Just in time for the real estate market to reopen, UnlockdBox has launched a free mobile app that allows licensed real estate agents to instantly request and pay for assistance from other professionals to either have a property unlocked or host an open house for their listing. The launch is focusing on Southern California, but the app and service are available nationally and can be downloaded for free in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
UnlockdBox was designed and created by Rachel White, a Los Angeles-based real estate agent and entrepreneur. Early into her real estate career, White saw both a need and an opportunity to help new and motivated agents expand their peer networks and revenue potential. UnlockdBox creates a space where agents can seek and find the extra help they need to manage their busy work loads and life demands, along with networking to help grow their careers.
“I’m extremely proud to be a working agent who conceived and developed a new productivity tool like UnlockdBox,” said White, founder and CEO of UnlockdBox. “As a busy mom and agent, there were many days when I just felt like I needed another set or two of hands and feet to help me get everything done and other times where I felt like I had some time to be those extra set of hands for another agent,” White added.
UnlockdBox was designed to give agents a competitive advantage to more easily meet their clients’ needs on-demand, harnessing the assistance of other friendly licensed agents at their fingertips to get more transactions completed professionally, ethically and easily. These new transactions and networking will help stabilize income and find new clients in between closings while building a support system to turn to during booming times.
In an industry that is highly competitive and notoriously difficult to become established, UnlockdBox is designed to empower more diversity and democratization of the real estate industry, making a lasting career in real estate more attainable for more people of more types.
Within minutes of setting up the app, real estate agents can find a trustworthy, licensed professional colleague to unlock a house and tour a listing for as little as $30 per gig or sit an open house for free. App users can review posted jobs by fellow licensed agents and submit their credentials to show up for gigs that suit them. Designed with both independent agents as well as brokerages in mind, the app offers flexibility and personalization, allowing the requesting agent to narrow their request to reach their own hand-picked network, or filter down to just agents within their brokerage. There are no costs to use the app, however, UnlockdBox charges a small percentage-based transaction fee for paid gigs. There are no fees for in-app networking opportunities or sitting open houses.
