Adding a little color with RPR

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty ONE Group Advocates 484-237-2055 PA License - AB067198

I have heard of RPR and sat in classes before. Listening to the AR Zoom call motivated me to go take another look. I ran a report for my own home, amazed at the depth of information provided and to be honest a little overwhelmed.

I was sitting listening to a webinar class and jotted down two clients to send reports to who are vaguely thinking about selling their homes. One more so than the other. But, i thought this was a good way to provide some information to show my value and to let them know I am using the latest tools and techniques.

I ran a property report, about 28 pages for each of their homes, updated some information on one of them from past listing information I was able to find in my MLS and emailed it to them.

I learnt two hard lessons this year losing two listings each worth about $475-500,000 which is a fair amount of commission. As much as I felt I was staying in contact I realized both customers believed I had dropped the ball. That is on me, so I decided to grab the bull by the horns and use RPR for these two customers. 

Each report gives a value and both reports showed that both potential clients had greatly improved their equity since purchasing the properties. One is moving out of state, downsizing, the other is a young family, a friend of one of my sons who told me two years ago they were probably going to stay put for a while due to the increasing rates and lack of housing available. The latter can now see clearly how his equity has increased and that now might be the time to start looking for a home with the additional money they can put down as a down payment.

I am not sure how this will turn out, but feel it is a tool that I can use to show my value and help my clients/potential clients make a decision on what they are going to do next.

Hi Nick... great way to stay in touch. I send all my clients and prospects a neighborhood sales report for their specific neighborhood every 2-3 months.

Do you do that through RPR or just through your MLS? Nina Hollander, Broker

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 hi Nick... Coldwell Banker provides tons of analytical reports that I can use as I need for monthly, quarterly, annual reporting, etc. In addition, one of the IDX companies I use also provides great statistical information. I like that I can drill down to specific subdivisions.

Lew Corcoran well it was good, because I already had an answer from one of my potential customers thanking me for the report and letting me know he has passed my contact details onto a family member who will be looking for a home shortly.

I love this Nick. After the Zoom presentation by Brad Andersohn it made me want to become an agent so I could use RPR! LOL   What a good tool for your toolbox.  Good for you for using it to prove your value to clients and keep in touch with them.

That sounds like a great idea and use of a new tool in your toolbox, I hope both really appreciate the effort you put in and will definitely reach out to you when they are ready to sell, whenever that might be!

Kathy Streib there is a lot of information in there, it is a matter of finding ways to use it.

Endre Barath, Jr. he is like a firehose, so much information it is hard to take it all in or jot it all down.

Michael Jacobs it is always good to learn about new things, keeps your mind active.

Brian England I have had some good back and forth with one client, so it has been worthwhile.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! Way to use the tools and your skills to take your client relationships to the next level. I would wish you luck, but there is no luck in RPR and you providing your clients with the information and details that they deserve. So proud of this post!great job, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this. :-)

Fingers crossed that the RPR reports do the trick, Nick! I have had great success with them. RE/MAX used to have our own style of these reports but, I was told twice by loyal clients that they weren't the 'quality' that they had been used to seeing from me! I had previously been creating my own and quickly went back to them. Now I am loving the RPR reports. Can't wait to hear how yours went for you!

Thank you again for participating in this month's challenge, Nick!

A shocking 28 page report Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 I ran a report for my own home, amazed at the depth of information provided and to be honest a little overwhelmed.

I also like that your photo and contact information are page one and the estimated value is page 2 and 3.  The rest is data driven and components prospects need to consider on their future purchase.  The best part is email not snail mail.

Good for you and I am sending positive vibes for restoring your value proposition to these particular prospects

Debe Maxwell, CRS and Eileen Burns 954.483.3912 the group I have sent out has so far generated a good conversation with one of the clients, who is not ready, but then mentioned his mother might be ready before him, so we have set up a search for Mom and hopefully she will reach out to me soon.
