Under the Sells-Scope: AgentEdge

Featured in Inman News. 

I am sure you have seen the headlines:

"Urgent Alert: Sophisticated Email Scams Targeting the Real Estate”

"Email scam targeting real estate industry gets worse”

"Scammers phish for mortgage closing costs | Consumer Information"

"Working with a Realtor? Watch out for this Scam"

These scams harm our clients, deplete precious funds, add unnecessary complications to the home closing process and, ultimately, tarnish our industry.  To make matters worse, email scams attempt to cheat the brave men and women of our armed forces, or their surviving families, out of the benefits that they are due.

We need change.

And, like we have become accustomed to saying, “there is an app for that”, there may be one to help shift us away from email dependence with lenders.  Have you heard of AgentEdge, the new app from Veterans United Home Loans?

AgentEdge asserts to “empower real estate agents to better serve their Veteran and military clients" with:

*Real-time updates,

*Enhanced communication
**Easily stay in touch with your clients and your Veterans United team,
**Generate pre-approval letters,
**Calculate monthly payments,
**Upload documents, and

*Access to tools and education.

Furthermore, Brian Butcher, Director of Agent Marketing at Veterans United Home Loans, movingly expressed:

 “At Veterans United Home Loans we are passionate about serving veterans, service members and their families. Agents play an integral role in the homebuying process and we want to empower them with resources like our AgentEdge app to feel supremely confident while serving those who served. Whether it’s your first time working with a VA homebuyer or just the latest transaction of many VA loans, there’s something for everyone in this app.”

I truly got the "warm and fuzzies" from Butcher's statement of dedication but does the app deliver? Should you add the AgentEdge app to your smartphone's home screen?
