Client Care Yields Real Estate Leads
By admin | January 26, 2007
Starting a real estate sales practice could be quite a risky business. Commonly, one would go days without closing a sale, receiving a phone call, and all the time the expenses and bills keep coming. However, success at real estate generally results out of maintaining fundamentals, such as: knowing all the information about your area or property, getting sales leads, and developing referrals.
One of the key aspects of real estate sales is the sales referral. Most prospective property buyers looking for a new home, office or any real estate, usually approach family, friends, and colleagues to ask for recommendations for a good broker. Also, most property owners or homeowners selling their real estate will go to the same network to ask for brokers who can help them sell a property. Unlike blockbuster lawyers or specialist doctors, there is no ready information available that calls out the skill and experience of a particular broker. So traditionally, referrals are done person-to-person and by word of mouth.
At first glance, it would seem like an unreliable way to build a business. But, if a broker knows his business and his properties well, all it would take is a few successful real estate sales to “referred” customers, and his sales would start to pick up momentum. Referrals to brokers are more significant because they could give direct contact to someone seriously considering buying a property. This gives a real estate practitioner access to his main target market, whereas regular advertisements through the media would have a very wide audience, but not the actual people wanting to buy homes or properties. In terms of marketing, a referral is like a slam-dunk promotional lead.
It is good that real estate referrals are such a “direct-to-market” lead. Because there is another aspect to the business: Property acquisitions are almost always the one most expensive purchase that a family would make. So, although referrals give you persons interested in buying a home or property, buying decisions are not always quick or a sure thing. The sheer cost, location, design, need for repairs or renovations, ease of mobility or transport, and a multitude of other decisions are considered before a buyer commits to a house.
But then, after all this consideration, when a broker manages to deliver a satisfactory sale to a buyer, then the broker will be awarded with a wider and perhaps more enthusiastic referral to other potential homebuyers. This would widen your referral network, and expand your file of potential contacts for referrals.
The high price of your product also means that even if only a fraction of your referrals translate to actual sales, the income and commission from these sales are already considerable. Maturing in the business will teach a broker the ways of cultivating and screening referrals to further improve sales and growth.
Therefore, we should understand what most successful realtors and brokers know — that Real Estate is a business of relationship. Regardless of the current external or economic conditions, the most adaptable method of generating ready revenue is through building a real estate business by developing relationships to cultivate referrals.
Several strategies or techniques can be used to build a strong referral-based sales business. But when you look closely, all these require that you stay in touch with your network regularly, preferably once a month.
It would be most helpful to plan out different methods of maintaining contact with your network on a monthly basis. The different ways of keeping in touch are: personal visits, telephone calls, handwritten notes or short letters, periodic newsletters, news and updates through email, client thank-you cocktails or parties, sending postcards, sending birthday/special greeting cards, organizing house-warming events, promos or contests.
The best practice is to try combinations of these contacting techniques, tailor-fit to your personality and the background of the particular contact.
As well as staying in touch, you need to be mindful of the following aspects of your referral business:
-Organizing contact files by priority
-Creating and maintaining a network management system
-Studying the best way of asking for referrals
-Not using standard all-purpose solutions
-Setting your goals and planning a budget
-Memorize figures and numbers
-Organize your time
-Hire an assistant
-Engage a business coach
The real estate business is also a customer care business: take care of all your referrals and grow your real estate business by getting more real estate leads.

Best Wealth Building Tool Real Estate Leads through Promotion Handouts
By admin | January 25, 2007
Some of the World’s richest people have made their fortunes in real estate business. Like any other investments, real estate has its own risk to deal with. Through such investment, you could enjoy the glamorous inflation of your capital or join those who have failed and left bankrupt. Strategies, in any business, are important to somehow, if not, assure you a Real Estate Lead. Using promotion handouts could possibly bring you to such success more of what you have expected.
The Promotion handout should have the information of benefits that may be received, as well as, the informative details of the property being sold. This strategy involves human contact. While distributing the handouts, at some point you have captured a minute of your consumer that catches his/her attention. For a successful career in Real Estate using Promotion Handouts, you have to have good public relations, a positive attitude, and of course your handouts should be appealing not only to the elite sector of our society but also to the masses as well.
The following information should be visible on your Promotion Handouts
1. Specify what kind of property you’re selling. Examples are condominiums, house & lot, lease options, etc.
2. Create a catchy title. Like, for example, if it’s a house & lot for sale: “A house suited for a Princes” or “A dream house at a low price”, words to that effect. Somehow, consumers would be enthused to read more of the details of the handout. It’s a first move in catching his/her attention.
3. The handout should have a picture of what is being sold. In order for consumers to be interested in buying the property, they should have an idea of how it looks.
4. A location map should also be illustrated so as to have a clear view of its whereabouts. Nearby commercial buildings and establishments like malls, market, grocery store, restaurants, schools, etc., should be included to convince the consumers that their needs will be of reach.
5. The amount of the property should also be indicated as well as its payment conditions.
Payments should be on installment set up if possible, because this is more appealing to all. Considering the classes of the society, “A” being the highest and “D” being the lowest, we have to use the middle class as our basis of most number of consumers. And if so, installment procedures would attract many of them to buy your property.
Interest rates could be applied but not to the extent of over profiting. You have to assess first your money spent on promotions and advertisement after which adding them to the total amount of the property. Then decide on how much interest rate you would add, depending on how long the installment will last. You should not apply high rates of interest but not to the extent of sacrificing your profit.
6. The color of the paper being used should not be too shocking or too dull. Create some style for it to look elegant at the same time appealing to one’s eyes. In this way, consumers will be impressed on your marketing style and as we all know first impressions last.
When giving away the handouts, your agent should be in proper attire and have an appealing mood for he or she speaks of what he or she’s representing. He or she must have full contact with the customer and speaks with her/him with eye contact. As they say, “eyes speak of you”. So through your agent’s eyes, customers would already be somehow interested on going through the details of the property.

"Real Estate: Follow up on Leads via Radio Transmitter"
By admin | January 24, 2007
Selling real estate is quite difficult to master. It is one of the most
competitive and uncertain fields in business where there are no specific
guarantees.
It takes a certain amount of ability, grit and determination for the men and
women of this field to flourish. Still, real estate has produced many of
the country’s popular millionaires, like Donald Trump from the hit TV series
“The Apprentice”. This is the reason why there are still a lot out there
who are struggling to survive in this field.
Here are some qualities that a real estate agent must possess:
1. Knowledge of the market.
Real estate agents and developers, like any other people in business, should
have a mastery of the industry.
You should know everything that there is to know about your chosen
profession. There are no guarantees of a monthly paycheck in selling real
estate so you have to know how to hit a jackpot.
Knowing the in’s and out’s of the business would more or less prepare you
for the hard work ahead.
2. A sincere interest in people.
Here, you do not just deal with lands or properties. You should have an
ample amount of people skills for you to have a better grasp of your
customer’s needs and put everything to their satisfaction.
You should also care enough for the people that you service so that you can
give them exactly what they want, and their appreciation should be a great
reward for you, not to mention the financial gains that you can obtain for
yourself.
3. A willingness to work hard.
Only the toughest survive in the field of real estate. Working as hard as
you can in this field, just like in any other business, is the key to
success.
‘Using a Radio Transmitter to Follow up on Leads’
As a real estate agent, who would not want to gain more hot leads, more
listings, more customers and bigger commissions? You would be amiss not to
want these things.
One of the tools that you can use as a real estate agent to climb to the top
is by using a radio transmitter.
Here is a list of how you can use it to your advantage:
You can broadcast a personalized, real time, recorded message. Radio
transmitters would help you reach a wider spectrum of clients by
broadcasting your messages to prospects.
There are new transmitters available in the market that let you broadcast
“live”, or continue with a recorded message using a digital chip.
This is perfect for ‘Open Houses’. Once you see a potential client or a
prospective buyer listening in to your recorded message, you can cut in and
personally address the customer.
This way, you and your prospect would have an immediate connection and it
just might lead you to a sale.
You can also use the radio transmitter as a public address system for
special community events.
There are even radio transmitter models which let you “imitate” celebrity
voices to grab the listener’s attention. These models are surprisingly
inexpensive so it would not be a waste to purchase them.
You can use two transmitters at the same time. Just set them to two
different frequencies at the same listing so that you can kill two birds
with one stone.
Real estate agents earn money by getting listings. You can use your radio
transmitter to book appointments with home sellers.
Think up marketing strategies that will appeal both to home sellers and home
buyers to increase your listings. Develop special offers and freebies for
home owners and leave your contact information so that you can convince
people to get ahold of you regarding the selling or listing of their home.
Remember that word of mouth is a great advertisement for you so make sure
that the entire population in your area knows about your business and you
just might strike up some more.
You may also sell your recorded advertisements to paying advertisers who
can broadcast your message into their own private “network”.
More importantly, you can set up the radio transmitters in your own home.
Record a message that features the offers that you have.
You might be surprised when a seemingly unknown neighbor suddenly shows up
on your doorstep, wanting to talk about the listing of their home or someone
else’s home that they know about.
Remember that the more you use these radio transmitters, the more sales,
listings, leads and prospective clients you will get.

Press Release Leads to Business
By admin | January 24, 2007
A successful real estate press release must be able to reflect a particular real estate company’s or real estate agent’s approach to real estate as well as reflect whether the company or agent is flashy, is concerned primarily with business or is downright friendly.
A press release does not in any way work like magic. It is actually a serious campaign which is created in order to bring a desired and specific outcome. In the real estate world, that is leads, and more importantly sales. Actual purchase of a house and property is the best method to gauge how successful or not successful a particular or a series of press releases is.
Real estate companies put out a press release in varying forms and in varying occasions. Press releases should paint a good image of the company. Such is the case of the company Cendant wherein their October 2005 press release touted that the system they are using was able to gather valid leads of up to two hundred thousand which they were able to amply distribute to their real estate agents.
They also explained the process of how they came up with such numbers and how competitive is the system they are using, thus making them able to keep up with the market.
Taking advantage of the magic of press release takes a lot of science. It is important to consider that when one is utilizing a Press Release Program, there really is no guarantee of anything miraculous happening. What a press release does is inform the public of what you as a real estate company or a real estate agent is doing and the various ways, means and forms that you are able to achieve your company’s objectives.
Usually, press releases are means to get a message across as to any internal updates that a real estate company is undergoing or a real estate program, software, or offer that could benefit both the company or individual generating the press release as well as the reader or audience who will be reading it.
For example, a recent press release by a particular real estate company in Michigan has presented the new, advanced and highly efficient lockbox system currently being used by their real estate associates. The benefits their associates got from using the system was thoroughly explained as well as the benefits that their clients would have when they avail of their service. This was clearly outlined. What was clearly described as well was how efficient their system was in ensuring that only quality service is delivered.
A press release therefore should generate valid and relevant leads. Though the fact of the matter is that, simply getting your name and business out there does not automatically convert to business, it is therefore important that a press release offer both prospective buyers and sellers something free. An offer that your potential clients will probably not get anywhere else. Putting this out will more likely increase your chance of being contacted, than offering something that people could get someplace else just as easily.
The best and greatest thing to offer and the chances of which this offer will be accepted are usually any written materials such as brochures, pamphlets, etc. Utilizing such materials is also an efficient way of putting your company and your skills out there. Use this avenue wisely, but do not abuse it either.
This should be detailed in the press release, but it is essential that you also take stock on the freebies you give out and the record of success which freebie generated more and which generated less response.
It is also important that the reason of why you are putting up free items or offers be thoroughly explained or at least be understandable to your prospective clients. Honesty and integrity is the best impression you could leave anyone. It beats any and all forms of press release. Make it clear and be sincere as well that the freebies you are handing out are not intended to immediately close a deal. It is so that you could acquire as much valid and relevant leads as you can which will be able to contact you at the soonest possible time

Tips for Real Estate Lead Generators
By admin | January 24, 2007
There is no such word as difficult if you are a real estate lead generator and you would like to be successful. But that does not mean that you need to be very good. All you need to do is learn the different attributes that you need to possess.
1. Make a list of your contacts and target contacts. Be keen in targeting your contact. You should learn how to network and make friends. Friends and the friends of your friends can be your future clients. Do not forget to get their contact information for your future reference.
2. The success of your career will depend on your character. To be able to communicate with your customers effectively, you will need to have a personality that will attract your customers. You should build your own identity since you are not the only lead generator in the world. Your individuality will make the difference and will help you widen your network.
3. Master the art of prospecting. As the cliché goes, “Practice makes perfect.” Do not waste any time and spend every hour in prospecting your clients. Mastering your field will generate a wider market and better sales.
4. Once you have gathered your target clients, do not just stop there. Put yourself in action. Strategize and think of ways on how you can do sales with them. There are a lot of options for you to advertise. You may do contact like meeting with them personally. You can use the Internet by putting on your own website.

6. Always assess yourself. Make a daily evaluation of your activities. This will help you in assessing which strategies were effective or not. If one strategy was not effective, then you will be able to think of other strategies that will be more effective for you.
7. When something did not go well, do not lose hope. If a prospect customer did not find you effective and turned you down, then go to your next target. Do not be disheartened easily since that is really part of the job. One strategy may not be effective to one but may be convincing to another. Trial and error is just a part of the game!

Telemarketing Your Way to Great Leads
By admin | January 23, 2007
Generating leads for your real estate business takes on different forms. Some do door-to-door, others building a network of contacts and referrals. But the most extensive method by far is telemarketing.
You may already be familiar with the concept of telemarketing, the most common form of which is making phone calls inquiring whether the person is interested in buying and/or selling property. Since many calls can be made within a short amount of time, it is a choice preferred more by those who want to reach hundreds to thousands of prospects in a given period.
Cold calls (the kind of telemarketing described above), however, are gaining unpopularity both for the prospect and the marketer. Prospects complain about being called at inconvenient times of the day, or simply cannot be bothered by a call they don’t want to receive. The government has responded to these complaints by enforcing the DNC (Do Not Call) Rule which compiles a list of people who’ve expressed they do not want telemarketers to call them. Telemarketers who violate this rule are subject to heavy fines and penalties.
However, there are other ways to telemarket successfully if proper steps are taken. More and more, cold calling is being replaced by response marketing. This is an integrated approach of ad placement and telemarketing.
What one does is place an ad in a magazine or newspaper indicating a phone number (usually toll-free) that readers may call for concerns about real estate. Callers may get to talk to a live agent or listen to a pre-recorded message. Live agents can answer the caller’s question and may eventually turn that call into a solid deal.
Some callers, however, prefer not to talk to a live telemarketer on the first call. They may not want to feel pressured into doing something they’re just considering for now. When this is the situation, a pre-recorded message works better. The caller can listen to a brief message stating how you can help them and even choose to have information like brochures faxed to them – all done automatically.
Telemarketing systems of this kind can identify the phone number of the caller, which becomes very useful for you when you start following up the calls. Another advantage of this kind of telemarketing is that if the caller has initiated the contact, you are allowed to call back that person without violating DNC rules in your state for a given period (check your local DNC rules for these).
No matter what kind of telemarketing method you choose to generate leads, always practice courteousness and handle all calls with both enthusiasm and respect. That new lead just might be your next big deal.

Hand ‘Em Out: Real Estate Flyers
By admin | January 23, 2007
Every regular consumer has had an experience of walking around a commercial establishment. Afterwards they find themselves furnished with a flyer or brochure of some product or service. More recently, real estate flyers have gone from a rare few to becoming the huge majority of flyers being handed out in these commercial establishments. It may be safe for you to deduce, as a real estate agent, that this trend is a result of an inherent efficacy of the system.
And this isn’t too far the target either. Indeed, real estate promotional materials serve a huge purpose on-site, in home shows, and even in commercial establishments frequented by potential buyers. At the end of the day, these flyers have become handy and powerful marketing tools for real estate agents like you. Just how and why will be further clarified in this article.
Let’s first take a look at promotional flyers being distributed to the general public in places frequented by huge volumes of people. Typically you hand out your flyers to reputable looking people who are most likely to have the means and capacity to purchase a piece of real estate. While it may seem to the untrained eye that at that very level you are already discriminating against others who may potentially buy real estate but weren’t given flyers, never remove the inherent characteristic of these promotional handouts: they are both compact and easily transferable.
What does this mean? While your regular promenade-walker or mall afficionado may not be interested in buying real estate enough to visit an agent and browse through catalogues, a real estate promotional flyer allows him or her to bring this brochure home and ponder over it for a time. A brochure featuring the best assets of the home being advertised, as well as sufficient information as to where to contact an agent may in fact be enough to convince a non-buyer to consider buying a piece of real estate. The power of suggestion here is strong, and because of the fact that this is a piece of marketing platform that the consumer can bring home, they are given more time to take into consideration the choice they can make.
Moreover, these promotional handouts are easily transferable between persons. One impressed recipient of the handout who is not interested in buying real estate may likely give the promotional handout to a friend who is. The best thing here is this: you are using the power of word and mouth with the reliability of an information sheet that allows the person referring you to give the new lead complete information about how to get in touch with you. This translates to more solid leads.
On location, a promotional handout also allows for your prospective buyers to browse over the features of the house and its excellent qualities while they tour the facility. This means that they are given more time to take into consideration these winning qualities of the real estate even long after you’ve long mentioned them. Moreover, they can bring home the said handout and, with the help of pictures that truly communicate the property’s value, remind and reinforce the good impressions they may have gotten when they visited the property.
In home shows, promotional materials allow for your prospective clients to compare your offers to that of the next real estate agents. In these home shows, these clients are willing to make on-the-spot decisions about whom to leave their calling cards with, and a well created brochure just might win them over. After all, if your brochure contains a very convincing description of the property you are selling, and contains pictures that truly showcase the finer qualities of the property, you are definitely going to find those leads you want.
It is important to remember that the efficacy of these promotional handouts lie in how well you put the property into paper,or how well you market the property. This means that layout, pictures, and other inherent characteristics of the property should be showcased prominently in these handouts. Given that these are already very effective in suggesting the acquisition of real estate, the best of all is that creating these brochures is relatively cheap in comparison to other methods of advertisement. Moreover, you can include in these brochures sufficient information about sales agent to whom these prospective clients can get in touch with.

Newspaper ads reads Poor Leads
By admin | January 22, 2007
Newspaper ads are convenient sources of real estate leads. The top reason why real estate agents put out advertisements by the hundreds and thousands of dollars in newspaper ads is this: they need to acquire listings. The simple fact of the matter is, most home sellers look at these newspaper ads. Via this route, they then ponder and get to decide who or which is the real estate agent and company that does a great job of marketing homes.
Newspaper real estate ads create\ an impression to home sellers that these real estate companies will just as similarly do a great job in selling their houses. Usually, it is the bigger companies in real estate that also puts up the big newspaper ads.
These large real estate companies also have a similarly big inventory of houses which they put out in wide two-page ads in newspapers. Chances are, the house that you are selling will be included in this large spread.
Home sellers require that the houses they are putting up for purchase will have the most exposure and the ads in newspapers put up by such companies seem to fill this real estate need.
However, the risk in these types of ads are that the real estate company may have an additional of three hundred or four hundred more of these houses in their roster. It all depends on luck and timing as to the number of times the house you are putting up for purchase will be seen.
Another reason for putting up real estate ads in newspapers is this: it is done in order to gain leads. There are numerous buyers who look at these newspaper ads. And the number of readers and eyes that look on these ads are unlimited. Or so it seems, because according to a survey profile of Home Buyers as well as Home Sellers, only a measly five percent of people who look for homes in newspaper ads actually make a purchase.
In effect, a total of ninety-five percent up to ninety-eight percent of newspaper readers do actually just that, they read and neglect or simply do not purchase real estate despite the number of ads put out by real estate companies.
This is a stark difference to the whooping fifty-three percent of buyers who actually start their search on newspapers and magazines.
But the most important reason why newspaper ads are so much used for snagging those real estate leads is because agents use this avenue as an effective means for self-promotion.
The idea is that, the more their names are exposed and the more it gets to be familiar to readers, it is therefore highly likely that home sellers will come and get them when they are thinking of putting up their homes for selling. This is a very subtle yet effective form of branding.
Fortunately or unfortunately, though real estate agents know the value or the invaluable contribution that newspaper ads provide, they hardly inform home sellers of this fact. It has also been proven that the real estate section of newspapers is its’ least read part.
Some home magazines go to the extent of touting that advertising in them would, more often than not, generate sales. Though it seems they offer the best value compared to the rates of ads in newspapers, the survey shows that readers actually do little buying inspite of the highly glossy pictures the home magazines provide. This even if in addition to the millions of people they call their readers, and the coast to coast reach of their magazine, the numbers show that their readers just read, and a very small percentage of them actually buy. But it is also a fact that the two percent who actually buy may leave a bit of room for hope for the home seller, so what the heck.
In short, home sellers have been conditioned that advertising real estate in newspapers works, this even if real estate agents have surveys that prove otherwise. This is because the benefits real estate agents get are just as money-worthy, and these are in the form of leads. And in the world of real estate, leads are investments that could be worth a lot; if not now, it will be in the coming weeks, months or years ahead.

7 Reasons Why Newsletters Get Good Real Estate Leads
By admin | January 22, 2007
Newsletters are publications issued by a specific real estate firm or real estate association geared towards a specific readership population, of a certain State, buyer preference or for the general real estate consumer. Such publications contain various information about the industry and its related fields, as well as about new products and services that the specific firm or association is promoting. Here are the top seven reasons why you should use the real estate newsletter to find good real estate leads.
1. Free Information
Newsletters are free. For that reason alone, active real estate buyers and investors should be on the mailing list of major real estate firms and associations. Most newsletters will definitely have sections on “free tips” in the intent of firms to show that they have a genuine concern to help consumers and in a way, demonstrate their company’s expertise in the field. Such free articles are also a way to attract readers, and get them hooked to read on to the sales pitches, which is the primary intent of issuing the newsletter. Nevertheless, anything that is free and informative at the same time should always be the searcher’s first stop.
2. Credibility
In general, newsletters have more credibility than the usual ads. The real estate firms that publish newsletters use it as a venue to establish their company’s leadership and authority in the profession. Thus, they most likely will publish reliable, well-researched and relevant market information, geared towards the benefit of the consumer, in order to maintain their credibility. Get historical real estate market trends, sound predictions and reliable leads through information in the newsletters.
3. In-depth Information
Real estate newsletter articles provide more in-depth information than real estate ads. The intent of real estate newsletters is to have a venue to better educate consumers about real estate details that are not covered in advertisements like construction quality assessment, safety, after move-in support, etc. Having such information will allow you to look into more details about the property that you intend to buy.
4. Financial Information
Aside from real estate leads, newsletters also provide other information that are related to the industry. Financial information such as mortgage rates, mortgage calculators and bank or lending institutions contact information are among the additional information that you can get from a newsletter. Occasionally, real estate newsletters will publish full-length articles on financial information such as “How To Compute Amortization” or “The Benefits of Refinancing.” Watch out for those articles and make sure to clip them for future use, unless you are into the habit of compiling the newsletter itself.
5. Locations
Aside from financial information, real estate newsletters also feature full-length articles and facts on hottest real estate locations as well as uncharted lands that have yet to join the boom. Depending on the profile of the property you intend to buy, such information will be beneficial for your search.
6. Seminars and Viewings
Information on real estate seminars and property viewings are also in newsletters. As a buyer, this is your opportunity to have first-hand experience on the property or the real estate firm without any financial commitment from your end. Most seminars and viewings are free, transportation and meals included and at times, discounts are handed out for the select who signed up. Now that’s one opportunity you should not pass up!
7. Testimonials
Testimonials are an essential part of real estate newsletters. Use such actual consumer experience to understand the capabilities and extent of service of the real estate firm. If, based on the published first-hand experience by actual customers, their profile or the rundown of their properties fit the portfolio of service you are looking for, then the company should be able to support you and give you good leads.
Modern day newsletters are already issued electronically; the e-newsletter, sent via e-mail or downloaded from the publication’s website, but offers the same useful real estate information without the hassle of piling paper. Whatever form you prefer, real estate newsletters are definitely promotional materials, but are of the informative kind. As a consumer, you should take advantage of all the available information, which can help you in the search for real estate leads.
