Reverse Prospecting facilitates agents getting in touch with each other for their clients' mutual benefit. Listing Agents can easily find other agents with buyers looking for properties like the ones they represent for sellers. Agents representing potential buyers become more aware of available properties matching their buyers' criteria.
NOTE: Reverse Prospecting is completely anonymous for your buyers. List agents are not given your customer names or contact information. For the example screenshots, personally identifying information, such as MLS number or name, as been blanked to protect privacy.
