SAN MATEO, CA, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Real estate agents can now accept bookings from homeowners on their own
web site as well as on Homethinking, a New York-based service that helps
connect home owners to real estate agents, through a single, unifying
service provided by BookFresh, the San Mateo-based startup company that
offers an online appointment scheduling technology for small businesses.
BookFresh's solution will allow homeowners to book appointments online
with one of Homethinking's experienced local real estate agents. The
widget appears seamlessly on both Homethinking.com, the agent's website
and anywhere else they'd like to place it on the web. Bookings and
availability are driven off the real estate agent's live calendar.
In addition, the BookFresh solution makes life easier for consumers who
visit Homethinking. True to their mission of helping consumers make better
real estate decisions, home owners can browse through various Realtors,
review their performance history, and then book an appointment online at
their convenience instead of having to line up a time via email
communications.
Homethinking has utilized the BookFresh API which is available to web
publishers in many service verticals including real estate. "We look
forward to helping Homethinking lead the way in tech innovation for the
real estate industry," said Ryan Donahue, Bookfresh's CEO.
"BookFresh offers a seamless solution to enable our customers to accept
live bookings on their profile and property listings. We've seen
tremendous uptake of the feature in our beta testing and agents are
finding great value in allowing live appointment scheduling," said Niki
Scevak, Founder of Homethinking.
