A “handshake” to generate more real estate deals: meet CASAFARI Connect!

CASAFARI Connect is a feature inside CASAFARI’s Property Sourcing that allows estate agents to partner on shared property transactions and split commissions. According to CASAFARI data as of August 2022, nearly 400 estate agencies and 6,000 professionals use the network, generating over 3,000 partnership requests and almost €600 million in property transactions.

Shared real estate deals are growing strong and are part of the future of the market for multiple reasons. Remote work means agents can expect more nomadic clients looking for properties in other parts of the country or the world. By partnering with other agencies, you can help a client in your city find a property somewhere else where your company is not present.

Sharing deals through CASAFARI Connect eliminates the need for real estate professionals to have solutions for every type of client – something hard to accomplish. They will always have a property to offer that meets the client’s needs, even if it isn’t part of their property portfolio. With a quick and easy search, they see what other estate agencies have and propose a partnership.

How does CASAFARI Connect work for estate agents?

With this scenario in mind, CASAFARI created CASAFARI Connect, a feature inside CASAFARI’s Property Sourcing that allows estate agents to partner in real estate deals. It works both when there’s a buyer client for a property in another portfolio and the other way around.

With this tool, your portfolio of properties gets exposure to the biggest network of real estate professionals and investors, letting them know you are open to sharing business.

Every user of CASAFARI Connect is entirely free to decide which deals they want to accept and which they do not. The same goes for the financial aspect: you can pre-set a desired percentage for splitting commissions by setting flexible rules for commission sharing, which can be further negotiated inside our platform.

What are the benefits of sharing property deals and commissions?

By partnering with another agency and sharing commissions, you get qualified leads from another agent that already knows exactly what the buyer wants, increasing the likelihood of the property being sold and speeding up the process of buying and selling.

You will seal more real estate deals and leave clients satisfied in no time. All of it leads to higher revenues for the company and higher commissions for the professionals, something very appreciated in a competitive real estate market.

All you have to do is click on a single handshake icon to connect with an agent and start a negotiation; read our guide on how to use CASAFARI Connect to learn more.

Why do estate agencies use CASAFARI Connect?

CASAFARI Connect is like no other tool on the market to stimulate partnerships among agencies. Here’s why.

Our real estate database grows by 800 thousand of properties every week

CASAFARI has been growing year after year. According to CASAFARI internal data as of August 2022, our real estate software adds 800,000 new properties every week. This means a monthly growth between 3.5 and 4 million properties.

That’s a supply 1,000% bigger than the closest competitor.

But here’s what matters to you: you don’t need two or three different platforms to find and seal the best real estate deals.

You won’t need one platform to source properties, another to establish partnerships and yet another one to manage leads and clients. CASAFARI gives full access to the market, combined with real estate software that allows you to:

• Find the perfect property for your client
