Homesnap Introduces In-App Messaging Feature

Bethesda, MD – November 19, 2015 — Homesnap, the top-rated mobile app for real estate agents and homebuyers, has introduced a new feature to Homesnap and Homesnap Pro that makes it easy for agents and their clients to collaborate and communicate. Homesnap Messages integrates instant messaging to organize and track all of the discussions about listings, home searches, contracts and closings in one place.

Real estate agents can trade homes and comments with clients and see every home they have discussed with a particular client in one tap. Listing agents can see every conversation related to their listing, making it simple to track every potential buyer in one place. Agents can also instantly message any other agent in their MLS with a single tap; Homesnap will automatically identify them and the home they are inquiring about.

Homesnap Messages allows buyers and sellers to instantly share and discuss the homes that they are interested in with the important people in their lives. Every home they mention is saved and updated in real time.

Homesnap Messages can even be used to communicate with people who aren't using the Homesnap app. These messages will be converted to text or email, and replies will come back to the Homesnap user within the app.

"Homesnap's goal is to become every agent's everyday app," said Homesnap CEO and co-founder Guy Wolcott. "Agents spend a big part of every day communicating with clients and other agents, but those conversations are strewn across email and SMS, mixed in with hundreds of others. We wanted to give them a messaging platform to organize all those conversations, by client, by listing or by date. We believe that Homesnap Messages will soon become an indispensable tool for every agent and their clients."

Homesnap Pro is a powerful mobile solution for MLSs and brokerages who want an app that can provide real-time data to their agents on the go. Its user-friendly interface replicates the user experience that agents expect from the mobile apps they use every day. Features like Homesnap Messages, the Homesnap Pro Safety Timer and the "How Am I Connected" graph, which tells agents how they are connected through past transactions to any other agent in their MLS, make Homesnap Pro an even more compelling mobile platform for agents.

Using Homesnap Pro, information is only a snap away. In addition to searching by map, address, or home criteria, real estate professionals can also take a picture of a house and the app automatically pulls information from the MLS, public records and other sources.
