For agents and brokers, much of their time is spent trying to find new clients. In fact, for most Real estate agents, getting new leads takes up most of their time and money. This however is much different that the top producer REALTORS that lead the industry. For these people, their time is spent selling. This begets the question, what are the top-producing real estate agents doing that is so significantly different than their competition?
If you look at these leading sales agents and contrast their line of attack to real estate with their struggling competition, you can quickly see that these agents rely on systems, technology and teams to beat their competition. This frees the lead REALTOR to spend time screening houses, closing listing presentations and growing sales.
In contrast, the majority of Real estate agents are lone entity offices. Even when working with a broker, these agents are often left to their own devices to attract new customers, promote their services and in the end close sales. Sadly, this lack of resources frequently manifests itself in a real estate agent whose income is barely above the poverty line.
Fortunately, many of the assets that top producer real estate agents rely upon are available to all agents. Tools such as the Redex real estate listing and fsbo lead system provide agents with a daily list of new prospective clients. Additional tools such as mobile applications and even social media websites like Facebook and Twitter can provide a continual stream of new clients. For many real estate agents, even basic web tools like the Redex Agent Sites can help drive leads and speed the sales cycle. By relying on systems and technology, REALTORS can really boost their sales.
These tools are available to all real estate agents, and when comparing the monthly fees to the prospective profit, the justification for the investment in real estate marketing becomes clear. The Redex and LandVoice services are inexpensive and provide a continual and unique source of company. In fact, many of the online services such as Facebook, Twitter and even ActiveRain cost the REALTOR nothing but an investment in time.
The point is simply that as a Real estate broker, a small investment in selling technology and tools that automate and organize lead acquisition can make the definitive difference in the level of success for the real estate agent.
