less than 100 words?
At Rebot, we offer a tech solution designed especially for real estate professionals who are keen on optimizing their database. Through a method we call “washing,” we validate and format essential details such as addresses, emails, and even synchronize activities from your other systems.
What exactly does a database wash mean?
Washing is actually a combination of tech activities. For the best results, we validate the addresses, format the owner’s names, emails and phone numbers and then even match the owners with selling and buying activities from any other systems you have.
What if we are hopeless at technology?
We understand better than most, introducing technology into your culture can be difficult. The reason we love real estate is that even though data, innovation and automation, is disrupting our processes, it will never take over an agents role. Don’t worry, we have ways of feeding your teams small amounts of tech to get them used to the changes and build the habits of using technology more efficiently.
Is my data safe?
We protect data as if it is our own. Our systems are in the cloud and inherit all the google and amazon data protection policies and methods. We can sign an NDA or data sharing agreement that you choose to use.
How do I send data to you?
Usually, the best way is via a CRM user account, but we also accept export spreadsheets. We can connect via the CRM API if you prefer. We show you the best ways once we have made our engagement agreement.
What if I want to change CRM’s?
That’s a big decision, we don’t take this process lightly. It can be expensive if not done right. We can help with CRM to CRM pre transition or post transition. Let’s discuss.
What if I have a clean database?
That’s great news, you can move straight to the advanced bots and algorithms we use. Clean data is only the first step of many campaigns that will yield your results.
I need more data and leads, can you help me?
We can enhance your database and help with new leads. There are many avenues to meet this requirement, it’s best to plan out what market segment and area you want, then let us know. We can help you source it.
Can you help my team with their technology skills?
We can offer a team coach for you, we know plenty of good coaches in the industry, it depends on where you are located. Our output system gives your team very simple steps to take to build the business. The steps introduce your team to technology, good for beginners and easy for experts. It’s not difficult, but accountability and self-responsibility are on you.
I just want to send a great newsletter to my database
That’s a very simple task for our data intelligent bots, to identify who to send to. We like it if you use a good email software or the email software within your CRM.
We prefer to do door knock and letterbox drops, can you help?
Congrats! We love agents who love old school. Of course, our output campaigns can be formatted however you want. We prefer to push into the CRM, as well, but we can show you the mail merge and door knock templates.
I’m confused.
The best thing to do is to define your goals. What is the end result you want? Give us a call, we can give your ideas some depth.
My database is all over the place, I’m embarrassed.
Don’t worry about that, you have to go through that uncomfortable feeling for a short period of time, but then you will have a clean database! Our bots know the structure of a real estate database and are learning all the time. It’s easy to fix this problem.
What is a farm area?
Some brands like to allocate certain suburbs or streets to particular agents, teams or businesses. they use the term farm, and each agent is responsible for talking to all the owners in those areas.
How many real estate agents are there in Australia?
As of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, the number of real estate agents in Australia was not precisely known. However, according to the latest available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there were 50,900 people employed in the real estate services industry as of May 2020.
It’s important to note that not all of these individuals may be licensed real estate agents, as the industry also includes property managers, real estate administrators, and other related roles. Additionally, the number of licensed real estate agents may vary depending on the state or territory in Australia.
It’s possible that more recent data may be available, but I do not have access to it at this time.
