Need SMS Service for Real Estate

dannyogolo · 3rd Aug 2016, 08:27 AM

I need an SMS service to use in a Real Estate business. Here is how it works:
Place a sign in a property eg
Text “Keyword” to the "shortcode phone number" or "Normal long phone number"
When user sends the Text message, he gets an auto reply with details of the property plus a link to our website showing all about the property. Then it sends us an auto email with the user phone number, so we can follow up with a call if we desire.

I have seen some services like this, but they are limited to USA and Canada.
I am in Africa, so I need a self hosted service or a world wide service.
Also if I can see an Android App

Thanks

Are you looking for just SMS auto-responses?

What are your thoughts on an MMS autoresponse that is a text message which would then play a video or show actual pictures of the property?

What country in Africa are you located in?

Most people here have not activated their MMS.
I will rather stick with SMS

You should contact your local provider who can provide you directory and sms pack for sending sms and they will provide you software too

I would say you can take local directory and get lots of numbers which are in the list and make a whatsapp group and invite them , thats the best way to market on phone

But dont you think if I do this, other members of the group can also advertise their property, thereby getting direct contact with agents that are in need of such property?
I desire a situation where all agents (or as much agents as possible) should contact me/my site/my service when they have/ in need of property

For that you should have good reputation you should get good reviews for your service and then market using signs and pamphlets you will get good leads
