- Engage with Past Clients: Tap into the goldmine of past client relationships by maintaining regular communication, remembering key details about their lives, and offering value-added services beyond real estate transactions.
- Implement a Past Client Strategy: Develop a systematic approach to stay connected with past clients through quarterly phone calls, monthly newsletters, birthday and home anniversary messages, and thoughtful pop-by gifts.
- Nurture Business Relationships: Cultivate partnerships with local businesses such as insurance agents, plumbers, and cleaners to gain referrals and expand your network within the community.
- Leverage Social Media: Create a balanced social media strategy that showcases both real estate expertise and community engagement, directing followers to your website for more information.
- Active Involvement in Community Organizations: Demonstrate your commitment to the community by actively participating in local organizations, organizing joint events, and fostering meaningful connections.
- Utilize Cold Calling with Value: Approach cold calling with a focus on providing value rather than aggressive sales pitches, offering free resources like seasonal checklists to initiate conversations and build rapport.
- Door Knocking with Purpose: Combine door knocking with valuable resources like seasonal home maintenance tips to grab homeowners’ attention and initiate conversations about real estate needs.
