RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth Inc.
(NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise communications
platform and cloud-native carrier, today announced it is powering
some of the most innovative digital disruptors in the red-hot U.S.
housing market.
Bandwidth is powering several "property tech" innovators improving
the customer experience in real estate transactions.
As the nationwide surge in the real estate market continues,
buyers and sellers are increasingly adopting new digital tools to
more quickly and conveniently get to the closing table. Bandwidth
is the messaging and communications platform of choice for several
innovative property technology, or PropTech, companies that are
eliminating friction and improving the customer experience in the
key steps of a real estate transaction, such as choosing a real
estate agent, finding or renting a property, and showing or viewing
a home.
"Buying or selling a home is the largest transaction most people
make in their lifetime. That's why messaging and voice
communications are mission-critical throughout the key steps of the
process," said John Bell,
Bandwidth's Chief Product Officer. "The Bandwidth platform enables
PropTech SaaS companies to scale communications using our APIs
without needing extensive knowledge of telecom industry regulations
and requirements. By partnering with Bandwidth, SaaS companies can
focus on what's most important—the customer experience."
Here are three examples of how Bandwidth customers are improving
the real-estate experience:
Clever Real Estate is a platform that guides home buyers
and sellers through the process of interviewing and choosing a real
estate agent. Finding an agent through Clever is a free
service that delivers reduced listing fees for sellers and cash
back for buyers. Bandwidth provides voice and messaging services to
enable Clever's services for consumers across a network of top real
estate agents in the U.S.
Rently provides self-touring and smart access technology
for single-family and multi-family homes nationwide. Each year,
more than 20 million renters move to find their new rental
property--and Rently's self-touring technology automates the renter
check-in process so renters can instantly tour a vacant property,
safely and securely, without an agent present. Bandwidth provides
voice and messaging services to help Rently power more than 3,500
operators in the U.S. and 15 million renter self-tours to-date.
ShowingTime, recently acquired by Zillow,
coordinates schedules behind the scenes so agents can seamlessly
book a confirmed home showing online, streamlining a complicated
process. In 2020, the company facilitated more than 50 million
showings industry-wide. Bandwidth provides voice and messaging
services to ShowingTime to enable sellers' and buyers' agents to
schedule and confirm home tours online and also get 24/7/365 live
help from appointment specialists.
