What happens when you get a new smartphone and not all of your contacts show up?

Or you just can’t connect or stay connected to the Internet?

In today’s world, keeping your basic technology working is vital to providing your clients great service. That’s why the Kansas Association of REALTORS® offers Tech Helpline as a standard member service, to make sure you have a basic tech support lifeline if you get stuck using your go-to technology.

About Tech Helpline

Tech Helpline was created by Florida Realtors®, the second largest state Realtor association in the U.S. for REALTORS®, and is the real estate industry’s #1 tech support service. Located in Orlando, Florida, which houses its entire U.S.-based staff, Tech Helpline is available to one in three REALTORS® in North America: more than 500,000 REALTORS® in the U.S. and Canada have access to Tech Helpline. Its team has nearly 300 years of combined IT experience and provides technology support by phone, chat and email.

This gives you access to a highly experienced, bi-lingual (English and Spanish) technical support staff that has earned a reputation as the “Genius Bar for Real Estate” because they only work with real estate agents and brokers. They understand your business and know how to adjust to your technical skill level, so if you are a novice – or have deep technical experience – Tech Helpline staff will make you feel right at home.

It’s a service that is provided at no extra cost to you.
This is your included member benefit that provides technical support services for a wide range of your software and hardware needs, from smartphones and tablets, to desktops, laptops, email problems, virus issues and more.

Don’t be afraid to reach out for help

We all know that tech support is only as good as the people on the other side of the connection, whether it be by phone, chat or email. That’s where Tech Helpline excels, and why its popularity among MLS, Associations and brokerages is so strong. Tech Helpline has a reputation for providing technical advice that is delivered by warm, friendly, and customer service-focused technicians.

The key to great customer service in tech support, explains Tricia Stamper at Florida Realtors, who is responsible for Tech Helpline, “is to be a chameleon.”

“Some agents are highly tech savvy, and others are on the other side of the spectrum; the Tech Helpline staff is able to figure out the difference and adjust to help each agent or broker fix their problem and not feel bad about calling,” she said, adding, “They remove the ‘fear’ many agents have about calling tech support because Tech Helpline analysts know not to talk down to someone, or over their head. I think most agents would tell you that’s a welcome breath of fresh air among tech support experiences.”
