With such an increased interest in the housing market, texting to schedule appointments for renters and homebuyers can help you keep track of interested candidates and ensure important information is read.

From sending greeting or promotional messages and efficiently keeping your schedules in order, to sending renting renewal reminders and sending paperwork that needs to be signed, texting will make your team’s workflow more efficient – and keep your clients well informed. We’ve put together a few templates to get you going.
