Denver, CO, 01/25/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/
Engrain (www.engrain.com), the leader in touch technology for the real estate industry, officially announced its entry into the U.S. homebuilding industry during last week’s 2016 International Builders’ Show® (IBS) in Las Vegas. It was a momentous week for the firm as it also launched its interactive marketing website map product SightMapTM at the convention. The new online technology is the first to offer the real estate industry a responsive, website based, community map that is mobile optimized and clearly displays unit specific availability and information.
Engrain revealed that it has expanded its customer focus of TouchTour® to include the thriving single-family homebuilding industry in the United States. TouchTour is an award-winning digital marketing and sales/leasing resource that allows real estate developers of all sizes to effectively promote residential and commercial properties with greater efficiency and increased profitably. TouchTour continues to expand its application environments to meet a substantial demand for its innovative technology.
“The extension of TouchTour into the single-family homebuilding industry is part of Engrain’s strategic long-term growth strategy,” said Engrain President and CEO Brent Steiner. “Our increased collaboration with leading homebuilders and home sales professionals has provided a great deal of insight into the needs and expectations of the industry. We felt that the International Builders’ Show was an ideal time to make this announcement.”
Now available to single-family homebuilders, TouchTour gives prospective homebuyers instant access to a memorable interactive tour of new-home communities, often before construction has even begun. The technology entices visitors to step closer and engage with large (42” – 84”) touchscreens while exploring available floor plans and exterior elevations with taps, swipes and other multi-touch gestures. TouchTour also allows sales teams to continue conversations with potential homebuyers via full guest card integration, simplifying prospect profile gathering and streamlining the sales process.
