Reapit, the leading cloud platform for estate agents, has announced a partnership with mio, tmgroup’s new sales progression and communication tool that offers a smarter way to manage the home buying process. The integration of mio into the Reapit RPS cloud platform enables Reapit and mio customers to bring all their data involved in the home selling process into one place, keeping agents and the clients across the chain updated at all times.
Powered by tmgroup, a PropTech company with almost 20 years’ experience in streamlining the property transaction, the mio tool creates transparency for estate agents and consumers by joining up the dots when building property chains, fulfilling sales progression and sharing information with other agents and clients involved in the chain.
Developed specifically to address the challenge of high fall-through rates of property transactions across England and Wales, mio brings data from multiple parties together to create a shared view of the property chain and improve the experience for everyone involved. Initially, Reapit’s RPS cloud platform will feed information from property transactions including details of the seller, buyer and solicitors of both parties into mio using an API, saving agents the time and hassle of manually entering them. mio is already proving to be an effective tool for all sizes of agents from small independents up to corporates that are involved in a chain and invested in keeping it together. Greater information sharing reduces the time between sold status and the exchange of contracts and payment, helping lessen the chance of a deal falling through from a break or delay in the chain.
Joe Pepper, CEO at tmgroup, the PropTech company that has recently launched mio to market, said “The mio product is a hugely exciting development for the industry, and the agents that have been using the platform over the past 12-months have all reported a significantly improved sales progression experience, with fall-through rate averages down by over 30 per cent. By integrating with the Reapit platform we will make it easy for estate agents to start to use and get the benefits of mio seamlessly, and it will help agents level the playing field in the current climate where online agents get paid in advance of selling the property. The combination of Reapit and mio is an ideal proptech solution for estate agents.”
Jon Horton, Product Director for mio said “Reapit has an enviable reputation in the market for its agency software and services and I’m delighted that we are now working together and helping to improve the home buying and selling process for everyone involved.” Reapit’s RPS platform has a proven track record with estate agents, helping them expand and operate to their full potential. Its customer base includes many leading property brands with 1 in 5 UK property listings managed through the platform.
Gary Barker, CEO of Reapit, said: “In today’s rapidly progressive property market, it is important that our partners do not feel technologically limited when adapting their business models to suit demand and changing customer expectation. Our platform allows them to explore various models, without having to compromise their existing operations. We are looking forward to working closely with our partners at tmgroup to advance the proptech market and provide continuous innovation to support chains.”
Reapit’s partner programme not only enables technology companies to integrate into the RPS platform, but also become part of an agent’s workflow from within the platform.
