How to Use Instagram Messenger to Coordinate Property Showings (And How eProfitify Enhances the Process)

The real estate industry thrives on urgency, personalization, and seamless communication. With 72% of home buyers starting their search online (National Association of Realtors, 2023) and 90% of Instagram’s 2 billion users following at least one business (Meta, 2023), platforms like Instagram have become indispensable for real estate professionals. Instagram Messenger (IG Messenger) is emerging as a powerful tool to coordinate property showings efficiently. Paired with eProfitify—a leading website publishing and management platform with integrated CRM, instant messaging, and appointment systems—agents can streamline workflows, nurture leads, and close deals faster.

Why Instagram Messenger for Property Showings?

1. Instant Communication
   Homebuyers expect rapid responses. A 2023 study by HubSpot revealed that 79% of customers expect a reply within 24 hours of contacting a business via social media—with 40% demanding answers in under an hour. IG Messenger’s real-time chat feature lets agents respond instantly, fostering trust and engagement.

2. High User Engagement
   Instagram dominates Gen Z and millennial audiences, with 62% of users aged 18–34 (Statista, 2023). These demographics are prime candidates for first-time home purchases, making IG Messenger an ideal channel to connect.

3. Multimedia Sharing
   Agents can share property videos, photos, and virtual tours directly through DMs, catering to visual-driven clients. Listings with videos receive 403% more inquiries than those without (Arizona State University, 2022).

Step-by-Step: Coordinating Showings via Instagram Messenger

1. Optimize Your Instagram Business Profile

• Claim a Business Account: Ensure your profile is categorized as “Real Estate Agent” or “Real Estate Service” to access analytics and automation tools.
• Enable Quick Replies: Save templated responses (e.g., “Thanks for inquiring! Let me check availability.”) to expedite communication.

eProfitify Integration: Sync your IG business account with eProfitify’s CRM to auto-log interactions, track lead sources, and segment contacts based on interests.

2. Automate Initial Responses with Chatbots

Use Instagram’s automated “Welcome Message” or third-party tools to acknowledge inquiries instantly. Example:
“Hi [Name]! 👋 Want to schedule a showing? Reply with your preferred date/time!”

eProfitify Advantage: Deploy AI chatbots via eProfitify to qualify leads (e.g., “Are you pre-approved?”) and route serious buyers to your calendar.

3. Schedule Appointments via Direct Messages

• Share available time slots within DMs using IG’s date/time picker or link to your booking calendar.
• Confirm details with a follow-up message:
  “Confirmed! See you at 123 Main St. on Friday at 3 PM. Need parking info?”

eProfitify’s Appointment Management: Sync IG inquiries with eProfitify’s scheduling system to avoid double-booking and send automated SMS/email reminders.

4. Share Property Details Securely

• Upload videos, floor plans, or 3D walkthroughs directly to DMs.
• Use voice notes for personalized explanations.

eProfitify’s Ecommerce Tools: Share encrypted documents (e.g., NDAs) or collect deposits via integrated payment gateways for in-demand properties.

5. Post-Showing Follow-Up

• Send a DM after the showing: “What did you think? 🙌 Let’s discuss next steps!”
• Use polls or quizzes to gauge interest.

eProfitify CRM Power: Log feedback, set follow-up reminders, and trigger tailored email campaigns (e.g., “Similar listings in your budget!”).

Overcoming Challenges with eProfitify

1. Time Management
   Managing multiple DMs across properties can be chaotic. eProfitify centralizes conversations from Instagram, email, and WhatsApp into one dashboard, ensuring no lead slips through.

2. Data Security
   IG Messenger lacks built-in security for sensitive data. eProfitify encrypts financial transactions and client information, complying with GDPR and CCPA standards.

3. Lead Nurturing
   48% of agents say lead nurturing is their biggest hurdle (Datto, 2022). eProfitify automates follow-ups using behavioral triggers (e.g., sending a “Price Drop” alert if a buyer viewed a listing but didn’t schedule a showing).

Key Statistics Highlighting the Opportunity

• 77% of realtors actively use social media, with Instagram driving 59% of engagement (NAR, 2023).
• Businesses using chat tools see a 3x faster lead conversion rate (Meta, 2023).
• eProfitify users report a 35% reduction in administrative tasks and a 20% increase in closed deals due to automation.

• Unified CRM: Track every client interaction from IG DMs to closing.
