I. The Closure of Skype: New Challenges Faced by Overseas Real Estate Agents

With the gradual closure of Skype, many overseas real estate agents who rely on it for international communication are facing huge challenges. The convenient ways of introducing property listings, arranging property viewings, and negotiating contracts with clients through Skype in the past have suddenly been interrupted, leading to a decline in the efficiency of customer follow-up and even missing out on transaction opportunities.

1. A Sudden Drop in Customer Follow-up Efficiency

In the past, real estate agents could make international calls, send messages, and even conduct virtual property viewings via Skype to maintain close contact with overseas buyers. However, the reduction or closure of Skype’s functions has led to:

  • Unstable call quality, affecting the customer experience.
  • Message delays or losses, causing the miss of key business opportunities.
  • Lack of local numbers, resulting in low trust from customers towards unfamiliar international calls.

2. The Soaring Cost of Cross-border Communication

Some agents have turned to traditional international roaming or tools like WhatsApp, but there are the following problems:

  • High call charges, especially when frequently contacting overseas customers.
  • Inability to use local numbers, reducing customers’ willingness to answer calls.
  • Lack of professional business functions, such as mass SMS and call recording.

How to solve this problem? The answer is —— IntBell Virtual Number Service!
