Generating Leads for Realtors continues to be a hot topic. The Internet has now become a highly targeted marketing tool for Realtors as many are no longer cold-calling and/or door knocking. Most Buyers and Sellers choose to “Shop Around” before choosing a Realtor to work with making ‘first impressions’ more important than ever. Many Realtors are now exploring the use of Buyer and Seller friendly websites that are more about the client and less about the Realtor.
Here you will find some useful information on how Realtors can increase their leads. The tips below will help Real Estate Agents not only get more leads, but how to turn those leads into lucrative sales.
Get yourself top placements with Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines!
80% of Buyers and Sellers start their searches here so you need your websites to have top placement. Separate websites for Sellers and Buyers is a way to accomplish this. Because Buyers and Sellers searches are very different from each other, you need separate websites that get high ranking for both types of clients!
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!
Automated emails of new listings are OK, but a nice personal email goes a long way. These “new listing” email programs are a great tool, but without a personal touch they are all the same!
Website must be user friendly.
If searching for a CMA in a certain area. Sellers don’t want to navigate thru 3 pages of your website just to spend time composing a long email about their home. They want a basic template where they fill in the fields.
A free Buyers or Sellers tool goes a long way!
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.
