Whether it’s visibility of your online purchase from the factory floor to your front door, being served personalised ads based on your online activity on social media, or having the answer to life’s biggest or smallest questions in the palm of your hand - consumer expectations grow bigger, yet more nuanced, each day.

The modern property customer anticipates the same level of experience they receive from all industries as a consumer.

Ray White’s technology, Smart Buyer Match, allows agents to uncover potential buyers for vendors at the first listing presentation; industry-leading technology not available to any other agency in Australia.

Vendors gain confidence that the moment their property hits the market, it's already in front of active, motivated buyers whose preferences and behaviours make them a legitimate match for the property. It’s not blustering or guess work; it’s data.

“I had a vendor who was quite nervous about selling, so I showed her the Smart Buyer Match,” said Kevin Chokshi of Ray White Cheltenham.

“Then I said, 'If you want, I can quickly just send out a text message,' which I did while I was with her,” he said.

“Off the back of that, I booked six inspections; two of them requested a Section 32. I was able to generate so much interest from just one text. She thought: 'Why don't we do a full campaign?' It actually gave her the confidence to go to market, which we did and sold it for a great price."

Rather than just claiming to have interested buyers, Smart Buyer Match provides vendors with tangible proof. It surfaces the most qualified buyers for their home based on their real-time engagement history, including enquiries made, inspections attended, contracts held and offers made. It’s a data-backed guarantee that the agent has buyers.

“If I’m dealing with a property around the $800,000 mark, I’ll typically have 500 to 1,000 buyers,” says Jason Atkinson of Ray White Coomera.

“I can say to my vendor, 'Okay, this is how many buyers we’ve got that I can send a bulk SMS to that are active buyers in the market.”

“This is data. This is technology that only Ray White has.”

Using data and insights from across the Ray White group, agents are able to surface the right buyers for specific properties, based on house size and features, price, and location. Agents can show the buyers to their potential vendors in real time - at the listing presentation.

The data from Ray White’s network doesn’t just give agents the tools to list properties effectively and transparently, it gives vendors the confidence to go to market, knowing there are buyers waiting to be engaged.

“Smart Buyer Match captures data from enquiries, open homes and becomes so incredibly powerful when we add our underbidders at auctions in as offer-makers,” said Luke Banitsiotis, Chief Auctioneer of Ray White Victoria | Tasmania.

“Where other agents rely on fragmented and often inactive buyer data, Ray White agents tap into a network-wide ecosystem of buyer activity. We exclusively only surface active buyers from across our network, and that is a significant point of difference.” he said.

“Our national scale becomes hyper-local when filtered through tools like Smart Buyer Match.”

Ray White understands its responsibility to be the most innovative real estate company in the country, owing to it having the highest market share and member base.

Ray White’s scale, and its depth of access to data allows it to harness technology more effectively than other agencies. Using Smart Buyer Match, it provides an unrivalled customer experience before a vendor even signs a listing agreement.
