HELLO TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
Hello has launched a Wi-Fi Proximity Marketing System, HelloConnect, which allows buyers to log on to the system at every Hello listing giving them instant access to all of the property information, photos, floor-plans, Contract, Building Inspection Report and a direct connection to Mortgage products. The HelloConnect System is also available at the sign so anyone stopping at the property has the same access to the information.
This system also connects buyers directly to Hello Bid-N-Buy Hello’s innovative Property Auction Platform, partnered with BidRhino that allows buyers to start bidding, once they register, immediately after they inspect the property. This system is similar to the way E-Bay allows sellers to auction items in real time.

Hello through a partnership with VOW Financial, launched ‘Hello Finance’ in Sydney on 14 August 2015. This will create new revenue streams for Hello from Mortgage Product and Insurance referrals through the Hello network of Licensees. VOW have moved into the top four Mortgage Aggregators in Australia since they combined their business with Yellow Brick Road.
