The First Step To a Real Estate Lead

Today I ranned across an article that talks about creating trust when calling a real estate lead.  Yes, creating trust is a very important part of the process of closing a real estate lead.

 When calling a real estate lead an agent should have something to offer to the buyer, not only expect them to say " Yes, I am looking for an agent and I want to buy a home next month can you help me?  The reallity is that most leads will not say this.  

 The way to approach a potential home buyer is by offering something of interest to them.  I leave this to your own imagination.  Some examples can a system where they can search the MLS, save their favorite properties, view school and neighborhood statistics.  Some agents also offer a rebate. If anyone else has had success using other strategies feel free to post it on RealtorExposure's blog.
