SAN MATEO, CA -- 10/29/09 --
Real estate agents can now accept bookings
from homeowners on their own web site as well as on Homethinking, a New
York-based service that helps connect home owners to real estate agents,
through a single, unifying service provided by BookFresh, the San
Mateo-based startup company that offers an online appointment scheduling
technology for small businesses.
BookFresh's solution will allow homeowners to book appointments online with
one of Homethinking's experienced local real estate agents. The widget
appears seamlessly on both Homethinking.com, the agent's website and
anywhere else they'd like to place it on the web. Bookings and availability
are driven off the real estate agent's live calendar.
In addition, the BookFresh solution makes life easier for consumers who
visit Homethinking. True to their mission of helping consumers make better
real estate decisions, home owners can browse through various
Realtors, review their performance history, and then book an appointment
online at their convenience instead of having to line up a time via email
communications.
Homethinking has utilized the BookFresh API which is available to web
publishers in many service verticals including real estate. "We look
forward to helping Homethinking lead the way in tech innovation for the
real estate industry," said Ryan Donahue, Bookfresh's CEO.
"BookFresh offers a seamless solution to enable our customers to accept
live bookings on their profile and property listings. We have seen tremendous
uptake of the feature in our beta testing and agents are finding great
value in allowing live appointment scheduling," said Niki Scevak, Founder
of Homethinking.
