Real-Time Valuation
VON POLL REAL ESTATE builds trust through maximum transparency in property valuation. Once the user enters property data into the valuation service, the system generates a digital valuation dossier including market price, price range, value trends, infrastructure, and demographic data.
An own property value calculator helps owners make investment decisions, calculating in real-time how renovations, for example, impact property value. Users can then share the results in editing or viewing mode (e.g., with a spouse or financial advisor) and receive regular price updates for their property.
Leads are directly stored in onOffice enterprise. When a property is listed via the platform, the process for customer pre-qualification begins automatically through the central lead management at headquarters. Within minutes the client is prequalified, and the regional office is informed. The process notifies the responsible agent via SMS and email with detailed information from the valuation dossier, including location, infrastructure, and price data. This ensures the agent is well-prepared for an initial call with the customer.
Transparency in Marketing
Real estate transactions represent one of life’s most significant financial decisions. VON POLL REAL ESTATE strategically reduces uncertainties and concerns: The integrated platform includes a sales simulation where clients can preview the streamlined sales process tailored to their property. The buyer finder indicates whether there are potential buyers within our client base for their property.
When the owner hires VON POLL IMMOBILIEN, the seller portal is activated. They can follow the marketing process, exchange documents with the agent, view photos, and edit and activate the brochure.
Clients dictate their level of engagement, from passive observer to active participation via our intuitive platform. Agents efficiently manage the entire process using onOffice enterprise and communicate with clients through the customer platform.
The marketing platform’s dashboard provides real-time updates on all activities and recommends actions to enhance the marketing progress. These insights derive from daily data evaluations within onOffice enterprise.
In addition to services for owners and sellers, the platform includes extensive buyer services and a financing planner. Clients receive tailored offers based on their budget and can compare financing options in real-time with over 700 financial institutions. Automated processes accompany the entire procedure until the purchase solvency confirmation, thus easing the agent’s workload.
