In a previous article, Real Estate Agents Your Customers Are Checking You Out Online, I mentioned where things were heading with Augmented ID.
Here’s a video showing how Augmented ID is being used on a Google Android phone. (Note: This video has no sound. This is a case where actions speak louder than words).
Can you imagine using this at an Open Home to get someone’s details? Or alternatively, what if the buyers or sellers used it to pull up your details and social profiles, etc.
Using Augmented ID you could see what someone has been up to lately and start a conversation going about what they’ve been up to, for example their profile might say that they just saw the movie Valentines Day and you could start a conversation about what it was like, etc.
Well connected Gen Y’s no longer start conversations with ‘How are you?’ or talk about the weather, they say, I noticed your sister is due to have a baby soon, how’s she going? Or, similar. They don’t need to do small talk, they can go straight into a higher level conversation straight off the bat.
With Augmented ID, agents could potentially do the same with customers or vice versa. It will be very interesting to see how this technology continues to develop and how real estate agents start using it throughout the industry.
How else do you feel Augmented ID could be used?
