 It’s easy to think that all real estate leads are the same. Lead generation is a huge part of your day-to-day job as a real estate agent – lead generation without lead nurturing is a goldmine of untapped potential.  

Lead nurturing is “the process of developing relationships with buyers at every stage of the sales funnel, and through every step of the buyer's journey. It focuses marketing and communication efforts on listening to the needs of prospects, and providing the information and answers they need.” (Marketo)

This means that understanding who your real estate leads are and what they need is crucial to being able to close them.

Mar 29, 2019 4:37:00 AM

We know, appearance isn’t everything. But similar to your online presence, your dress code as a real estate agent says volumes about you before you ever introduce yourself. You project a lot about yourself and your professional reputation in the way you dress.

Real Estate Express explains further, saying that “a NAR article on “The Importance of Image and Appearance” quotes three Realtor® clients regarding whether having purple hair and tattoos or driving an ugly car would influence their decision to use the agent. One client replied that she would have run away when meeting an agent with purple hair at an open house. Another was impressed because the agent drove the same quality car as the client. Finally, the last one stated clearly that he believed in first impressions. It concluded with, “You should be concerned about how your clients perceive you.” "
