As a new real estate agent, getting listings can prove to be a bit difficult but don’t sweat it. Real estate agents get listings in different ways and this article is to help you identify how you can get listings in the real estate industry in fast and easy ways.
Below are easy ways to get listings as a new real estate agent
Build a strong network
As a new real estate agent, creating and maintaining relationships is important. You need to start first by connecting with everyone around you. Call your family, friends, acquaintances, everyone on your contact list to slowly build your network. Having a strong network is good for your business because even if they don’t need your services now, you’ll be the first they will contact when they need the services of a real estate agent.
They can also refer their friends and families to you. If you have to go on breakfast and lunch dates or go out to have drinks with people, do it. Meeting in person helps to make the network authentic and builds a stronger level of trust. Make an effort to build relationships and see how you’ll be at the top of their minds when they need a real estate agent.
Referrals
Because your family and friends might not be great at marketing, you can make it super easy for them to refer you to others by creating business cards with your picture or logo on it. Share your business cards with everyone around you. You can also let them know that they will be rewarded with a special gift every time they recommend someone to you. This shows that you’re thoughtful and is a way to say thank you because they have helped you.
Social media
Take advantage of social media to get people to list their properties with you as a new real estate agent. Create a website and add an email pop up on your website to help sellers sign up to list their properties on your website. As a new real estate agent, one simple way to make them interested in signing up is to create free guides such as “How To Sell Your Home”. They can download when they sign up to your newsletters. Make use of Instagram and Facebook to create ads, introduce yourself and what you do to your audience to attract clients.
As a new real estate agent trying to get listings, make sure that you do not over promise or under deliver. Do not forget the essence of building long lasting relationships with clients because this helps you get referrals. Work on providing excellent customer services and remember to be innovative.
