Did you know that internet is changing the way relationships work? Just think about it, I know some 20 somethings who didn't consider themselves exclusively dating until it was on Facebook! Most people know that the internet is changing business and really changing the landscape of our economy, but I've found something that has changed the way I look at my business and those relationships. Online Client reviews. Yup, Reviews Work for Me!
If you're not actively getting people write online reviews then you're missing out on some of the best free advertising you could have. Everyone I know in real estate knows the phrase: "Your Referals are important to me." Online reviews act as referrals for people who have never met the person referring them to you.
It's a no brainer. Picking your venue for hosting those reviews can be a bit dicey. Whether you choose Google+, Zillow, Facebook or any other site, these all function as social proof that you are good at what you do!
So, here's my strategy for getting online reviews and reccomendations.
1. Do a good job with the client. (DUH!)
2. Email them the day that you've finished closing their deal and ask if you can call them and talk to them about writing a review.
3. Wait about a day or so,
4. Call them and ask them to go do whichever website you want to focus on and fill out the review.
5. Sit back and watch the Reviews Work for you!
It's really not that complicated, but as with everything else, you just need to make the time to do it!
Good luck and let us know below if online reviews work for you, and if you're interested in more reading here's another great post.
