We all know good tradespeople are hard to find but the answer is at hand with the new RealWay trade directory

It can be a frustrating experience finding tradespeople for clients and ourselves yet the answer is at hand in a new RealWay website initiative.

Working with our web design partners Tridesign we now have any easy to use trades and services directory accessing 27,500 (this number grows daily) tradespeople and service providers  across Australia, sorted by postcode.

This feature is a great way for Sales and Property Management staff to add value for our clients. Sellers and landlords can access the directory themselves via the website and build a “shortlist” of the trades and services they require.  If installed on your website, this list will carry the branding for your office.

If your agency has a list of “preferred suppliers”, these can easily be added to the directory, just email therese@tridesign.com.au.

To see an example, go to http://www.realway.com.au/trade-directory and have a look. It can also be accessed through the ‘selling’ drop down menu.

Another useful feature is the monthly Homemakers Guide (also branded to your office) which is quite a different take on the “traditional” real estate newsletter.  It has been developed in response to feedback from agents that goes along the following lines:

You list a property (great!) then you sell it (even better!), send a thank-you card and possibly a gift basket on settlement day and that’s the end of the transaction.  Now, everybody knows that the moment a client has purchased a property, they become a prospective vendor.  The difficulty that agents have, is that they really have no cause to be in touch with that prospect, except to ask them if they are ready to re-sell the property.

The Homemakers Guide is a conversational (no sales data, no recent sales, no encouragement to list) format that centres on providing useful snippets of information for householders including a healthy recipes section.  Distributed monthly in a print-ready PDF format, it aims to keep your brand in the “top of mind awareness” of householders in your area.

We believe it is best used as a resource for letter box drops, snail mail, reception desk, open homes, auctions or anything else you can think of.  It can be accessed from the toolbar once you have done a search.
If you’d like more information contact head office, or contact Tridesign direct on 07 46365583 email: info@tridesign.com.au
