Realtors International has developed an enviable track record and reputation in the property industry over the last 25 years. The team has survived many shifts in the market and weathered several economic challenges, most notably the recent recession. As they say; "calm seas never made a skilled sailor". But we have endured and learnt a great deal on how to best move forward in an industry beset by poor reputation and poor service delivery. The time has come for change and Realtors International is more than just aware of the need to change, we have embraced it and dead set on pioneering a powerful future.
Over the past 12 months we have invested greatly in new technology and service orientated products to find a new, but stable and profitable way, to revolutionise the industry and cement our future in a volatile market. But for ultimate success, we must remain true to our core principles and values of integrity, professionalism, old school family values, humility, honesty, sustainability, value for money and transparency. Technology is advancing daily. Consumers are extremely savvy and ever increasing access to technology has exposed them to greater choices and education on process, services, costs and real estate agencies as well as agents. We must respond if we are to remain relevant. We need to change how we do things. With a customer centric brand built around old school values and principles, but using technology to increase our speed, efficiency, profitability and reach.
TECHNOLOGY:
The rate of global uptake in technology and new media is unprecedented. Nothing could have ever predicted the growth rates of mobile literacy, speed of the internet, growth of Apple or the uptake of Facebook and social media. All these advancements haven’t just meant a change in how we are entertained, but more over in how we communicate, transact, research and buy. It has changed the very way in which we live, but already it has become commoditised it is no longer about the iPad, the Blackberry, Facebook and Twitter. It is about content, experience and context.
The use of technology for technology’s sake is a fool’s ambition. We need to start interrogating why we use technology, what is its real purpose in business, entertainment and communication? For us, it is simple: The more advanced technology becomes, the more old school its use. It is all about service and face time. In a world where technology is designed to reduce face time, we’re using it to increase it. We are using technology to create efficiency in business operation, ensuring that the consumer has more time sitting opposite our staff, building trust and long term relationships.
CNL:
Realtors International is in a partnership of well-established local estate agencies mainly in the Western Cape and Cape Town area known as CNL. CNL is a Multiple Listing Network which services the Bothasig and surrounding areas. All the mandates are listed on CNL and then numerous professional agents market the properties on behalf of the Sellers. We came together to pool our resources, share our experience and offer our clients the benefits of an international network of buyers. We work well together for the benefit of both our Sellers and Buyers.
As a group we are embracing new technology and using different social platforms to empower our agents but still offer all the personal service and intimate neighbourhood knowledge that has made each of us outstandingly successful in our own areas.
CORPORATE NETWORK LISTINGS:
