Your app, your buyers

Which brokerage gives agents a mobile app for their buyers?

Vince Young Realty does. Agents get a mobile app for their own work and a branded app experience for their buyers, with home search, saved searches and new-listing alerts, all on a 90/10 split and a $250 flat monthly fee.

Two apps, one for you and one for your buyers

Vince Young Realty gives agents a mobile app for running their business and a branded app experience for their buyers. Your buyers search homes, save searches and get new-listing alerts in an experience tied to you, not to a national portal.

It comes with the rest of the package: a 90/10 split, a $250 flat monthly fee, no transaction fees on sales or leases, a custom luxury website and the AGNT AI CRM.

The problem with buyers searching on portals

Most buyers already have a home search app on their phone. The trouble is whose app it is. When a buyer you are working with taps "contact agent" on a listing inside a portal, that inquiry can go to whoever the portal chooses to show, and it may not be you.

A buyer app tied to your brand fixes the channel. Searches, favorites and questions stay between the buyer and you. Each saved home tells you something about what they want, and none of it is shared with a competing agent. For an agent working with, say, 12 active buyers at a time, that is 12 search histories you can actually see.

There is a retention angle too. A buyer who searches in your app for 6 months before buying is reminded of you every time an alert arrives. After closing, the same app keeps you close when they start thinking about the next move or refer a friend.

What your buyers see on their phones

  • Home search across MLS listings, filtered the way they want: price, beds, baths, home size, lot size.
  • Saved searches they can set once and leave running.
  • New-listing alerts when something matching their criteria comes on the market.
  • Your branding, so every search reminds them who they are working with.

The same search lives on your included luxury website, so a buyer can start on a laptop and pick it up on a phone.

What the agent app and the CRM do with it

Buyer activity is only useful if it reaches you in time to act on it. Saved searches and alerts connect to the AGNT AI suite, where the CRM keeps the record and your AI assistant, Grant, can draft follow-up. Automated saved-search alerts go to clients without you rebuilding searches by hand, and the agent app keeps you working from wherever you are.

In practice, that means fewer surprises. You see when a buyer starts saving homes at a higher price point, or when a quiet client suddenly saves five listings in one evening. Both are reasons to pick up the phone the next morning, and the agent app puts that signal in your pocket instead of in an inbox you check once a day.

If you already work in Follow Up Boss, the CRM integrates with it. Details are on our AI CRM page.

A buyer search across Central Texas

Here is a hypothetical. A couple relocating to the Austin area wants 4 bedrooms under $550,000, and they are open to Pflugerville, Hutto and Kyle. Their agent sets up three saved searches in the branded app during the first call. Over the next 3 weeks, alerts surface 9 new matches. The buyers save 4, the agent sees which ones in the CRM and books showings on the 2 they return to most.

They go under contract on a $520,000 home. At a hypothetical 3% buyer-side commission (negotiable in Texas), gross is $15,600, and at 90/10 the agent keeps $14,040, with no transaction fee taken out.

Frequently asked questions

What is a branded buyer app in real estate?

A branded buyer app is a home search experience your clients use on their phones that carries your name instead of a portal's. Buyers search listings, save homes and get alerts, and their activity goes to you. It differs from a portal app, where the portal controls who gets the inquiry. At Vince Young Realty, agents get a branded app experience for their buyers, with home search, saved searches and new-listing alerts, plus a mobile app for the agent.

Does the buyer app cost the agent anything extra?

At Vince Young Realty, the mobile app for agents and the branded app experience for buyers are part of what the brokerage provides. They are not a separate subscription you pay for. The brokerage terms are a 90/10 split, a $250 flat monthly fee and no transaction fees on sales or leases. Buyers do not pay to use it. For the complete fee schedule, ask us on a call at (512) 785-7489.

When should I invite a buyer onto the app?

As early as possible, ideally during your first real conversation about what they want. Setting up saved searches together on that first call means alerts start working for them right away, and you learn their priorities from what they save. Waiting until after the buyer consultation often means they have already built habits on a portal app. At Vince Young Realty, the saved searches you set up also connect to your CRM, so the relationship is tracked from day one.

How is a brokerage-provided buyer app different from a portal app?

The difference is who owns the relationship. On a portal, the buyer is the portal's user, and inquiries may be routed to agents who pay for placement. On a branded app, the buyer is your client, their saved homes and searches are visible to you, and new-listing alerts come from you. Portals still have value for exposure. For buyers already working with you, keeping them in your own app keeps their activity with you.

How do buyers get set up on the app?

Typically, you invite the buyer, they create an account and you help them set up one or more saved searches with their price range, location and must-haves. From then on, new-listing alerts go out automatically when matching homes hit the market. At Vince Young Realty, those searches and the buyer's activity connect to the AGNT AI CRM, where Grant can draft follow-up. We will walk you through the exact invite steps when you join.

What is the most common mistake agents make with buyer apps?

Inviting the buyer and then ignoring what the app tells you. When a buyer saves the same kind of home three times, drops their price range or starts searching a new area, that is a conversation waiting to happen. Agents who only use the app as an alert machine miss it. Check saved homes before every call, and let your CRM flag activity so you respond while the interest is fresh.

Does the app work for buyers searching around Austin and nearby counties?

Buyers in Central Texas rarely search one city. A typical search compares areas across Travis, Williamson and Hays counties on price, size and lot. A branded buyer app with saved searches handles that well, since a buyer can keep several searches running at once. Austin also has an active lease market, and renters use saved searches and alerts too. Ask us on a call how searches are set up for the areas and property types you work.

What does a buyer app look like in a real transaction?

Take a hypothetical first-time buyer in Georgetown with a $400,000 budget. On day one, her agent sets up a saved search in the branded app. Two weeks later, an alert arrives on a Thursday morning for a new listing. She saves it within the hour, the CRM flags the save and the agent books a showing for that afternoon. She writes an offer that evening. The alert, the save and the follow-up all ran through the agent, not a portal.

Does the buyer app replace my website?

No, they work together. Your website is how new people find you, especially through Google and AI assistants that read server-rendered pages. The buyer app is how clients who are already working with you keep searching day to day. At Vince Young Realty you get both: a custom luxury website built on Savvy Studio with IDX search, and a branded app experience for buyers. Searches and leads from both flow into the same CRM.

Why Vince Young Realty, and what is the next step?

Because the buyer app is part of a full package built for agents who want to keep more: a 90/10 split, a $250 flat monthly fee, no transaction fees on sales or leases, a custom luxury website, free yard signs, listing print, the AGNT AI CRM with Grant, and access to health and private club benefits (contact us for details).
