Every listing, viewing and review on one tap.

Three moments, and a card is only useful in one of them

Estate agency runs on three hand-overs and they are not equivalent. At a valuation you are being judged against two other agents who will stand in the same hallway this week, and the thing that helps is proof — reviews, recent sales, a face the vendor remembers. At a viewing the visitor is one of eleven that Saturday and the only thing that matters is that they can reach you when they decide. At an open house you are collecting names faster than you can write them down.

A plain paper card is equally useless at all three, but for different reasons. At the valuation it carries no proof. At the viewing it carries a number that may have changed. At the open house it goes one way only — you give, and hear nothing back unless somebody chooses to ring.

What actually happens at the door

You hold the card out. They tap it against their phone, or point the camera at the printed QR, and your page opens — your direct line, your WhatsApp, a link to the listings you are currently marketing, a booking link for a viewing or a valuation, and your reviews. It takes about a second and they install nothing, which at an open house is the whole game: nobody downloads an app while standing in somebody else's kitchen.

Then the part a plain paper card cannot do. They can send their own name and number back to you from the same page, in a couple of taps, without an account. It arrives in your dashboard tagged to the card that collected it, which means you know it came from Saturday's open house rather than from a networking breakfast three weeks ago. How contact-back works.

It is a cleaner record than a clipboard, for the plain reason that the visitor typed it themselves and pressed send — nothing is transcribed from somebody's handwriting and nothing is left on a windowsill at the end of the day. What you then do with that record is governed by your own privacy notice; ours is on the trust page, and the controls a person has over their own details are on privacy controls.

A whole branch, one brand, and nobody drifting

The problem with cards across a branch is not printing them. It is that within a year one negotiator has last year's logo, another has ordered their own in a different blue, and a third hands out a scrap of paper. To a vendor that does not look like one firm. It looks like several people who happen to share a window display.

You set the brand once — your logo, your colours, the default card material — and everybody you invite gets a card and a profile built from it. They add their own name, role and direct line, and nothing else. You can lock the brand so it cannot be overridden, which is the setting that actually stops the drift. How several people sit under one account.

Leavers are the other half of it, and this trade feels them more than most. When a negotiator moves on, their card can be pointed at somebody else or switched off from the dashboard — without getting the card back, which you were never going to. The vendors holding it may instruct you again in two years, and it should still reach your branch rather than a stranger.

The referrals you already make, made traceable

Most agents are quietly a referral network — a conveyancer, a broker, a surveyor, a removals firm — and most of that traffic is invisible. A profile can carry those links alongside your own details, and because every card is counted separately you can see which of your people are actually passing work on. It is a small thing that turns a favour into something you can talk about at renewal.

What it costs

Cards are £24 for plastic, £35 for bamboo and £59 for metal — paid once, posted free in the UK — and the team pack is five plastic cards for £95. The profile, the QR, the contact-back form and the tap counting are free whether you buy a card or not, and there is no subscription on any of it. For a branch that is a one-off cost per person rather than a per-seat licence that grows every time you hire.

You can set a profile up for nothing and share it by QR at this weekend's viewings before ordering anything. Full pricing, or how the cards themselves work.
