CRE #200: Final Offer: Win-Win For Sellers, Buyers, And Brokers

· by · in Calibrate Real Estate Podcast, Home. ·

In this episode, Kyle Malnati interviews Jocelyn Vas, the Chief Knowledge Officer of a real estate technology company called Final Offer. Vas explains how Final Offer is disrupting the traditional home buying and selling process by providing real-time alerts whenever an offer is made on a property. This brings much-needed transparency that has been lacking in the industry, allowing both agents and consumers to have the same information at the same time.

Vas emphasizes that Final Offer is not meant to replace real estate agents, but rather empower them with better data and tools to serve their clients more effectively. She shares how the company’s founder, who is also an agent, created Final Offer out of frustration with buyers missing out on properties and sellers potentially leaving money on the table due to a lack of visibility into the offer process. Voss believes embracing innovative technologies like this is crucial for agents to survive and thrive in the evolving real estate landscape.

Here are 5 key takeaways:

1. Final Offer provides real-time alerts to agents, buyers, and even neighbors when offers are made on a property. This brings transparency to the offer process.

2. Final Offer automates and streamlines the offer presentation and management process, making it more efficient for listing agents.

3. Final Offer gives buyers and their agents more information about the status of offers, allowing them to make more informed and competitive bids.

4. Final Offer provides listing agents with new marketing and lead generation opportunities by allowing them to promote the offer activity on a property.

5. Final Offer is embraced by the real estate industry, being backed by the National Association of REALTORS® and their REACH program, positioning it as a technology that can enhance the real estate transaction experience
