Realtor Lead Systems
How to generate more real estate leads has always been a hot topic with Realtors. With many Realtors no longer door knocking or cold-calling, the Internet has become a focus point for Realtors looking to generate real estate leads. With fierce competition and buyers and sellers ’shopping around’ before choosing someone to represent them, Realtors now need to offer free tools such as user friendly websites that are about the client, not about the Realtor.
Below are tips how Realtors can increase their leads. Not only will these tips increase the amount of leads, but they will also show Realtors how to convert leads into sales!
Get high placement in search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Buyers and Sellers now begin their searches with top search engines so your website needs to rank high! A successful way to do this is with separate websites for Buyers and Sellers. As search criteria is different for Sellers than Buyers, you will need high ranking websites for BOTH!
Free services should be offered with your website
Make your website about your clients needs! You could do this by offering a free online CMA. This can be offered by a form they fill out online and then email back to you. Most Sellers are a little apprehensive to give out a contact number. This way they are only giving you their email address in exchange for your professional CMA.
Go above and beyond!
Daily emails of new listings is fine, but be sure to also send your client a personal email every ‘now and then’. Remember, if you forget about them, they will have long forgotten about you.
User friendly websites are a MUST!
If a Seller is searching for a CMA in your area, they don’t want to take time navigating thru a website and end up typing a long email about their home. If they do this, they will likely copy that email and send it to 10 other Realtors in your area. A Seller wants a basic template where they just fill in the fields.
Offer free Buying and Selling tools to your clients.
A free eBook on home staging is a great gift that any Seller would appreciate. Get the edge over your competition by offering your clients something they don’t have!
Most real estate boards provide Realtors with standard tools that ALL Realtors are able to offer their clients, making competition fierce. In order to separate yourself, you should explore different options. I feel internet marketing is the way of the future and with Buyers and Sellers shopping online; YOU NEED to put yourself in front of them. You could be the best Realtor in your market but without the proper tools, you will continue to struggle.
