Your network is your net worth.

Leverage your already existing relationships, especially if you’re a new property agent, by making a long list of everyone in your phonebook, facebook account, and then setting a goal each day to personally reach out to each of them and let them know you are in the real estate business. Let them know to keep you in mind if they need your property services or know anyone looking for a real estate agent.
 
Your previous clients will also need your attention. Once a deal is closed, make a schedule to routinely call for a follow up. An easy way to do this is to send Happy Birthday greetings. This shows past buyers and sellers you’ve worked with you genuinely care and are a decent person to keep in contact with.

Also trying to get client testimonials from your happy clients as soon as you’ve closed their property deal is also a great time to get personal with them. Don’t miss this opportunity for social proofing your personal brand!

Simplify lead capture form and calls to action (CTA)

Don’t ask for too much information in your lead capture forms. If you have more than three form fields on your lead capture form, cut it down. Keep it simple so you don’t scare away your leads.
 
Make sure your CTA buttons are large and bold across your property website, and add them both above the fold, and test how it looks on mobile. Don’t use vague, lengthy copy in your CTA, also include a clear and succinct value proposition for your future clients.

Simplify your property website’s user experience UX.

Make sure buttons and links to your website’s pages are clearly on the screen and state where they go to. Be simple, concise, and plain in your navigational menu links, and your visitors will have a better website experience. Your website should also be nice to look at, so squashing your pages with many images and text or leaving them blank with just your real estate business name and some links will definitely lead to low engagement with your prospects. Start with your website’s homepage. examine it and ask yourself, is it easy for people to understand the purpose of my site? and understand the business by scrolling down on my homepage in 5 seconds? If not, you need to adjust your real estate website’s setup.

Continuously deliver value to your prospects.

Be strategic and generous with what you share to your leads. People actually appreciate what you have to say when you consistently give them good property insights and position your brand as a trusted real estate advisor. Create blog content on your property website consistently (at least a few times a month), and optimise your posts with the latest popular keywords specific to your local area market (e.g. “2 bedroom homes for sale in Petaling Jaya). You should also have some fun with your content creation by providing local neighborhood guides, profiling local businesses, and offering advice for buying, selling, and homeowning on your real estate website . This means valuable information your niche audience will appreciate and will want more of when done well by you.

Have patience

A major reason real estate professionals have trouble getting leads is a lack of effective lead generation tactics and patience. Real estate agents are usually very busy, not ready to commit, or maybe another negotiator who has better communication or services has gotten their leads. But don’t give up, the most important thing is to keep the communication going, do consistent phone calls and emails and take it a step further by making sure you’re offering value at every stage for your real estate leads.
