6 reasons why housebuilders should choose Homebee

Homebee is the first, fully customisable housebuilder platform that supports builders and buyers through the entire journey of purchasing a new build home. The platform helps builders and buyers with the process of buying a new home.

Here are six ways that housebuilders benefit from Homebee, including key features and how it helps customers discover their dream home. 

It’s easy to find and reserve your homes online

Promote your houses and developments with photos, videos, virtual tours (which we’ll delve into shortly), and important information. Prospective buyers can browse your homes, refining their search with filters like property price, type and location. Once they find their dream home, they can reserve it online from anywhere, at any time.

This feature generates more leads and sales because it removes the barrier of having to visit your sales centre in person. Your customers have everything they need to make a decision online, so the process is quick and easy from the start. 

360° virtual tours and customisation

Virtual tours are the perfect way to bring your housing developments to life. If you’re not offering virtual tours already you’re missing a trick because chances are, your competitors are offering them (or at least, planning to).

With Homebee, your customers can explore homes and plots virtually, even before they are built, from anywhere in the world. They can customise rooms and visualise living there, before making an informed decision about whether to purchase.

Delivering this immersive experience could help you convert more interested prospects into fully-fledged homeowners. Plus, you could increase international sales as more people can access your homes, especially those who can't visit in person.

Boost sales through online shopping

Homebee’s built-in e-commerce feature helps you increase sales of extras like room fittings, flooring and materials. You can create your own catalogues which your customers browse and use to customise rooms whilst on virtual tours. When they find products they like, they add them to their basket and proceed to checkout.

Plus, both you and your customers can track orders, delivery details, installation dates and refunds.

Everything in one place

Gone are the days of using multiple pieces of software to sell homes and developments. Everything should, and can, be in one place.

With Homebee, you and your customers look after everything in your own personalised dashboard.  Track live progress, sign and store documents, report maintenance problems, schedule contractor appointments, and much more. 

You can tailor the design, look and feel of Homebee to your brand too. This lets you enjoy the platform without feeling like you’re using another software that’s disjointed from your brand.

Integrations, integrations, integrations

Homebee makes buying and selling new builds easier by integrating with top industry leaders like RightMove, WhatHouse, and OnTheMarket. When someone enquires about a property through these channels, their details automatically transfer straight to Homebee. You’ll generate, nurture and convert more leads because your data is streamlined and easier to manage.

You can also integrate Homebee with tablets and touchscreens in your own sales centres. In-store customers can use these devices to search for homes, virtually explore rooms and customise them. This will bring your in-store shopping experience to life, and transform your sales centre into an interactive marketing suite.

Personalised buying experience

Personalisation matters more than ever. So much so that 76% of consumers are more likely to purchase from brands that offer a personalised experience.

That’s why with Homeebee, you’ll offer the ultimate personalised house-buying experience. You can assign team members to customers to deliver a 1-2-1 service, and add a 24/7 live agent chat to answer enquiries. You can also connect with additional channels, like email marketing software, to send relevant emails to your customers’ inboxes.

What’s more, Homebee harnesses UTM source tracking data. You’ll know exactly how your customers found you and every step they take from enquiry through to completion. As a result, you can tailor your marketing exactly to your audience’s wants and needs. 

Summary

With Homebee, you will enhance your home buying experience, streamline efficiencies and get ahead of your competitors. Make your housing developments more accessible and better harness your data to drive more home sales. 

These are just some of Homebee’s key features, but they can be adapted if you require extra functionality. If you’re interested in the Homebee platform or have any questions, simply fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch.
