The Property DriveBuy app has the potential to revolutionise how people physically choose and visit properties in their preferred areas.

The innovative product comes from London based PropTech Services and they are inviting agents to sign up free, for a 3-month trial period.

For the property buyer the Property DriveBuy app provides core search functions – a ‘Property Capture’ tool and a ‘Drive-To-Explore’ mode – it’s a sort of ‘Waze’ for house buyers.

It gives them access to an agent’s list of available properties within a set radius of their physical location. It then delivers the agent’s marketing details – photos, floorplans, walkthroughs – of the properties they are physically directly outside.

It’s a sort of ‘Waze’ for house buyers.”

The ‘Drive-To-Explore’ facility is the app’s dynamic search, which traces the location of users as they drive along a route – their preferred area to find a new home – and ‘collects’ all the properties available for sale or rent along their path. These property results can then be filtered at a user’s convenience, or kept for later review and consideration.

Any specific or ‘favourite’ routes a user may travel and are looking to purchase within can be marked so that the app may notify them of new-to-market opportunities in the very same areas, without users having to re-run searches.

For agents, there are a number of critical engagement opportunities with prospective buyers, from instant call tools to within-app chat. The app also comes with a desktop add-on, allowing negotiators to send customised property viewing trips to users ‘in-app’ to facilitate ease-of-viewing scheduling and pre-viewing approval.

Time saver for agents

The DriveBuy mobile app effectively provides estate agents with more time to actively focus on progressing sales and less time on accompanied viewings.

For the property buyers it offers them a way of filtering appealing properties and reduces the number of time spent on accompanied visits in their property search.

The app will be available from 1st October for download and usage on all Apple and Android devices. Pre-registration for agents is now available.
