In fact, we're going to tell you about a new technology that we're giving you for free to make your home search experience and your home living experience, your home ownership experience the best it's ever been. And before we get into that, of course, if you're looking for a home right now, you can click the free home search link. It's your backstage pass to the mls. You can see all homes on the market, photos, descriptions, neighborhood information. It's pretty cool stuff@view norcalhomes.com and also if you're looking for a current value of your home, whether to battle a tax assessment or to see what your home could sell for in today's market, a more specific value, you can click the free home value link as well. So today we're talking about improving your home search experience. And what's really cool is that we have both an old and a new technology for you. So Tech tip. If you haven't already started looking for homes on your mobile device or driving around certain neighborhoods you'd like to live in and being able to see the homes for sale around you, including the neighborhood amenities, you can do that already using our KW app. The link is below. And what's really cool about this is it gives you school information. It's very up to date. Everything comes from our mls. It's accurate, it's updated to, you can see inside the home and you can also request more information or request a showing, set up a time to go and view the home personally through the app directly. One cool thing you can do right now is go to your settings and find the Google Play Store or the iPhone store the iOS store, the app Store and set it to automatic updates. So whenever an update comes, your phone automatically gets it overnight. And that way you open up the app and you didn't have to do anything yourself. It's done. It's ready for you to, ready to go. This app is getting an update. It's going to be a new color scheme and more importantly, it's going to be like your real estate feed. A lot of people will wake up and they'll, you know, read the news, they'll, they'll find some information. They're, they'll go to Facebook, right? That's their social feed. We now have the ability for you to get a real estate feed direct, for free, tailored specifically to you and your neighborhood. So we have an exclusive relationship with Nextdoor.com that actually allows you to see everything going on in your neighborhood as well as, you know, insights. New stores coming, you know, the best coffee place, the best Thai food restaurant as well as what's of course happening with your real estate values. A direct tie in to our mls. You can see real sold data. You can't get this anywhere else. It's not on Zillow. They actually aren't tied into the mls. What they see is property tax records. So the zestimates are way off because they're seeing stuff like a divorcing couple or some someone inheriting property as a sale and it throws up all the values. You're going to get true sales statistics updated for your home and specific to your neighborhood, not just a wide zip code. Your neighborhood, which is really cool. Over 180,000 next door neighborhoods exist and you're going to tie into that information right away. Now what's also cool is if you're looking for a home or looking to sell a home, the app becomes your guide. You can see a timeline, you can see everything you need to know about the home buying or selling process. It actually connects you to a few other really cool technologies that we've brought about lately, which includes Keller Mortgage, which can show you how to save money on your mortgage and have zero closing costs. It's actually a zero cost loan product if you're buying or selling or you are a client of Keller Williams, a Keller Williams agent listing your home, something like that. And also insurance is a new one. So if you are currently paying X amount for your home insurance and we have the ability through our artificial intelligence things we've built over the last three years with Google, you can actually start to see how you can lower your home insurance or get better coverage directly through the app, which is really cool. So we want to make not only your home buying and home selling experience better. We want to bring you value and insights simply for being a homeowner, which has never been done before and and again no other website can provide that. What's also cool about this is you'll still and this has always been the case with Keller Williams. With our app you're only tied to us, your your real estate team as your agent. So if we're on Zillow, you see four different real estate agents for every home you click on. That's because people pay, those agents pay to be there on Zillow. And Zillow is selling them your information. So if you want to keep your data protected, search privately, not have to deal with, you know, the hassle of all these salespeople calling you. Go ahead and use our app. We will not harass you. We simply want to provide value and help when needed. And you can actually use the app or use our website, viewnorcarowhomes.com to request that information when you are ready. So thank you so much.
