free direct response reports

    The lead-generating capabilities of a real estate website are limited regardless of how expensive it is to build.

    Taking this capability to the next level requires strategic input from you.

    Personalization is the final step, and it’s the one that will become the foundation for your ability to generate leads through your website.

    Read on to learn the fundamentals of this step and create a lead-generating powerhouse of a website.

    1. Testimonials 

    Visitors to your real estate website are searching for their ideal real estate agent. We all know this, but too many agents address this need by posting self-serving, overly-salesy content.

    Nothing will impress these visitors more than hearing what other people think about you and your services. This is why the best real estate agent websites display (above the fold on the home page) a brilliant quote from a former client.

    That one line with quotation marks around it is far more convincing than anything you can say about your business.

    This testimonial, by the way, isn’t meant to replace a testimonial page on your site. In fact, using one on each page of your site is a brilliant idea, along with a dedicated page for them.

    2. Lead magnets

    There’s nothing like a compelling and irresistible lead magnet to get website visitors to provide their contact information. 

    So, what makes a lead magnet compelling and irresistible? 

    • The promise of receiving something of value is what makes a lead magnet irresistible. A free CMA isn’t a lead magnet, nor is a subscription to your newsletter.
    • Instead, consider offering the free direct response report, “Should I Buy Now or Wait For Home Prices to Fall.” It’s available here.
    • It can be easily received through an instant download.  

    Example: Carol has been wanting to sell her home and downsize for a while but is really concerned about being able to find a new home once hers is sold.

    She searches online to learn more on this topic and comes across a blog article written on the subject with a lead magnet offering a free report titled, “What If I sell My Home and Can’t Find One to Buy.”

    Carol gladly fills out the online form with her email in exchange for something she considers quite valuable.

    3. Offer up brilliant content

    From the perfect agent bio to your blog and neighborhood/community pages, quality content is an important aspect of SEO on your lead-generating real estate website.

    Sadly, there are some amazingly skimpy community pages on agent websites. Many don’t have neighborhood descriptions at all.

    Then some are absolutely brilliant. For example, check out the envy-inducing pages at LongandFoster.com. Click on any of the communities to see how no corners were cut in this company’s descriptions.

    Make these three tweaks to your real estate website and watch your lead-generating take off!
