Online booking for real estate agents

Most of the work in property happens on site: showing a flat, walking through a house to value it, checking a rental before a tenant moves in. Each of those visits has to be arranged with someone who works during the day, and each arrangement usually takes a string of calls and messages. When a listing goes live, the phone rings with people wanting to see it this week.

A booking page lets them pick a time themselves. Agents open viewing slots, appraisers open valuation visits, and property managers open meeting times for landlords and tenants. The negotiation, the valuation report and the lease stay where they are today.

On Book, each type of appointment is a service with its own description, and a price if you want to show one. You open slots for each at the length it takes. An agent can create a viewing service for a listing, with the address and key details in its description, and open slots when the property can be visited. A slot can take several people, which suits open viewings. Clients can add a note, useful for a buyer's situation or the address of a home to value.

Clients book without an account, with their name, email and phone, and get a confirmation email; you get an email for every new booking. Your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't publish listings, manage leads or take payments, and it gives your agency one booking page rather than a calendar per agent. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.
