In the digital age, real estate may seem to be moving away from personal relationships and towards technology, data, and artificial intelligence. However, the most successful real estate agents understand that real estate is still ultimately about relationships.
Closed deals happen through relationships, and building strong relationships with clients is the key to success in this field.
Even with all the technological advancements, the most important tool for real estate agents is still the face-to-face meeting. By meeting with clients in person, agents have the opportunity to showcase their expertise, build rapport, and establish credibility.
In-person meetings also allow agents to offer their services as expert advisors and to provide access to homes in the local area, which cannot be replicated through online photos and videos.
At Real Geeks, we work with thousands of real estate agents across the country and help them with online lead generation and follow-up. Our goal is to leverage technology to improve relationships and help agents be more successful.
To that end, we have created a helpful resource for agents to learn how to set face-to-face appointments with leads. While it may be uncomfortable at first, mastering the questions and scripts will make it easier over time.
The process of converting leads into clients is a two-step process: voice-to-voice (making a connection) and face-to-face (setting the appointment). The goal of the initial phone call is to set an appointment for an in-person meeting. The more face-to-face meetings an agent has, the more invested clients will become in the process and in the agent.
Ultimately, it's important to remember that real estate is a relational business, not a transactional one. Without a face-to-face meeting, it is much harder to convert a lead into a client. So make those calls, set those appointments, and get in front of clients. With the right approach, you will be closing more deals in no time.
As the digital world continues to evolve and change, it is essential for real estate agents to stay up-to-date with technology and utilize it to their advantage.
However, it is also crucial to remember that the core of the real estate business is still about relationships and that the most valuable tool an agent has is still the face-to-face meeting.
So while technology can be a powerful tool to generate leads and support the sales process, it should never replace the importance of building strong relationships with clients.
