Send Text Messages from Salesforce for Real Estate
If you already use Salesforce to manage property enquiries, buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants, you may not want to switch between different systems just to send a text message. You can send text messages from Salesforce and keep your conversations connected to the records your team already works with.
This can be useful when you need to send viewing reminders, property updates, appointment confirmations or follow-ups quickly. Instead of copying phone numbers into a separate messaging platform, your team can use the information already stored in Salesforce.
With AI SMS House, you can connect SMS messaging with Salesforce and manage conversations while keeping messages linked to relevant Salesforce records.
Send Text Messages from Salesforce for Real Estate
Estate agents need to communicate quickly with buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants. Property enquiries can arrive at any time, and responding quickly can help your team engage potential customers before they move on to another property or agent.
By using Salesforce as part of your communication process, you can manage property information and customer conversations in one place.
Real Estate SMS Use Cases
You can use Salesforce to send text messages when:
A new property enquiry is received.
A viewing has been booked.
A viewing reminder needs to be sent.
A property viewing has been cancelled or rescheduled.
A buyer needs an update about an offer.
A seller needs an update about interest in their property.
A tenant needs a reminder about an appointment.
An estate agent wants to follow up with an interested buyer.
A customer requests more information about a property.
An appointment needs to be confirmed.
Follow Up with Property Leads Faster
Following up with property enquiries quickly can be important. When someone submits an enquiry about a property, you can send a text message confirming that your team has received their request.
For example, a Lead could receive a message confirming that an estate agent will contact them shortly.
This gives the customer an immediate response while your team reviews the enquiry and prepares the next step in Salesforce.
Send Viewing Reminders from Salesforce
Missed property viewings can waste valuable time for estate agents, sellers and potential buyers.
You can send text messages from Salesforce to remind customers about upcoming viewings. A message can include basic appointment information and encourage the customer to contact your team if they need to cancel or rearrange.
This can help your team keep track of appointments and reduce the need for manual follow-up calls.
Property Viewing Messages Can Be Used For:
1. Viewing confirmations.
2. Reminder messages before a viewing.
3. Cancellation notifications.
4. Rescheduling updates.
5. Follow-up messages after a viewing.
Follow Up with Interested Buyers
Not every potential buyer makes a decision immediately. Some people may view several properties before deciding which one is right for them.
Your sales team can use Salesforce to follow up with interested buyers and continue the conversation.
For example, you could send a message after a property viewing to ask whether the buyer would like more information or arrange another conversation with an agent.
Keeping these conversations connected to Salesforce records can give your team better visibility of previous communication.
Automate Text Messages from Salesforce for Real Estate
You do not have to send every message manually. Salesforce Flow can be used to trigger text messages when certain activities or record changes take place.
For example, you could automate a message when:
1. A new property enquiry is received.
2. A viewing is booked.
3. An appointment is changed.
4. A Lead reaches a particular stage.
5. A follow-up task is created.
6. A property status changes.
Automation can be useful when your team regularly sends the same type of notification.
