New Tool For GBAR Members!

KaOoga! Mobile and the Greater Boston Association of REALTORS® (GBAR) are proud to announce a new partnership that will bring the power of text messaging to your real estate business.

This program is being offered to all GBAR members through KaOoga! Mobile's proprietary text messaging platform.

• Text messaging is the primary form of communication for people ages 29 to 44
• 86% of the population 13 and up own a cell phone (M:Metrics)
• 95% of existing cell phone contracts have TXT/SMS built into the agreement (Mobile Data Association)
• Over 90% of text messages are opened and read compared to less than 40% of all email solicitations (M:Metrics)

• The REALTOR® adds text riders (to be purchased at their expense) to their property signs that say: "For a Mobile Listing Text: (keyword) to 89800." Please click here for a special deal for GBAR members on text riders from Oakley Signs.
• The prospect texts the keyword to 89800 and instantly receives a bounce back text with a detailed description of the property on their cell phone.
• The REALTOR® immediately gets a text message and/or an email with the prospect's cell phone number.
• The REALTOR® will use the platform to create their own keywords and property descriptions (160 characters are available).

• Since the REALTOR® is notified immediately with the prospect's cell phone number, they can instantly connect with them.
• When the REALTOR® is competing for a listing they now have a powerful cutting edge technology to offer the seller that their competition may not have.
• Contact information captured on prospective buyers can be used in future promotional campaigns and marketing of this and similar listings.
• Text provides prospective buyers with detailed property information 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
• The text platform is simple to use and new properties can be added in minutes.

• Set up your account with a credit card and use the platform at no charge for 60 days from the date your account is created. Please click here to create your account.
• During the account creation process you will be prompted to create your own unique User Name and Password.
• Prior to the end of your 60 day trial period you can opt-out by sending a notice of cancellation to bob@kaooga.com. If no notice of cancellation is received, we will charge your credit card a monthly subscription fee. Participation in the program is month to month with no contract required. You may cancel any time by sending a notice of cancellation to bob@kaooga.com. If we receive a notice of cancellation your account will be good until the end of the current month and your card will not be charged going forward.
• The monthly subscription fee includes 50 text messages per month. Texts in excess of 50 per month will be charged. Each mobile listing sent to a prospect's cell phone counts as 1 text. The REALTOR® will have the option to be notified immediately of property inquiries by email, text message or both. A text message notification also counts as 1 text.
