In this webinar, real estate coach Bob Corcoran, Peter Grace of SmartZip and Laura Monroe of Inman sat down together to discuss a variety of methods you can use to find, engage and convert potential sellers. The webinar was focused on real estate trends, marketing strategies and technology tools that can help you find local sellers fast and beat out the competition.
Here are the top webinar takeaways:
- Start looking at your business as a corporation and view yourself as the CEO and start making better business decisions.
- Learn your data and track results regularly. Keep spreadsheets on your seller data, how many closings you get from each media source, total commissions, your ROI and your overall business profit and loss.
- Work ON your business. Study your numbers and analytics and work IN your business – engaging with buyers and sellers and nurturing ongoing relationships.
