🌟 Exciting News for Home Buyers and Sellers! 🌟 I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Compass’s innovative Reverse Prospecting tool! 🏡✨ I’m excited to share a unique advantage I can offer as your agent. At Compass, we have access to proprietary technology called Reverse Prospecting, which lets me monitor potential buyer activity on your listing in real time. What does that mean for you? I can see when any of the 33,000+ Compass agents and the millions of buyers they represent view, share, favorite or comment on your listing. Agents at other companies don’t have a tool like this that lets them see engagement from agents and their buyers across the country. Instead of waiting for buyers to approach us, I can directly contact their agents, allowing us to adjust our marketing tactics and giving you more control throughout the entire selling process. By gathering feedback from those agents, I can give you the additional visibility needed to make informed decisions, accelerate negotiations, and position your home to attract stronger offers. Whether you’re thinking of selling or just curious about the market, this is a fantastic opportunity to gain a competitive edge! Curious to learn more? Send me a DM or comment below!

With housing inventory at a record-breaking low, real estate agents have been forced to adapt and change the way they do business in order to produce listings. Focusing only on buyers is no longer a sustainable path to commissions and is requiring agents to focus on new listings. So here are 6 creative ways to find listings in today’s market and pack your pipeline no matter the market conditions! 1. Establish a Foolproof Business Plan Your business plan should be data-driven, built off your most successful lead gen methods, but still flexible enough to allow for future growth and development. Know your why, set trackable goals, and focus on consistency, lead gen tools, and your weekly schedule. 2. Circle Prospect with GeoLeads™ to Create Inventory Now more than ever, homeowners want to know the value of their home and what’s happening in the market. You can be the agent who answers these questions for them. 3. Call Old Expireds to List More Homes Low inventory and high demand means fewer and fewer listings are expiring each month. That’s why calling Old Expireds (from 6-24 months ago) is a great way to find more business. 4. Contact Your Sphere of Influence to Generate Business Your sphere of influence (SOI) and past clients are the best source for repeat and referral business. Your sphere already trusts you, which means they’re much warmer than the leads you cold call. To effectively utilize your sphere, you need to consistently contact them to stay top of mind. 5. Prospect FSBOs to Pack Your Pipeline In a strong seller’s market, many homeowners feel empowered to list their home on their own and skip paying an agent’s commission. What they don’t know that is your expertise could actually net them more money, even with a commission. 6. Use Social Media to Keep Leads Coming to You According to Business Insider, between 46% and 51% of adults in the US are using social media more since the pandemic began. Having a social media presence is becoming a must in the real estate industry because so many eyes are glued to screens. Do you have any other creative ways to find listings in today's market?

Question: How to find seller leads? A: Start by engaging potential buyers who might be ready to sell their current home. Many homeowners aren't actively considering selling, but they’re already excited about buying a new property. Here’s how to unlock opportunities: ✨ Start Conversations Early: Discuss their buying goals first, and the conversation will naturally lead to the sale of their existing home. 🏡 Offer a Property Assessment: Provide them with a property assessment before they’re ready to sell. This helps homeowners avoid unnecessary renovations and positions you as a trusted advisor. 🔑 Pro Tip: A personalized approach not only builds trust but can also lead to listing opportunities faster than expected! 📺 See this strategy in action: https://lnkd.in/gfeBCMsW 📖 For a deep dive on the topic, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/gBJxW9un 💬 What strategies have you used to uncover seller leads?

Do you respond to all of your leads? According to a survey by Mike DelPrete, nearly half of buyer leads go unresponded... DelPrete managed a team of undercover “secret home shoppers” to test the responsiveness of brokerages to online inquiries on home listings. His team conducted 100 such tests and found significant lapses in how brokerages handled contact with potential buyers. The average time for a response to online contact was 8 hours and 17 minutes, but the median time was 39 minutes (that seems pretty good). However, he found that 47% of inquiries didn’t even receive a response, as brokerages left on the table many opportunities to cultivate a new lead. https://lnkd.in/grXd5-5r
