Can I text leads from Zillow or my website?

Only with consent. Add clear text-consent language to your lead forms so every inquiry is opted in from the start, and keep a record of when and how each lead consented. Portal leads who gave a number without text consent should get a call or email first.

How do I send a listing alert to just the right buyers?

Keep lists by criteria: neighborhood, price range, beds. A mass texting platform sends each buyer an individual message with their name merged in, and replies come back privately so two interested buyers never see each other.

Should I text from my cell or a business number?

Bulk sends should come from a registered business number (toll-free or 10DLC), which keeps campaigns deliverable and keeps conversations in a shared inbox your team can cover. Your cell stays for the one-on-one relationships it is good at.
