Best Practices
Respond to new leads within 5 minutes — response speed is the #1 factor in lead conversion
Include local market data in monthly updates to position yourself as the market expert
Send listing alerts only for properties that match the buyer's stated criteria
Use the home anniversary as a natural touchpoint for past clients
Sign every email from the agent personally, not from the brokerage
Include your phone number prominently — real estate clients prefer to call
Common Mistakes
Waiting hours or days to follow up on a new lead — they've already called 3 other agents
Sending generic market updates without local, relevant data
Blasting every listing to every buyer regardless of their criteria
Never contacting past clients after closing — they're your best referral source
Using too much real estate jargon that confuses first-time buyers

Timing & Performance
Personalization Tips
The Speed-to-Lead Advantage
In real estate, the first agent to respond wins the client. An automated lead follow-up email that fires within minutes of an inquiry keeps you ahead of every agent who's too busy showing houses to check their phone. Pair the automation with a personal follow-up call within the hour, and you'll convert leads at 2-3x the industry average.
Market Updates That Position You as the Expert
Monthly market update emails do more than share data — they position you as the local real estate authority. Homeowners who receive your market updates think of you first when they're ready to sell. Buyers who see your analysis trust your judgment when it's time to make an offer. The key is adding your personal insight to the data, not just forwarding MLS statistics.
Past Clients: Your Most Valuable Marketing Channel
The average homeowner knows 5-7 people who will buy or sell a home in the next year. A past client who remembers you — because you sent a home anniversary email, a market update, or a holiday note — is the most powerful referral source in real estate. One past client touchpoint costs you nothing but generates thousands in future commissions.
