John L. Scott Real Estate
Seattle, Washington, USA
John L. Scott Real Estate (JLS), with its headquarters in the suburbs of Seattle, ranks fourth as a locally based real estate company. It has 115 offices in the States of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. To JLS, agents make the company and an agent's work is in the field. JLS has been ahead of its rivals in introducing cutting-edge technology to support its agents. Now Starbucks has become an indispensable partner. 3,000 JLS agents who are equipped with wireless tools take advantage of Starbucks' HotSpot service, and can recreate the office environment while in the field.
For a while JLS has been using nearby Starbucks locations for its in-house meetings, but with HotSpot service a Starbucks coffeehouse can now be converted into a satellite office, for agents to drop in during their fieldwork. When an agent finds a house for sale while in the field, he or she can stop by at a nearby Starbucks to find out the owner of the house by logging in to the database. Digital photos of the properties can be uploaded for an immediate posting on the website. All procedures in the real estate business can be performed in real time, without delay. This is a powerful tool to help raise the chance of success in the ever-competitive real estate industry.
