I had always been self-employed. Back in 2000, I owned a convenience store with my parents but I started looking for something more rewarding that still offered me the independence that I loved. An agent came to the store all the time and he kept pushing me to get my license. So I finally did it, and here I am 17 years later! We are heading in the direction of new technologies, and what better option for us but to go paperless? I couldn’t rely on agents’ feedback from their open houses and had a hard time transcribing the handwriting from our sign-in sheets. Manual record keeping and maintaining a log for our leads took up a significant amount of time. We’re all about helping our agents in their real estate profession, so providing them with automated workflows, organization and the necessary tools was the direction we wanted to go. Tracking leads, being sure the leads are properly followed up, and finding out how our visitors discovered the open house helps us measure the benefits of our business. Spacio is smart, user-friendly and the best option for going paperless. Melissa and her team are there every step of the way 24/7. To better our business, Spacio was the way to go for us. Our agents really like the product and were excited to start using it when we presented it to them and gave them motivation. We are also able to view agent and office leaderboards for agent engagement and training throughout the process. I want to grow in a controlled way, so that our service is never sacrificed due to a volume we can’t handle. There is a lot of competition in this business, so we recognize that clients have a great deal of choice when picking an agent to represent them. We try and stand out with our experience, our honesty and our reputation for really taking care of people.
