Combining Financial Calculators with Homebot Home Search is one of the most effective ways to convert potential buyers. And with our curated galleries of listings, we make it easy for prospects to find the properties they're looking for.

Buyer Experience Overview

When you add a buyer or prospect to Homebot, they’ll automatically receive a welcome email containing access to their private Home Search experience, typically within 24 hours, and about every 30 days after that. Clients don’t need to opt in or create login credentials to use Homebot. They'll simply click the call-to-action in the email to get started.

Learn about the automated emails and how to turn them off HERE.

And if they own a property, they'll have the opportunity to add it themselves!

🚨Best practice: Customize the welcome email! It’s the first message your clients receive from you through Homebot, so make it count. View the welcome email and learn how to customize it HERE.

You can also create and embed a personalized welcome video for buyers. Learn about it HERE.


Buyer onboarding flow

Once buyers receive their first email and click the call-to-action, they’ll go through a quick 3-question onboarding process. These questions include:

  • Do you want to get emails about new and interesting listings in your favorite markets?

  • What are you looking to do?

  • Is there a date you want to close by?

  • Do you have a budget in mind?

  • Where are you house hunting?


Buyer Features

Once buyers successfully answer the questions above, they'll be able to:

  • Safely search listings and markets nationwide using unique filters like assumables and seller concessions. Learn about Homebot Home Search HERE.

  • Utilize our financial calculators to understand their true buying power and the real costs of homeownership. Learn about our financial calculators HERE.
