How One Mouseclick Saves Commercial Brokers Time and Improves Their Data

Most commercial brokers don’t believe they can save time while they control data. In fact, even with a CRM, dealing with property information can be one of your biggest time-wasters:

Entering data. Sharing it, saving it, trying to find it again. Correcting bad data. Re-entering the data when the property specs change. Putting it all together into client reports … what else did I miss?

BrokerSavant was founded to to help brokers get more accurate data without wasting so much of their time. Now we’re thrilled to announce a partnership with REA that actually makes controlling your data a time-saver.

Introducing the Autoloader from REA

If you’re an REA subscriber, you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to putting your data to work. But imagine updating property data from a flyer to your REA CRM with one mouseclick—and no manual entry. Well, that’s exactly what REA’s new Autoloader makes possible. Here’s what you’ll do:

1.  Click the Autoloader button

2.  Select a PDF flyer from your desktop

3.  Click Upload to transfer data from the flyer to your REA CRM.

4.  Get on with whatever else you were doing.

Of course, once you’ve got the basic information, you can always add more detail about the property, the owner, the tenants, the surrounding area, etc. But, like REA’s Matt Smith says, “You’ve got to put the border together before you can do the rest of the puzzle.”

Now you can assemble the border in seconds—and get to the rest of the puzzle that much quicker.

Why faster data is better data.

Autoloader doesn’t just get data into your REA CRM faster—it makes that data more accurate.

How? Because all the information comes straight from your flyer—and we like to call flyers “the gold standard of commercial property data.” You’ve already done the due diligence on it. And since you’re not re-typing anything, there’s no chance for a manual-entry error.

Autoloader lets you upload data
from anyone’s flyers.

And why stop with your own flyers? Autoloader lets you upload data from anyone’s flyers. You’ll have more information—and more accurate information—at your disposal, and you’ll have it faster. Controlling data with Autoloader means:

Complete, accurate data. No typing, no keystrokes, no errors!

Faster, more reliable client reporting. Upload any property data that’s relevant to your client’s site requirements.

Faster access to market comps. Build a historical database, and never search through your files again.

Built by brokers, for brokers.

The REA Autoloader is built around the same technology that powers the BrokerSavant Property Indexand our personal website tool, Brokerfolio. And that’s no accident.

Your data is accurate
and up-to-date.

Both REA and BrokerSavant were founded by commercial brokers, because only brokers know how to create and support the specialized tools that serve brokers best.

As Matt Smith explains: “If you drive a Jeep, you can get it fixed anywhere. But when you bring it to a Jeep dealer, you’re more likely to get the answers you need, and they’ll be quick to fill you in about the best new aftermarket parts and other Jeep-centric news.”

That’s why Clay Rankin founded BrokerSavant, and that’s why thousands of commercial brokers manage their customer data with REA instead of a generic, mass-market CRM. We’re brokers, too. We get it.

Like you, we’d rather be out showing properties than entering data. We know firsthand how important it is to have access to information that serves your clients. And we understand how critical it is that your data is accurate and up-to-date.

That’s why we created Autoloader. And that’s why we can’t wait for you to try it out!
