Hello, may I speak to Karen?
Speaking. Who’s calling?
This is Jimmy. Nice to speak to you. I saw your introduction of the apartment via the video at the property agency’s mobile application.
Oh, thank you. May I help you? Do you have any questions?
The video is very informative.
Thanks again. Are you interested in purchasing or renting a house?
I’m planning to purchase a new apartment.
It’s cool. Home prices are now beginning to slowly rise and there are more people checking if it’s the right time to purchase the houses due to the potential growth.
As you’ve explained the detail professionally at the video, I would like to know more about the latest market situation.
You’re welcome. My pleasure.
What do you think of the house price?
I’m grateful that you’re patient enough to listen to my briefing before. If your purpose is not for investment, I think you can start to take more visits and perform the research.
As my family will increase one new member, I’m planning to purchase a new apartment due to the insufficient space.
No problem. Will you consider to stay at the existing area or move to other area?
I prefer not to move to other area. It would be better for the location to be closer to my parents. They can conveniently take care of the baby without travelling a lot.
That’s great. Do you have any budget range?
Not at the moment. I’ve continually browsed the property information of your mobile APP.
Hey, thanks for your support of my company. Is it helpful?
Definitely yes. I’m impressed by the Virtual Reality (VR) function. It saves me much of the time by virtually visiting properties without leaving my home.
The experience is extraordinary because it’s a three-dimensional (3-D) digital walkthrough for a full property online.
I can feel that I’m present in that place. I can control where to visit and when to stop during the virtual tour. Each of the position can be enlarged for my thorough checking.
It’s also fabulous for the clear and 3-D view including the landscape and direction of the flat. You need not rush for the time and can freely navigate and repeatedly access the flat anytime.
I used to view photos and videos in the past when browsing similar mobile APP. Surprisingly, when I explore the property now via your mobile APP, I can also view the floor plan from different angles.
It can help me to get a more dynamic feel for the space. Moreover, I can understand better how I should put the furniture and arrange design for my dream home in the future.
Are you aware of different design options that can be added at the VR screen?
Oh, my goodness. You mean that I can view the simulated screens with my selected design.
Exactly. You can visualize the final effect as reference. It’s undeniable that there are so much benefits to customers.
Next time, you can ask me questions instantly during having a VR tour. I can guide you through the virtual tour. It can solve your uncertainty and worries immediately. Or you can also have text-chat with me via different social media platforms.
I can’t believe that being a property agent is now required to be a fast learner of new application.
We can only survive by improving ourselves and embracing technology under such transformation of real estate.
If not, we’ll be eliminated from the society. Please have rest assured that I’ll try my best efforts to serve you well. I’ll feedback your queries at my earliest convenience.
In the past one week, I’ve already virtually visited over twenty flats.
Did you narrow down some of them that can meet your criteria?
Yes, I did. It’s unexpected to me that I can get the reference valuation of the apartment from the mobile APP instantly.
That’s right. It’s another new application of technology that our system was linked up with the bank’s system to get the reference valuation in a moment.
In the past, I gave a call to the bank’s customer service centre and asked for the valuation of the apartment.
Technology has raised the customer experience. It’s as simple as clicking on the button and getting the latest valuation instantly.
It could not be compared when one to two days was required for getting the valuation in the past. Hey, I also found that there was a comparison tool that I could add on each of the flat for comparison.
It’s a new tool for helping you to have a glance of review of floor, location and other historical data with a better way of presentation. With our essential data including market news and insights, you can smartly make the purchase decision.
By the way, did you try the mortgage calculator?
Certainly. I can check the highest amount of a mortgage that I can afford to repay based on my monthly salary. It’s so user-friendly to adjust different parameters such as monthly income, interest rate and loan period and get the figures.
If you would like to calculate the monthly payment, the calculator is also able to quickly come up with the figures.
It indeed solves my pain points because it’s the one-stop and value-added means for me to understand the cost of the mortgage and the payment plan for my budget planning.
In addition, to facilitate your speedy selection of the house, you can also use different filtering options e.g., characteristics of the flat, selling prices compared to the market and developers of the whole real estate.
If you’ve already narrowed down the choices, can you advise me your available schedule for taking a physical visit of the flats?
I’ll reply you for the address of the interested apartments and time slot. Can you help to arrange with the owners?
Great. By the way, are you also interested in the first-hand property market?
I’m open to it as soon as it’s good value for the money.
I’ll send you some property showcases that are from large developers and currently under construction. It’s at the same location of your existing living area. One of the developers is now offering 10% discount of the selling price.
It sounds attractive to me. Please provide me more details.
B: Sure. Again, the virtual visualization can free up your time while providing a realistic presentation of both the exterior and interior of property. Let me send you the information first and talk to you later.
WITH CHINESE SCRIPT
您好，我想找凱倫？
請講，請問您是誰？
這是吉米，很高興與您對話，我在地產公司手機應用程式的視頻看到了您介紹樓房。
哦謝謝，請問我有什麼可以幫到您？您有任何問題嗎？
該視頻非常資訊性。
再次感謝，您有興趣購買或租樓房嗎？
我打算購買一套新樓房。
這很酷，房價現在開始緩慢上漲，由於潛在的增長，越來越多人正在檢視是否是購買房屋的合適時機。
由於您在視頻中專業地介紹，我想了解更多有關最新的市場情況。
不用客氣，這是我的榮幸。
您覺得房價怎麼樣？
感謝您之前能耐心聽取我的介紹，如您的目的不是為了投資，我想您可以開始多參觀樓房和進行市場調研。
由於我的家庭將增加一名新成員，空間不足，我打算購買一套新樓房。
沒問題，您會考慮繼續居住於現有地區還是搬到其他地區？
我不想搬到其他地區，如位置離我父母近一點就更好，他們可以方便地照顧嬰兒，而無需經常出行太遠。
那太棒了，您有任何預算的範圍嗎？
現在沒有，我一直在瀏覽您們手機應用程式的樓房資訊。
嘻，感謝您對我公司的支持，資訊是否有用嗎？
絕對有，虛擬實境(VR)功能給我留下了深刻的印象。不用離開家就可以遠程參觀樓房，這為我節省了很多時間。
這種體驗超凡，因它提供於網上完整看樓房的三維空間(3-D)介紹。
我能感覺到我就在那個地方，在遠程參觀樓房期間，我可以控制參觀的地點和時間，每個位置都可以放大以供我詳細檢查。
清晰的三維空間視圖，包括樓房的景觀和方向也非常棒，您無需趕時間，可隨時自由參觀和重覆出入樓房。
以前瀏覽類似的手機應用程式都是看照片和視頻，令人驚訝的是，當我現在通過您的的手機應用程式瀏覽樓房時，我還可以從不同角度查看平面圖。
它可以幫助我獲得對空間更動態的感覺，而且，我更明白我未來的夢想住所應該如何擺放家具和佈置設計。
您是否知道可以在虛擬實境屏幕上添加不同的設計選項？
哦，我的天啊，您的意思是我可以用我選擇的設計查看模擬後的景象。
正是，您可以將最終效果視為參考，不可否認的是，它給客戶帶來這麼多的好處。
下次，您可以在進行虛擬實境參觀樓房時立即向我提問，我可於您參觀期間提供指導，並可以立即解決您的不明確和擔憂，或您也可以通過不同的社交媒體平台與我進行文字聊天。
我不敢相信現在需要成為一名房地產經紀須快速學習新的應用。
在這樣的地產轉型下，我們唯有提升自己，擁抱科技才能生存。
否則，我們就會被社會淘汰，請放心，我會盡我最大的努力為您服務，我會儘早反饋您的提問。
在過去的一週裡，我已經遠程參觀了二十多個樓房。
您是否縮窄了一些符合您要求的範圍？
是的，出乎我意料的是，我可以立即從手機應用程式上獲得樓房的參考估價。
對，我們的手機應用程式和銀行的系統已連接，可以即時得到參考估值，這也是一個新的技術應用。
以前我須要給銀行客服中心打過電話，詢問樓房的估價。
科技提升了客戶體驗，只需點擊按鈕即可立即獲得最新的估價。
與以往估價需要一兩天時間無法比較，嘿，我還發現有一個比較工具，我可以在每個單位上添加以進行比較。
這是以更好的方式幫助您一覽樓層、位置等歷史數據的新工具，借助我們的基本數據，包括市場新聞和見解，您可以明智地做出購買決定。
順便問一下，您試過用按揭計算機嗎？
當然有，我可以根據我的月薪查看我可以償還的最高抵押貸款數額，調整月收入、利率和貸款期限等不同參數並獲得資料，非常人性化。
如果您想計算月供，計算機也能快速計算出數值。
它確實解決了我的痛點，因為這是預算規劃的一站式增值服務，讓我了解按揭貸款的成本和付款計劃詳情。
此外，為了方便您快速選房，您還可以使用不同的篩選選項，例如樓房特徵、售價對比市場和整個樓盤的開發商。
如果您已經縮窄選擇範圍，您能告訴我可實地參觀樓房的時間表嗎？
我會回覆您感興趣的樓房地址和時間段，可以幫忙跟業主安排嗎？
太好了，順便一提，您也對一手樓市感興趣嗎？
只要它物有所值，我就會感興趣。
我將向您發送一些來自大型開發商且目前正在建設中的房產展示，它與您現有的生活地區是相同，其中一位開發商現在提供售價的10%折扣。
這聽起來對我很有吸引力，請提供更多詳情。
當然可以，同樣，虛擬可視化可以釋放您的時間，同時提供樓房外部和內部的真實景觀，我先把資料發給你，等會兒再跟您介紹。
