The Most Accurate Listing Data

Buyfolio's proprietary building database and advanced data algorithms give you and your customers access to the most accurate and detailed listing information for NYC. No other search tool has such comprehensive data and information.

• Search all NYC listings using dozens of parameters including everything from price and number of bedrooms, to building amenities such as gym, pool, and private storage.
• Search for listings based on building criteria that is only available on Buyfolio, including whether dogs are allowed, a doorman is part-time or full-time, if there is a live-in-superintendent, and more!
• Our listings are updated 3x every day and Buyfolio is often the first search tool to display new listings and status changes.

Your customers can also use Buyfolio's search tool (and trust us, they'll love it and thank you for it), but they won't see Commission details and Listed by information – that's reserved for Brokers only.

Simple-to-use Search Interface

Our easy-to-use and intuitive search interface gives you and your customers all the control and tools you need to find the best potential properties.

• Create a customized search for each of your customers, using as few or as many search parameters as you want.
• Search by a specific address or street.
• Receive email updates when new properties that match your criteria come on the market.
• Star listings you're not ready to add to a folio but want to remember to revisit at a later date. Perfect for when a new property comes on the market without pictures or a floorplan.
• Hide listings you don't want to see again.

Your customers can also create their own search in Buyfolio (the more the merrier, right?). We allow Brokers and Homebuyers to search separately and privately, but you will both see every property that is added to a folio.

Unparalleled Co-op Information

Co-ops can present unique challenges for homebuyers, which is why Buyfolio maintains a comprehensive database for over 4,000 NYC co-ops. We not only add this valuable information to our listing data, but we also allow users to search by it. Nope, you can't do that with any other search tool in NYC.

Buyfolio has the below policy information for over 4,000 NYC co-ops:

• Pets
• Pied-a-terres
• Guarantors
• Gifting
• Parents Buying for Children
• Co-purchasing
• Liberal Subletting

Easily Accessible Past Sales and For Sale in this Building

When viewing a listing, either in the search interface or a folio, Buyfolio displays the other units that are for sale in that same building as well as past sales data for that building.

• Past Sales Data: View all the sales dates and sales prices for units that have sold in a particular Manhattan building since 2008.
• For Sale in this Building: View, with the ability to click through, on all the other units that are for sale in a particular building.

Easily and Effectively Collaborate with your Customers

Emailing links is no longer an efficient or desirable way to send and receive property listings. With Buyfolio, you and your customers share listings in a joint folio - the central hub of a home search and a single, easy-to-manage repository for multiple users.

• Buyfolio makes it easier to work with a husband and wife, partners, families, etc. that are collaborating on a home search together by providing one central location to save and share listings.
• Both you and your customers can add listings to a folio, either with a single click from Buyfolio's search interface, or by pasting a listing link from popular websites like the NY Times, StreetEasy, or Trulia.
• Add listings with a note and start a discussion with your customers about a particular property. 99% of the time homebuyers on Buyfolio respond when their broker comments on a property!
• Never send the same listing twice! Whether you add a listing from Buyfolio or another website, show you the results that are already in your folio and in what category they're in. We even do the same for open listings.
• During a listing search, we'll automatically show you the results that are already in your customer's folio and what category they're in.

Stay Organized

Once listings are added to a folio, either the broker or homebuyer can organize them within four categories: To Review, To See, Saw & Liked, and Didn't Like.

• Moving properties between the categories helps your customers stay organized, think critically about properties, and funnel towards the best homebuying decision. The categories help brokers better understand their customers and how best to address their needs.
• Even if you have an offline client, the categories are a great way for you to keep track of what your customers are telling you about particular properties.
• Didn't Like A Listing? Both you and your customers can delete properties from a folio with a single click. When you delete a property we ask you why, save the answer, move it to the Didn't Like folder, AND still track the price and status in case there is a time you want to re-introduce it into the folio.
• Knowing why a customer didn't like a property enables you to find better listings for them and have more productive dialogue.
• When your customer moves a property into the To See category it's the perfect opportunity to schedule a showing or pre-register them for an upcoming Open House.

Always Know What is Happening with Listings

Listings in the folio are updated 3x every day to ensure you and your customers always know when there are price changes, status changes, and upcoming open houses.

• Buyfolio automatically tracks sales prices, status changes, and open houses for properties that are saved in your customers' folios.
• If a listing changes listing agents, we will automatically link the old listing to the new listing in the folio.

Communicate Better

From the moment you or your customer adds a listing to a folio, Buyfolio fosters communication and collaboration, allowing you to better understand your customers and their needs.

• Add listings to a customer's folio with a property-specific note to engage your customer and begin a productive conversation. 99% of the time homebuyers on Buyfolio respond when their broker comments on a property!
• If your customer adds a new listing to the folio, review the property and leave a comment about it for your customer – share your knowledge, tell them what you think, ask a question.
• Share insight and information on properties your customers add to the folio.
• Bring a property to the forefront by commenting on it and re-sparking a conversation.

Email Notifications Keep Everyone in the Loop

Buyfolio emails you and your customer when a property is added to a folio, when a listing is moved from one category to another, or whenever a folio user leaves a comment. Our Pro brokers can also elect to receive real-time notifications of new customer comments.

• Every day your customer receives an email detailing the activity in their folio. They'll see how hard you're working!
• Every time a user accesses the folio, we identify exactly what's new to them – what properties, what comments, etc. so users can easily see what needs their attention.
• We let you and your customers know when they need to respond or react.

A Snapshot of all your Customers

When you log into Buyfolio we take you to your Broker Dashboard, which provides a snapshot of the newest activity in each of your customers' folios.

• See how many new listing results match your saved search for each customer and access the newest listings straight from the Dashboard.
• See how many new comments each customer has left for you in their folios.
• Know how many properties are in each category of a customer's folio.
• Work in only some of your customers' folios without worrying if you're losing important information from the Dashboard. The information for a particular folio doesn't reset until you actually go into that folio.
• Need to remember something about a particular customer? Leave a private note for yourself.

Current and Historical Folio Activity

The Activity Log provides detailed information about everything that has happened in a specific customer's folio. It is accessible from the Dashboard and when you're working in a particular customer's Search or Folio.

• The Activity Log automatically tracks every action that takes place in a folio, from the moment the folio is created.
• Working with another broker? See what properties and comments they've added.
• It's an ideal tool for managers training new staff – as long as your email address is associated to a particular customer's folio you can monitor the other broker's activity.
• Sort the Log by broker activity, customer activity, or system activity (open houses, price changes, etc.) to hone in on the exact activity information you want.

Summary Emails Keep Everyone in Sync

Receive a summary email either once or twice a day with everything that is happening in all your customers' folios. We save you time by letting you know when you need to log in. All your customers' activity in one easy-to-digest email!

• Change your email preferences – only get the emails you want when you want.
• Know when clients add properties and leave comments.
• See when there are price and status changes.
