The new Bayut Profolio™ app features have been created to ease agencies’ processes so brokers can focus on serving their clientele. Let’s dive deep into these new Bayut Profolio™ app features and reveal how Bayut Profolio™ for real estate agents helps brokers stay ahead of the competition.
Key Features Offered By Profolio™
The Bayut Profolio™ app comes with a suite of Bayut Profolio™ property marketing tools and Bayut Profolio™ CRM features accessible to all agents registered on the platform. These solutions ensure maximum visibility for listings and help agents deliver high-quality service through data-backed client preferences.
Let’s look at some of these solutions and examine how Bayut Profolio™ for real estate agents can increase productivity for agents in the UAE.
Managing Your Listings, Quality Scores and Ranking
In the Manage Listings section (under the Listing Menu), you can seamlessly oversee your inventory for both Bayut and Dubizzle in one place. You can toggle between both platforms and keep track of your Bayut Credits.
The app features a Listing Quality Score utilising a three-tiered colour scheme: green, orange and red.
- Higher Score: If the score is high (green), your property listing will rank high on platforms.
- Low Score: If the score on your listing is either orange or red, it means your listing needs some work. This may include adding high-resolution images, adding floor plans or using Bayut Profolio™ listing verification.
Boosting Listings Across Bayut & Dubizzle
When listings need higher reach, Bayut Profolio™ property marketing tools allow you to apply promotional boosts directly in the app. This may include upgraded features like Signature, Hot, Property of the Week for Bayut and Refresh and Featured on Dubizzle.
TruCheck™: Authenticate the availability of your listings
The Bayut Profolio™ Checked feature and Bayut Profolio™ TruCheck™ allow real estate agents to show property seekers their real and available listings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. You can get the TruCheck™ property verification badge on your listings using the tools available on the Bayut Profolio™ app.
Checked Badge on Bayut
To initiate Bayut Profolio™ listing verification, brokers must first upload relevant documents and ensure their listings have been certified with a Checked badge. These documents include the following:
- Form A or NOC
- Title Deeds and Owner’s Passport Copy
- Emirates ID
The Bayut Profolio™ Checked process begins with these documents uploaded on Profolio™.
Bayut quality assurance teams then verify the papers to ensure they are authentic. Once a property goes through this first level of quality check, a Checked badge is applied.
End users will be able to see this badge on the listing, helping them understand the authenticity of verified property listings.
Agents can then visit the property, take a picture using the Bayut Profolio™ app and submit it for approval to get the TruCheck™ badge assigned to the property.
A TruCheck™ badge will further establish the validity of the listings and inform potential buyers and renters that the listing is still on the market.
Only Checked listings can be TruChecked™. So, it’s important to initiate this process as early as possible to improve the exposure of your listings.
Checked vs TruCheck™ on Profolio™
The Checked badge is assigned to a listing when the property documents have been validated. In contrast, the TruCheck™badge is assigned after the agent has visited the property and TruChecked™ the property by uploading photographs confirming that the advertised property is still on the market.
A TruCheck™ badge on a listing comes with a time stamp displayed on the listing so users know how recently the agent validated the property.
Both the Checked and TruCheck™ badges are visible to users on Bayut. In addition to helping agents build trust with end users by displaying the authenticity of properties, listings with the Checked and TruCheck™ badge get a higher ranking on Bayut. This also applies to listings marked as Signature or Hot.
For instance, a listing marked as Signature/Hot with a Checked badge will rank higher than normal Signature/Hot listings. This ranking will further go up when the listing features a TruCheck™ badge.
How does TruCheck™ benefit the broker?
TruCheck™ shows a listing that is available on the market. It helps build consumer trust by guaranteeing that the user is accessing the latest information about the property. This, in turn, makes the agent more trustworthy. It also ensures that the agent receives more reliable leads, as potential customers have already been assured of their listings’ authenticity.
Additionally, having a TruCheck™ badge helps increase a listing’s visibility on Bayut by improving its ranking. Even if a listing is marked as a Hot or Signature property, it will rank higher on Bayut if it holds the Checked and TruCheck™ badge. Normal listings with this badge will also rank higher than those without the badge.
Tips for using TruCheck™
If you have a listing that you want to validate with TruCheck™, here are some tips for approval.
- Ensure you have submitted all relevant documentation and the listing is authenticated with a ‘Checked’ badge.
- You can upload up to 10 images of the property on Profolio™
- Ensure you are within 500 metres of the property when trying to TruCheck™ it. If you are further away, you won’t be able to access the camera on the Profolio™ App.
- To TruCheck™ an apartment, take the photo from right outside the apartment. Make sure the front door is open, and the apartment number is visible.
- To TruCheck™ a villa, make sure you are standing inside the property.
- TruCheck™ badge is valid for 45 days for sales listings (ready and off-plan) and 30 days for rent listings. Keep an eye out for when your TruCheck™ badge might expire. Update it frequently if the property is still on the market.
SmartLeads™: Stay organised on the go
Bayut Profolio™ SmartLeads™ works as an intuitive solution that helps brokers understand a customer’s intent and requirements when they receive the lead.
When a potential lead comes in via phone or email, SmartLeads™ collates all the information on a customer’s property preference, including location, budget and property type. Based on this information, SmartLeads™ links specific listings to help brokers further market the right properties to the right clients. Agents can also suggest other listings based on these preferences to increase conversion chances.
Other features that are part of SmartLeads™ include:
- Setting up reply templates to engage with leads on the go.
- Access to previous phone interactions with leads
- Adding notes to stay organised
Detailed Report & Excel Exporting
Under the Reports section, head over to Leads to see all incoming inquiries categorised across five channels: email, SMS, phone, WhatsApp and Chat. You can also export this complete lead data directly into an Excel sheet using the export option at the top right of the screen.
Traffic Reports & Listing Insights
If you go to the Reports and Traffic section, you can identify your strongest performing locations by reviewing impressions and overall listing performance.
To drill down into individual performance metrics (impressions, clicks and leads):
- Head to the Insights section.
- Search and filter listings by location, status, purpose, reference ID, category or users.
- Apply the Low Performing filter to instantly identify listings with lower Click-Through Rates (CTR) compared to similar area listings so you know which ones need promotional boosts.
