Move

In Detail

Introduction to Move

Positive User Experience

MOVE is intuitive, highly responsive and offers a superior user experience. Designed to follow standard real estate processes, MOVE understands what you want to achieve and delivers the best experience to achieve it.

The consistent design reduces the learning curve and fast tracks staff on-boarding, in turn decreases training costs and lowers support requests.

Rich & flexible information screens

Known for producing industry leading CRM functionality, our development team has made these powerful features readily available and easy to locate in MOVE. Created to help your staff be as productive as possible, the detailed information screens are designed to take full advantage of your wide screen display, making it easier to locate and view information quickly.

Powerful searching technology

The powerful and intelligent searching feature ensures you will never be left scratching your head wondering where something has escaped to. The searching function combined with the advanced filtering and ordering options facilitates better refined results and brings extra efficiency to your staff.

Superior quality photos

See the effects of your actions instantly when you upload not just one, but all your hi-resolution listing photos in one go. Drag and drop to store the images, then drag and drop to re-order them, it couldn’t be easier. The photos are stored against the listing file and are readily available for use on websites, sensational print material and professional email marketing campaigns.

Advanced Security

Have unrivalled control over who gets access to what with MOVE’s customisable advanced security function, the strength is in its flexibility. The security feature in MOVE is intelligent enough to understand the concept of staff relationships and prevents unnecessary access to information that is deemed sensitive or does not form part of the job description.

Clients, Prospects & Relationships

Contacts

It’s the human touch that secures the ongoing success of agents. Not only does MOVE record the basic contact details, but as your relationship develops, you can also enter birthdays, family member details and additional emails, link them to other properties they own and much more.

Buyer requirements & matching

Always exceed your buyer’s expectations by setting their buying requirements. This gives you the ability to adopt the multi-directional (listing to existing buyers & new buyers to listings) matching function in MOVE. Detailed preferences include price, bedrooms, bathrooms parking, property types, category, geography, building area and land area.

Sync with Office365 or G Suite

Synchronise with Outlook or Android via Office365 or G Suite easily. Share contacts between Move and your mobile device and email client.

Automatic preference entry

To ensure the management of your buyers is as easy as possible, MOVE uses the latest AI technology to automatically record preferences based on historical activities such as enquiring on specific properties or attending open homes. Don’t worry you can always nominate their preferences manually.

Merge contacts

Maintain a ‘clean and healthy' contact database with MOVE’s de-duplicate feature. Automatic suggestions to likely duplicate contacts are matched on names, email and phone numbers which you can then view and confirm which contacts to merge, Move will blend the information together.

Distribution lists

One of the core objectives of using a CRM, like MOVE, is to build and improve relationships with clients. Using the powerful distribution list feature enables staff to improve productivity when sending marketing emails, sms and other actions.

One Contact, Multiple Agents

It’s simply a fact of life that a single person may have a relationship with more than one agent within your office - even at the same time. You'd be surprised how many CRMs do not have the ability to perform this. With MOVE, you can link your contacts with other staff so only one contact, with detailed information exists in the database.

Companies, Individuals & Colleagues

Along with ability to create tailored contact types, MOVE automatically recognises 2 different types of contacts – company and individuals. Intelligently, individuals can be attached to companies and can be recognised as colleagues. This feature helps staff perform powerful searches that quickly highlight relevant contacts.

Workflow & Action Plans

Action Plans

Action plans allow you to promote best practices and define how you'd like your business to operate. Customise plans with unlimited tasks and reminders – then apply it to any appraisal, listing, contact or contract and provide consistent and predictable and repeatable customer experience.

Notifications

Action plan notifications allow you to notify, via email or sms, your Vendors or Salespeople when certain tasks within an action plan have been completed. It's a powerful way to introduce accountability and timely feedback to Vendors.

Leads & Enquiries

Website Enquiries

Website enquiries instantly become qualified leads that are automatically fed into MOVE. These leads are linked to listings, and rentals, and are readily available in our Vendor feedback and notification system – helping you maintain an open line of communication.

The auto-responder promptly sends your clients a SMS or email acknowledging their enquiry and you confirming will be in contact shortly – the beginning of a second to none customer service experience.

Active Contacts

Using the latest real estate AI technology, MOVE monitors the behaviour of your leads. Every time your client receives an email from you, whether it’s the latest listings report, general market update or a more specific suburb market analysis detailing the latest area trends, MOVE records their engagement and prompts you to take action when there is a noticeable spike in the activity, helping you to service your clients quickly and easily.

Listings

Appraisals & Opportunties

With the centralised listing tracking methodology, you can record your appraisals and opportunities. MOVE clearly makes the important distinction between an appraisal, being a simple request to appraise the property’s likely sale price, and an opportunity, where the Owner is looking to choose an Agent to sell their property. You are able to follow-up on those owners who are undecided, as well as keep an eye on your conversion rate.

Managing Listings

MOVE is overflowing with Listing Management features that are designed to streamline your business and help your staff achieve their goals. From managing all your appraisals, opportunities, listings, sales in progress, settlements and withdrawn listings in one screen to matching buyers and recording detailed marketing, your team can quickly view everything that is happening at any given time.

All Property Types

MOVE not only supports all property types, including: residential, rural, vacant land, commercial, industrial and businesses for sale, but does so in great detail. As expected there are the usual features such as bed, bath and car fields, however there are also additional fields such as legal details and tenancy information as well as property outgoings like rates and body corporate fees etc. If you are a C&I specialist Agency, take a look at Comet for more advanced features.

Maps

MOVE’s built-in mapping system automatically populates maps to be used in marketing material such as emails, brochures and in-house booklets.

Income Pipeline

MOVE offers a streamlined visual representation of possible income for both individual and collective appraisals, opportunities, listings and commenced sales using your historical probability of completing the sale. This information forms the basis of your income pipeline and displays the income you have accumulated but not yet realised. The data, automatically collected and collated, displays an accurate value on your current work in progress.

Market Place

Track your competitors listings & sales

The built-in market tracker gives you a huge advantage against your competitors. This ability to monitor all properties for sale and sold in your local area allows you to produce professional and up-to-date marketing material.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

Combining your Market Monitor data with data supplied by Domain and CoreLogic you are able to stand out from your competition with your specialist local knowledge and produce your own uniquely branded CMA.

Market Analysis (MA)

Use your sourced data to create a Market Analysis report for each of your local suburbs. Similar to a CMA, the MA highlights market activity for properties in a given suburb. This valuable piece of collateral can be emailed to your clients to keep them up-to-date with market movements.

Market Share

Understand your market share at a glance. Analyse your position based on your share of listings or settled sales. This information offers you the ability to review both short and long term trends and helps you remain focused on your goals.

Property Database

A database that grows more powerful, the more you use it. As you appraise, list and sell properties, MOVE builds and strengthens your own property database. While displaying historical ownership and sale transactions, your property database really is a tool for your success.

Building Database

For those whose marketing area consists of buildings, you'll appreciate our building database that allows you to group listings and properties into building. You can describe shared building features and contact for the on-site manager and strata managers.

Advertising

Advertising Account

MOVE has the most powerful advertising account feature for real estate agents on the market. Agreed budgets are defined and managed for individual listings, with the ability to set what happens upon settlement or withdrawal, ensuring no outstanding money is inadvertently overlooked. At a glance, you can see the exact status of each account and issue invoices if necessary.

Tightly Integrated with the Trust Account

When advertising is prepaid and receipted into your trust account, MOVE readily displays the available balance of the marketing ledger on the screen and at the click of a button you can draw down appropriate funds. MOVE cross references the current balance, the agreed budget and amount spent to only let you draw down money in accordance with your States Trust Act.

Marketing Plans

With the choice of pre-built marketing plans (that can be tailored) or individualised campaigns created using the advert library, the flexibility that MOVE offers is second-to-none when creating your marketing proposal. There is support of both complementary and charged items to ensure your vendor sees every advert submitted and marketing action completed. And for the office, MOVE can differentiate between a retail cost and wholesale charge!

Easy Invoicing

Creating and sending out advertising invoices can be performed at any time, either individually or in bulk. Alternatively, at settlement the balance of the advertising account will be automatically deducted from any deposit held; or form part of the commission invoice if you are not the deposit holder or are holding insufficient funds to cover the costs.

Statements of Account

Advertising statements can be generated when needed, with long running advertising campaigns which are common in Project Marketing or when requested by a Vendor. The branded statements include: raised invoices, payments made and all aged outstanding amounts.

Salesperson Contributions

Salespeople are able to make a financial contribution either in part or full towards the cost of advertising. MOVE will track any agents’ contribution to ensure they are accounted for and do not escalate into a bad debt.

Contracts & Sales Administration

Easy & Flexible Sale Process

The development team at Inhabit are renowned for their detailed sales administrative processes. Everything you expect from contract management is included as well as conjunction and referral fees, franchise fees, special deductions and more. Deductions can even be applied either ‘before’ or ‘after’ the commission split for salespeople or franchisors.

Offers

In some regions, Offers can be communicated to Sellers as Contracts of Sale. MOVE will allow you record as many Offers as needed, and will automatically cancel the ones that do not proceed to an unconditional status. Recording Offers also gives you the opportunity to review them historically and potentially redirect your buyers to an alternative listing should they miss out.

Beautifully Integrated Trust

To ensure a seamless link between the contract management process and trust accounting, MOVE automatically provides prompts that help you remain on track such as, when you are expecting contract deposits. MOVE also anticipates the drawing of cheques and any journaling or payment of promised advertising funds.

Contract Conditions

Both built-in and ad-hoc conditions that relate to contracts, such as building & pest inspections and finance, together with their expected completion date can be recorded in MOVE quickly. These conditions will then be managed for you and MOVE will create reminders for any that require attention.

Clauses

With the ability to select contract clauses from a cache of pre-programmed ones (or enter one on the fly), MOVE’s powerful contract features are once again reinforced. To further assist your staffs’ productivity, clauses appear on relevant documents such as the Sales Advice or Lease Advice/Heads of Agreement) automatically when produced.

Collecting Commission

In typical residential real estate, commission is usually due on settlement; however commissions for Commercial & Industrial Sales and Leasing and, often, project marketing, can involve a number of staggered payments. By default, MOVE assumes commission is due upon settlement, but can be changed when necessary.

Salesperson Ledger

Easily manage a Salespersons’ commission, wage, bonus or expense within MOVE. Credit commission to the agents ledger upon settlement, earlier or later as legally permitted. The Salespersons Ledger allows you to quickly analyse the balance owing at any time and transfer the amount to your payroll system.

MOVE accommodates all websites that supports the recognised Australian upload standards (REAXML, REIWA, Domain, etc), always and without any complication. Information is sent instantly a change to any given listing is made and the intelligent feedback system will advise its success or failure within minutes. Specialist portals such as RealCommercial and CommercialRealestate are supported as are Franchise websites, individual office websites and most salespersons’ websites.
