An PropertyText ID is similar to a property ID – in fact you can actually use your existing property ID. It appears on your road signage and print advertising.

 

Once you have activated your PropertyText ID for each property potential buyers will be able to obtain instant property information by sending an PropertyText ID (incorporated into your marketing material) to 842 using their mobile phone. They will instantly receive a reply message detailing the property they have enquired about. This will include the contact details of the salesperson. You will also receive a daily email report summarizing the activity on each of the PropertyText  ID’s for each of the salespeople registered with the PropertyText system.
