In a competitive real estate market, it’s increasingly difficult to not only attract potential vendors but also to ensure your Agency stands out from the crowd.
First impressions, or more importantly, the first point of call contact can be the difference between winning and losing that listing.
Can your Agency afford to lose a $2,000,000 property listing to a competitor?
It’s Sunday afternoon and happily-married couple, Mary and David, are driving home from a Sunday B-B-Q to see a couple of properties for sale in their suburb.
Thinking of selling their home in the next couple of months, they decide to call the agents marketing the properties to get a better idea of what their home may be worth – should they decide to sell.
David calls the agent for the first property on the mobile number advertised. It diverts to a voicemail. He leaves a voice message but then decides to try the office number and gets an answering message. He hangs up.
Mary calls the agent of the second property on the office number advertised. Based on the experience of the first call, expectations are low.
The phone rings and is then discretely diverted to the Office Sales Manager’s mobile who takes Mary’s details and asks some background questions. Ten minutes later, Drew – the agency’s Sales Consultant – calls Mary and sets a time to discuss the property in question.
An hour later David and Mary arrive home. They receive a text message confirming that Drew will call Mary at 5pm on Monday.
David receives a call back from the first agent he called at 2.40pm Monday. Drew then receives an invitation to appraise Mary and David’s home by the agent Mary called the following weekend!
First call impressions count – exceed your prospect’s expectations
The above scenario, unfortunately, is all too common. A real estate agency only gets one chance to make a great impression and satisfy the customer that their services and professionalism can achieve their desired outcome – selling their home more effectively than any other real estate agent.
