Leaders and agents get up close look at app that is changing how people maintain and repair their home
Frontdoor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTDR), the nation’s leading provider of home service plans with about two million members, unveiled the Frontdoor® app to the real estate community at the T3 Technology Summit produced by T3 Sixty on October 23-25 in Fort Worth, Texas.
“The app was launched to consumers in April, but the T3 Technology Summit was our first big unveiling to the real estate community,” said Jes Fields, Frontdoor’s Chief Sales Officer and the company’s point person to the real estate category.
“The Frontdoor app is an industry disrupter and a great tool for real estate agents, home buyers, and home sellers who need immediate access to licensed tradespeople,” Fields said. “For instance, a home seller reached out to us in the app because they failed their home inspection due to their water heater being hooked up incorrectly. The seller did a video chat with one of our Experts and was able to quickly correct the problem. We truly believe this kind of support will really help agents keep the home-selling process on track for their clients.”
The T3 Technology Summit is specifically tailored for professionals in technology and marketing from the real estate category who want to see the leading solutions available.
Frontdoor brought that goal to life through an immersive exhibit and experience. Summit attendees were given the opportunity to solve one of three typical problems homeowners may experience – assembling a kitchen faucet, programming a battery-operated thermostat, and rescuing a ring from the drain – with the help of a Frontdoor Expert they spoke to in real-time via video chat.
To add to the experience, Frontdoor donated $50 to SkillsUSA for every problem solved. Many attendees took part in the experience exhibit over the three days of the T3 Technology Summit, and the company rounded up its total donation to $10,000.
“SkillsUSA is helping to educate young people about the opportunities in the skilled trades, and we thank the T3 Technology Summit and T3 Sixty for providing a large venue to help this great cause,” Fields said.
The Frontdoor app is available to download now on iPhone and Android. For more information, visit www.frontdoor.com.
