Anvil Real Estate, a premier brokerage based in South Orange County, California, prides itself on innovation and efficiency in real estate operations. With 94 agents and offices in Laguna Hills, Newport Beach, La Jolla, and Los Angeles, Anvil Real Estate has built a reputation for providing top-tier technology and tools to its agents.
However, like many brokerages, they faced a significant challenge: outdated and ineffective business cards. Traditional paper cards were often lost, discarded, or outdated, leading to missed connections and lost opportunities.
Enter LynkMe Cards—a cutting-edge digital business card solution that streamlined lead capture, enhanced follow-ups, and improved agent productivity.
For nearly 20 years, Dan Smith, Founder of Anvil Real Estate, was a vocal critic of traditional paper business cards. He observed that:
“The whole real estate industry's use of business cards is absurd. I’d get 10 paper business cards a week and toss them before I even got home. They just don’t work.” – Dan Smith
Despite recognizing the inefficiencies, Dan hadn't found a viable digital alternative that was both user-friendly and scalable for his brokerage—until LynkMe came along.
Dan was introduced to LynkMe through a trusted mutual connection, which led him to schedule a meeting. The moment he saw the live demo, everything clicked.
✅ Instant Contact Sharing: Agents could tap or scan a QR code to share their contact details directly to a client’s phone.
✅ CRM Integration: All captured leads automatically synced into Follow Up Boss (FUB) for seamless follow-ups.
✅ Branding & Customization: The brokerage could custom-brand digital cards for all agents.
✅ Eliminated Reprinting Costs: Agents no longer needed thousands of paper business cards that would eventually become outdated.
✅ Enhanced Follow-Ups & Lead Capture: With a built-in lead capture feature, agents collected real phone numbers and emails instead of dealing with illegible or fake sign-ins at open houses.
"It was more than just a digital business card. LynkMe allowed us to get our contact information onto a prospect’s phone—where it wouldn’t get lost—AND capture their information instantly." – Dan Smith
Within weeks of adopting LynkMe, Anvil Real Estate made a complete shift from traditional business cards to digital:
“We replaced one expense (paper business cards) with another (LynkMe), but the value is 10X greater.” – Dan Smith
"Before, only about 3 or 4 out of 10 leads were actually usable. Now, with LynkMe, that number is 8 or 9 out of 10. That’s a massive difference in follow-up opportunities." – Dan Smith
“With LynkMe, agents can instantly update their photos, videos, and even add links to their Google and Zillow reviews—something a paper card could never do.” – Dan Smith
“Giving agents tools they actually use makes a huge difference. It’s not just about telling them to get business—it’s about equipping them to do it efficiently.” – Dan Smith
Since adopting LynkMe Cards, Anvil Real Estate has fully embraced the digital revolution, setting the standard for modern, tech-driven real estate networking.
Instead of relying on paper business cards that get tossed, their agents now connect instantly, capture leads effectively, and close more deals.
“If you’re running a brokerage and still handing out paper business cards, you’re missing out. LynkMe is the future—it’s time to go digital.” – Dan Smith
