Your dream of owning a beautiful house can now come true through just a click on your mobile phone. Earlier, Fizber.com had taken an initiative to help people buy their home with the use of mobile phone. Now the wind has flown over to the Indian shores.
Makaan.com, a People Group’s online property site in conjunction with Mauj Mobile has developed an SMS-based Real Estate Mobile Application, called ‘Makaan Mobile’, claiming to be the nation’s first tool to find a house.
It is very difficult to buy a proper place to live in India. People take ages to find their dream house. But this application ensures an overall consumer experience for property sellers. It is a different and convenient option for property sellers. All they need to do is sign-in to the internet and start listing their property and even view responses from interested buyers.
Taking advantage of SMS, the GSM-based mobile phone will allow users to subscriber to the application. This method promises to deliver effortless and non-technical buying and selling of properties.
Aditya Verma, Business Head, Makaan.com, explained, “All our innovations till date have revolved around ensuring ‘customer delight’, and Makaan Mobile is another step in this direction. The idea of the application germinated from the need to connect with users who are generally on the move and do not have regular access to the Internet. This application will take Makaan.com product offerings to a far greater audience. With the launch of this service, we anticipate a 30% growth in daily property listing rate over the coming months.”
Manoj Dawane, CEO, People Infocom (Mauj Mobile), commented, “For Makaan, we needed to create a service that would have a high penetrability facilitating greater reach, and which would be completely user-friendly. Hence, we opted for an SMS-based service that would function without any Internet connection. And, with Makaan Mobile, we have achieved just that.”
Makaam Mobile envisions approximately 8.5 lakh unique visitors per month as they are certain that the application will be accepted as one of the best property-selling community. It would work as an ideal medium to contact real-estate agents.
