Every board answers, at 9pm on a Sunday.

A buyer texts the word off your board. They get the answer in seconds. You get their mobile.

can you let me know about similar ones
Will do. Who am I speaking with?

Three things happen, and none of them need you.

1

They text the word

Off the board, standing on the nature strip. No app, no form, no QR code, no typing an address.

2

It answers in seconds

Availability, bedrooms, inspection times, the listing. Every hour of the day, including the ones your office is shut.

3

You get the mobile

Their number, what they asked, and whether they have one of their own to sell. On your phone before you're back at the desk.

The bit that makes it work

One word per property, and no confusion about which house.

Addresses get typed wrong, abbreviated, and guessed at. Three streets in Lalor have a number 8. A word does not have that problem: there is exactly one house it can mean, and a buyer can read it off a board at walking pace.

  • It works on a sold board too. The sticker goes on, the board stays up for weeks, and people keep texting. Every one of those is a buyer for the next listing.
  • It fits the square inch you already print. Same space as a QR code, and it works from a car.

It answers questions. It never quotes a price.

Underquoting carries fines over $48,000 in Victoria, so there is no price anywhere in the system to leak. Every question about money returns your Statement of Information and nothing else.

What lands on your side.

The buyers

Name, mobile, which property, and whether they have one to sell first. That last one is a listing, not a lead.

Every conversation

Read the whole thread. The line that tells you whether to ring someone is rarely the one a summary keeps.

A vendor report

"14 buyers texted, 9 after hours, 6 opened the listing." Something to put in front of a seller at the Tuesday meeting.

The portals keep this from you. Enquiry is siloed per listing and per portal, so nobody sees the buyer who asked about four of your properties in a fortnight. You will.

Two ways in.

Both come out of VPA, not out of your commission.

Per campaign

$149
per listing, for the campaign

A line item on a schedule the vendor has already committed four thousand to. Try it on one property.

Office line

$390
per month, every listing you have

One number for the office, unlimited properties. Breaks even under three listings a month.

Do I have to change anything?

No. You get a new number for the boards; your own mobile is untouched. Send us the listing links and the words are ready the same day.

What if it doesn't know something?

It says so and offers to have you ring them. It does not guess, and it does not make up an inspection time.

Who owns the buyers?

You do. Export them whenever you like.

Is texting them back legal?

They texted you first, which is consent for that conversation under the Spam Act. Anything beyond it is its own question with its own logged answer, and STOP is permanent.

Put it on one board and see.

Send the listing links for what you have on. The words come back the same day, ready to print.
