What a New Agent Can Do to WOW Potential Clients & Generate Listings

The old saying about how people do business with people they know, like, and trust gets thrown around a lot in the real estate industry. What you don’t hear very often is how to get total strangers to know, like, and trust you; especially enough to become your client.

There are many ways to do that, of course. But of the three, I think it’s safe to say that the trust issue is not only the most important to real estate consumers but more challenging for agents to build.

Being new to the real estate business doesn’t help. Not when your competition is boasting 30 years in the business and endless successful sales.

Building trust isn’t easy, but it is doable. Let’s take a look at what a new agent can do to wow potential clients.

You do have your own real estate website?

Your own business website provides a place for consumers to get to know you and your business. Not taking the free ride on your broker’s website, also lends an air of professionalism.

Did you know, 56% of consumers surveyed by weebly.com stated that they lack trust in businesses that don’t have websites.

Your website, if done right, is full of ways to help people get to know you. The content, also if done right, can help them to like you and trust you.

Keep away from sales spiels with your blog content and do vary between real estate, homeowner, and hyper-local topics.

Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through and show the human side of what can be fairly complex subjects.

The About Me page is the place to laser focus on helping visitors get to know you and your business philosophy.

Have you any positions in your background that transfer well to the real estate industry? Any from the following is worth a mention:

Get to work on social media

Your time is valuable, especially now at the beginning of your real estate business. It’s time to whittle down the social media choices to one.

Facebook is a good place to start. Get your business page set up and start cross-posting your blog posts and other pertinent and interesting information to Facebook.

Whatever you do, don’t fill your feed with marketing and salesy stuff. Here are some ideas about what to post:

This is just a handful of topic ideas.

The key to gaining engagement with your followers, at least in the beginning, is hyper-local content. Avoid political or religious topics. And don’t forget to engage with others on your feed, and theirs.

Overall, just be your super-stunning, personable self.
