Frequently Asked Questions
A. Each property code is priced from $19.95 for a single listing all the way down to just $6.95 for the 100 code plan. Each code includes 30 free text messages sent per month per code and if these are used up, it is only an additional $0.20/text after this! Standard sign riders are available for $12.00 each and custom riders that allow you to select your own company colors and custom keyword are available for $22.00 each. Both include shipping (or you can print your own if you like!). Note that each sign rider is unique as a print file because of the individual keywords/codes and to make sure you explain this to your printer if having done yourself. We recommend that you do have us supply them as we know the price is competitive, there is no delay in dealing with a printer and they are usually shipped within 24 hours

A. Although two completely different types of marketing approaches, text messaging is now more popular than making telephone calls and hard wired into our culture as the preferred way to communicate. It is instant and there is no person to listen to on the other end of a phone explaining a long list of details or features. With a text message, you are also able to keep the information on your phone for viewing or making contact later. You can also forward the text with all the details to a friend or family member. As an agent, you are also able to capture the lead of the person requesting the text info if they opt-in and request a showing, price change or want to know about an open house. Q. I want potential buyers to call my phone number on the sign, why would I give them information?A. The reality is, people buying a home research the market and properties by a. driving by, b. online (MLS) and c. newspaper ads. None of these marketing methods allow an agent to measure the response rates or capture a lead. By enticing a potential buyer to send a text message to receive basic property details, TxT2Look captures their cell phone number to follow up on later along with also providing an automated value added service. TxT2Look offers a measurable, efficient and leading edge marketing platform that offers so much more than just a traditional sign. Q. Will potential buyers not call my phone number anymore? A. Absolutely not. Offering our TxT2Look service is simply a matter of providing a better service to sellers along with giving consumers what they are now demanding; "Instant Information". Providing basic listing or for sale details via text message is capturing a whole new segment of the market and research has shown it generates more interest which leads to more calls. And remember, if someone doesn't text (yet!), nothing stops them from calling your number as they normally would! Q. How do I update my listings?
A. You can quickly and easily update your listings at any time by logging into your account at www.TxT2Look.com/login. Q. What happens when a listing is sold, rented or leased?
A. You can easily update your listing with new details and then retrieve your sign and place it on another listing.

area on our website. Q. What if I want to cancel my subscription? A. Canceling your subscription is easy to do.
