Simply put, the real estate business involves renting, buying, and selling lands, buildings, and other properties. The estate manager(s) either owns the property or manages them for a private owner. This is one of the large-scale businesses in Nigeria today. To ensure success in this business, adequate marketing and communication are essential.

 Real estate starts right from the construction process. Constructions companies can use bulk SMS to communicate the availability of commercial space to the property managers or those willing to embark on the building project.

In the area of marketing and advertisement, the conventional means today are through TV adverts, newspaper adverts, and posters or flyers. Bulk SMS though has equally been proven to be an effective medium of advertisement, not least due to its low cost and effective delivery. Real estate managers can intimate people of ready and upcoming projects through bulk SMS.

Additionally, in the area of obtaining lands for building and also securing rent or building purchase by tenants, bulk SMS can be used for placing orders with the real estate managers. Once the advertisement message is sent, a call to action allowing people to make orders can be included, where they just have to send a word or phrase to a shortcode.

The real estate business may organize seminars and workshops time after time in training people on the real estate business. Such gatherings can be organized through the use of bulk SMS. Invitations for the event and renders of date and time can be communicated through this means.

Firsthand complaints and feedbacks from clients or tenants can also be gathered through bulk SMS. With this, you can know which things need attention in the estate and promptly handle it, therefore keeping the relationship with the clients cordial.

In cases of rents, once the rent payments are due, bulk SMS can be used to remind the clients of the bill payments. As such you can save the time used in visiting such ones or putting a call across that may not get through.
