Real Estate Leads

Can you use more Real Estate Leads?  Need some cost effective lead generating ideas?  Need more ways to convert the prospects and leads you have to paying customers?

If so, I have some good ideas for you.

The success of your career is directly influenced by the number of contacts you make; daily, weekly, monthly... annually. 

However, some agents never grasp the importance of this until they take inventory one day and realize that they've only connected with several hundred real estate leads in a whole year, verses agents who communicate with that many prospects weekly, week in and week out.

So, it should come as no real surprise that agents who market to several hundred prospects a week generate more business than those who interact with just
a few hundred a year. 

Some Affordable Real Estate Lead Generation Articles and Ideas
Below are some proven Lead Generation ideas that don't cost a lot, are easy to implement and very effective in generating a stream of warm, responsive leads.

Real Estate Leads via Farming Expired Listings - Tip #1
Expired Listings are some of the easiest listings to get with a good Farming Expired Listings System.  I farmed expired listings and fell in love with the strategy, and when I was at my peak I averaged 2 expired listings a week.  I tried cold calling to support the letters for a while, but soon dropped it because it didn't seem to increase my listing success. You can click here to read more about the expired listing system I used!

Real Estate Leads via Real Estate Web Site Content - Tip #2
In a word, real estate web site content fuels the Internet.  Essentially, good content is rewarded by search engines that rank your site, and the higher your rankings the more traffic your site will generate.  However, many agents overlook this free advertising strategy because they don't have the time to write a lot of content themselves, even when they have the willingness and talent to do it. Click here to read more about the real estate web site content I recommend.  .

Real Estate Leads via Expired Listing Letters - Tip #3
Listings expire for all sorts of reasons, and a way to get a new listing on an expired is through expired listing letters.  Mailing expired listing letters can be one of the best, most focused, results oriented real estate marketing approaches to generating real estate prospects. It's an easy concept, and even easier to do. These are the Expired Listing Letters I used.

Real Estate Leads via Newsletters - Tip #4 
Using real estate newsletters to generate leads has been effective for some, but a flop for others.  However, the only way to know if it'll be a success for you is to try it. Fortunately, starting a newsletter is easier than some agents make it out to be.  Simple and informative will suffice every time.

Real Estate Leads via Automated Telephone Systems -Tip#5
Cold calling is a thing of the past, especially now with the DNC rule.  Consequently, it's becoming harder and harder to contact leads using traditional phone call prospecting. Today, automated telephone systems can field inquiry calls from interested parties responding to a printed ad you placed which indicates a hot line number.

Some of these systems also feature options like: voice mails where callers can leave a message for you to get back to them with; document fax-back where information like floor plans or brochures can be faxed to the caller directly; or direct call transfers where a call can be routed to your direct line or mobile phone.

An addition to this tool is an ad-tracking system that monitors which ad placement a caller is responding to. This is helpful because it shows you how effective each placement is in terms of reaching and generating inquiries to your business. That way, you can channel your resources to the more effective ads.

Real Estate Leads via Real Estate Agent Websites - Tip #6
Whether you're a large agency or working independently, a website is arguably as important as your business card. Reportedly, upwards of 80% of American households access the Internet regularly.  Consequently, having an online presence will help bring in leads.  Make sure your website offers important and useful information.
