- 09/12/18 09:01 AM
As a real estate agent, you know how critical it is to have new leads coming in on a regular basis. But it’s important not to get hung up on quantity over quality.

1. Ask for ReferralsPeople trust recommendations from friends or family more than any other source of marketing, so a referral from a past client means a far higher quality lead. On top … (0 comments)

real estate leads: How to Nurture Your Garden of Prospects to Blossom into Clients
- 08/16/16 12:13 AM
Have you ever tried growing a vegetable garden? For several summers I’ve attempted to grow tomatoes, but between long weekends, summertime travel, and my own forgetfulness, my poor tomato plants have never flourished. I haven’t done a good job of nurturing the plants consistently enough to reap the benefits of fresh tomatoes.
For plants to thrive, they need the right mix of sunshine, water, and regular care. It’s surprisingly similar to your real estate leads! To see your leads really “blossom” into clients, they need the right mix of contact, content, and approach. Let me explain what I mean.

real estate leads: How Many Lead Contacts Does it Take to Create a Client?
- 08/17/15 04:37 AM
Leads are an important part of any real estate agent’s business. Yet too often, leads are mismanaged and not given the proper attention. It’s amazing when you think about it – some agents will spend a fortune on websites and SEO, for the purpose attracting and capturing leads…and then do very little with them!
The fact is, it isn’t enough to make 2 or 3 contact attempts. Your leads may not convert after 4 or 5 contacts, either. By this point, it’s easy to become frustrated and assume that your lead is a dud. After all, if your leads were truly ready … (1 comments)

real estate leads: The 3 Ultimate Ways to Get More Testimonials
- 01/30/14 02:37 AM
Testimonials are a powerful business-building tool. In fact, they’re one of the best credibility indicators in your real estate marketing arsenal.
Real estate leads expect you to be biased but they trust that other buyers and sellers will tell it like it is. That’s why testimonials are so powerful; a bunch of great ones on your website can easily sway a lead to pick up the phone and give you a call.
But a steady stream of great testimonials doesn’t “just happen.” Even if you’re providing top-notch service, some clients don’t think to give you testimonials/ don’t realize how important they are … (3 comments)

- 12/10/13 12:43 AM
You need some landscaping done, so you start looking for the right professional for the job.
You meet two potential contractors.
The first greets you wearing jeans and a dirty t-shirt. The brochures he shows you are dog eared. His truck is old and caked in dirt. Although he may be a skilled contractor, he doesn’t look like he cares about details or is a particularly successful businessperson.
The second contractor, by contrast, looks like the picture of success. He’s well groomed and friendly. His truck is tidy and has a professional-looking sign on the door. The brochures, samples and other … (2 comments)

real estate leads: Why It’s Essential to Build Great Rapport with Other Real Estate Agents
- 11/28/13 12:31 AM
Do you care what other real estate agents think of you?
You should.
Your clients and referral sources will often ask other people they meet in the “home industry” for their opinion of you. Your clients will even ask your competition!
So it pays to be respected by your peers.
Now that doesn’t mean you should become so friendly with your competition that you share leads or let them in on your real estate marketing plans. But, you should be cultivating good working relationships with other real estate agents — especially those who work in the same market or with similar profile clients as you.
