Real estate is all about relationships and if you have recently started in the business, it should be easy to keep up with all of your past clients but as your clients grow and you get busier, it becomes harder to maintain these relationships. Before you get to the point where you can’t keep up with everything, put some great real estate systems in place to stay in touch with your past clients and your sphere of influence so you have time to focus on other things.

We have a great little program to introduce you to, if you have not already heard of it and it has proven to be a great solution that will allow you to stay in touch with your clients.  That real estate program is is eProperty Watch.

Watch the video review here:  Impress Your Clients – Real Estate Program Review

eProperty Watch is a system that allows you to set your clients up to receive a monthly email with information about their individual property. The email will keep them up to date on the homes selling around them and active listings around them and how those properties affect their property value.

When you help a client buy a house, there is an 83% chance they will forget you before they are ready to sell their home. It can be hard to stay in front of your clients without a huge commitment of time and money. eProperty Watch offers an inexpensive solution with a super low time commitment. With an open rate of more than 50%, this solution works because it provides information to your contacts that they want to know. Everyone is interested in the value of their largest investment and this monthly real estate program will give them the information they crave directly from you so that your name stays in front of them. This increases the likelihood that they will call you when they are ready to sell and that they will refer their friends and family to the REALTOR® that they hear from every month and the one that provides them with great information that is useful.

Don’t just stop with your past clients. Spend an afternoon and setup your sphere of influence to receive this email too. A few hours of your time can pay off huge in developing long term relationships, establishing yourself as the expert in your field and ensuring your contact information is readily available to your contacts with frequent touches and valuable information.

Love this idea, but don’t have the time to put it together? Email me and let’s discuss how we can help you implement this system into your business.  

Compared to many systems you have subscriptions to, eProperty Watch is extremely affordable. There are solutions for individual agents and teams that will cost less than your monthly gym membership or one dinner out. Before you sign up for a membership, check to see if your MLS entitles you to a discount. Many MLS organizations across the country have a relationship with eProperty Watch that may make this solution free or half price for you.

Once you establish your membership, set aside a block of time to establish your clients in the system. Every day that you put this off is another month that they may reach out to another agent to sell their home. Don’t lose any more clients for this reason when you don’t have to.

And remember, if you need some help getting this program set up, please reach out to us.  We already know how to setup the system and would be happy to discuss how we can help you.

I am just loving this spring weather.  I also have just listed my home and while I was preparing to put it on the market I was organizing closets, removing things from the home, cleaning and so much more I thought about what we should be doing to cleanup our business drivers, systems, programs and all those things that weigh us down.  Do you throw everything on your desktop with good intentions to move it “later”?

This weeks video is all about how to spring clean your business.  A few tips on how to help you focus on having an organized business so you can focus on more important things.

When you go on listing appointments, it is very likely you will encounter sellers that really don’t know what it takes to sell a home. From the pre-listing phase, the listing term to closing and everything in between, sellers need your guidance. Face it, you are selling your service as an agent and most sellers need way more than just someone to handle the paperwork for them.  They need someone to educate them on the process and tell them what to do every step of the way. If you want to really provide exceptional service to your clients, build them a step by step guide to selling their home that gives them direction on how to navigate each step of the process.

Watch my YouTube Video:

Pre-Listing Packages | First Impressions Mean Everything!  

If you want to put a guide together for your sellers, start at the very beginning with the pre-listing phase and detail every single thing your seller needs to do by creating checklists that cover each phase of the process. The effort you put into this will pay off for you as well since the homes you list will be prepared for the market and your sellers will better understand the process. If you want to put together a guide for your sellers, here are the different phases you should cover.

• Cleaning
• Decluttering
• Curb Appeal
• Staging
• Documents Needed
• Showing Preparations
• Moving Instructions
• Closing Preparations
• Prepare Your Home for Its New Owner

These lists may not seem like a lot but the more detailed you make them, the better prepared your sellers will be and the more they will love you. Not only will they be prepared, you will receive fewer questions about what to do next.

How detailed should you be? Extremely! While so many of these items may seem obvious to you, for first time sellers and even many of those that have sold a home before, this is not common knowledge. Think about the last time you put together a piece of furniture and the directions that you had to go along with it. If you had carefully detailed instructions, it made the job easy. If the instructions weren’t detailed enough, you likely felt confused and unsure of what to do. Try to make this process as easy as it can be and extra detail will do just that.

At the end of every day when you sit down to think about what you accomplished (and what you may need to move to the next day’s to do list), do you wonder if you will ever get it all done? For most of us, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all that we would like to and so many tasks get pushed to the back burner as we put out fires for our next closing, show houses from the latest sign call or put together a CMA for our next listing appointment. Do you think you will wake up one day and magically have more time to accomplish everything on your growing to do list or do you need to identify the tasks that you can delegate to someone else?

This is where Kim Hughes and Company can help. Many people wonder how exactly you might best utilize a real estate virtual assistant company. With Kim Hughes and Company, the options are really almost endless. Just one of the many tasks we can help with is updating or creating your listing or pre-listing presentation or your buyer presentation. These can be created in a printed or digital format or both. You may choose to have a pre-listing presentation that you email to potential sellers after your initial contact as well as a listing presentation that you share when you meet with them in person. How do you know what’s best for you and what to include in your presentations. We will pull from our experience, your input and ask specific questions designed to give us the information that will help your presentation stand out in your market.

Let’s Update Your Listing and Buyer Presentation

The same goes for a buyer presentation or a welcome packet for new buyer leads. While your input is necessary if you want truly customized presentations that reflect your individuality, we will handle 90-95% of the work so all you have to do is answer questions and review the drafts we provide. Then we will make final revisions and finalize the presentations in the format you wish. While there are other sources you can purchase some of these items from, they won’t be customized and would likely require you to customize the items yourself if it is even possible. Is that really helpful if you don’t have the time to work on your presentation to start with? Like so many things in life, you get what you pay for and purchasing a generic presentation won’t give you the results you are looking for and will require additional time from you to customize the presentation to meet your needs while adding one more item to your to do list.

Utilize Kim Hughes and Company to deliver customized products that will help you reach your goals without creating more work for you so you can begin to mark items off your to do list instead of just adding to it.

Is there something else you have on your to do list? Let us know and chances are we can help you with it.

Do you get that warm fuzzy feeling when you have an executed contract in hand and ready to go into the closing phase? Or, do you get a little excited then panic because you are now responsible for managing the contract?

Let me share a little story with you on how we helped an agent become the top agent in his market and in his company by managing the transaction.

We had an agent come to us about 7 years ago he had a small team of 3 agents.  They struggled to close their contracts, had no system in place, did not have any organization whatsoever and were barley closing 1 transaction a month.  He calls Kim Hughes & Company and we discuss the issues they were having and offered a solution.  Within 48 hours we were managing 3 contracts that were already pending.  We created an

• Action Plan for his team
• Created a system along with a checklist for his business
• Organized his vendors
• Created a drip campaign and by bringing us into his business he did not have train us because we already knew what we needed to know to be in compliance with his brokerage, franchise and state.

Since then we have been the transaction coordinator for the team.  We took him from barely closing 1 per month to closing 3-5 per week.

By taking the pressure off the team we were able to give this agent and his team the confidence to go out and do what they loved.  They were excited again about real estate.

3  Tips to Rock Your Real Estate Transactions

Most real estate agents do not enjoy the transaction phase of a contract because this is detailed, structured, deadlines, etc not to mention you have to manage all the parties involved. That is no fun, right? You want to get out there and do what you do best and that is helping your client find that forever home or to help your seller get their home sold quickly and for the most the market will bear, right?

Well, if you do not enjoy, have the time or the patience to make sure the most important piece to working with your sellers and buyers is not being handled to perfection then you need to consider bringing a transaction coordinator onto your team.

Yes, you need help and you need to know that you can find that right person who will represent you in the most professional manner, hold your clients hand, make sure all parties are doing their part, everyone is communicating so everyone gets to the closing table as smoothly as possible.

After all, this is the phase of a contract where you can really shine with your client, the other agent, the lender, the title company, etc. This is where you get that raving review or testimonial.  You want your clients to know you have your pulse on the transaction and by having the best of the best you trust your transaction coordinator.  After all we make you look good and allow you the freedom to be becomes the best for your clients.

If you are that agent who is ready to take their business to a level of 200% customer satisfaction then you need to schedule a complimentary call with Kim Hughes & Company today. We will explain the process, listen to what you need and then come together with a solid strategy and system to work with you and your team as the transaction coordinator for you and your clients.

So, not ready to bring us on? We get it and the goal is that you get so busy that you reach out to us when the time is right, but in the meantime let me give you 3 tips on making sure you are giving your clients 200% in customer satisfaction.

Tip 1: Create an email that goes out to all parties with the crucial dates so everyone knows the deadlines, etc.

Tip 2: Create a campaign for your buyer and seller that drips out weekly to them with tips on what they should be doing to prepare for the move.

Tip 3: Stay in contact with your client. Make sure to stay a step ahead of them with answers to questions they do not even know to ask. Make that call weekly to let them know you are there for them. Be consistent in the time you allow to call them. What day of the week and will it be morning or evening? Make sure to have all the up-to-date details ready to discuss with them.

And, here is another tip. Once you close the property make sure to send all parties a thank you card. Especially your title company.

What is the budget for a closing gift? Make sure to send your client a thank you and a small token of your appreciation.

Then ask for the review/testimonial.

If all of this is overwhelming for you click on the button below and let’s schedule a call so I can talk to you about how we can help you manage your transactions.
