Three Things We Learned From This Episode

Building relationships is important

Having social relationships with clients can help to bolster your professional relationships. Meet for happy hour or small gatherings, rather than huge client appreciation events. By building personal relationships, you’re more likely to keep getting referrals.

You have to stay top-of-mind

While you should be visible to past clients as a friend, make sure they don’t forget you were their agent. From time to time, and on anniversaries of their transactions with you, send them details of the neighborhood they bought in. By reminding them that you are not only their friend, but also their agent, you’ll be the first person they think of when they need to sell their home or buy a new one.

Being easily reachable is crucial

When you’re contacted by a client, respond as soon as you can. Not only is it easy when you have a cellphone with you, it also goes a long way in building a trusting relationship.

 

In real estate today, it’s important to have a bond with your clients. After all, you’re playing a big role in their lives by finding them a home. Build relationships and stay close with those you work with. You’ll not only have a great social circle, but a loyal client base.
