SMS Message Writing Guide
Obviously when constructing your property information you want to include as much information in the least amount of space. There are many abbreviations in the world of text messaging many being incomprehensable to the general public. We encourage you to use abbreviations in your text messages but also suggest you do not abbreviate too much else your potential clients will have no idea what their SMS message is all about.
To this end we have created a brief list of acceptable abberviations, however if you know any other useful abbreviations (that can be understood by the general public) then please let us know.
Note: All IPI return messages automatically include your agency's phone number, name, property value/price so there is no need to include this information.
