Free Ways of Generating Real Estate Leads
There are those agencies that offer free real estate leads
unlike most agencies you find that require a two dollar or more
sign up fee to start your search.
Try searching for these sites for free leads and have buyers
contacting you everyday. They help you increase your business
prospects and meet qualified real estate leads. Their websites
accommodate an Agent Directory where you can submit your profile
and enlist your home online. In that way many of the prospective
buyers can contact you anytime of the day. Some allow more than
five homes to be listed, all for free.
There are other free ways of increasing your prospective leads
that only takes a good amount of credibility, image and trust.
1. REFERRALS. You can get this most valuable referral if you
have established good relationships among your clients. How do
you do this, here are some tips:
* "Company policy" should be out of your vocabulary. Be flexible
in responding to your client's needs. * Do some initiatives to
know more than their initial needs and try to anticipate. Be
ready with solutions for issues that may arise in the long run.
* Treat your clients well with respect and truthfulness. * Learn
how to get personal information like their family background,
hobbies and work. You might need them in the future in dealing
with them. * Set your image to be professional, credible and
trustworthy and that you are there for them in the longest
possible time, every step of the way. * Fulfill your promises,
especially when it comes to delivery time. * Always maintain the
quality of your work and never neglect your clients' needs
especially after-care sales.
Be sure that you have to ask them directly for referral so that
this system would work to your advantage. Always thank them
through cards and notes for every referral they give or offer
incentives through special gifts, vouchers and discounts.
2. Aside from the REFERRAL system, your network and through
circle of friends, you can generate prospective leads for free.
* Of course, the easiest way to get referrals is through
friends. You do not need a lot of convincing but you need to be
careful and be caring to those they referred. You do not like to
lose a friend. * It is important to know your friends' feedbacks
about your product. Make it a habit to often ask them often
about your business. * Try to ask around your network if there
are companies, agencies looking for real estate agents. * Ask
your friends for their testimonials, they would know better. *
Keep them always informed about your business and updates
through written materials.
