Why incubate Real Estate Leads?

At RealtorExposue.com, we meet many agents that had fail to incubate their leads properly.  Most real estate agents or brokers are used to generating leads that want to buy within a month or two. 

When real estate agent enter the online lead generation market, they contact many leads but fail to stay in touch.  One of the most important factors to consider and follow is to always stay in touch with your leads.  Most leads close at some point, this is a point to recognize and keep in mind.  On average most agents start closing leads on the third month.  So generating online leads and following up takes persistance and patience. Remember patience is intelligence.

Important Factors To Closing More Real Estate Leads

As most agents working with online generated leads are new to the market, they can easily fail to monetize leads unless they understand how leads generated online work as far as the buying or selling process of a lead is concerned. 

The number one and most important thing to do when generating online leads is to call them right away, as statistically according to a recent article by NAR 65% of home buyers go with the first agent they speak to.

 Then number two factor to consider is that if you are generating leads through a third party that the leads are delivered to you in real-time.  Real-time means as soon as the leads is generated you will have it infront of you, not we will send it within 72 hours, by then most likely it is too late.

The number three factor is are the leads exclusive.  Is the lead generated given to you or a group of 5 agents competing to call first.

 Based on these factors you should be able to determine who can provide you with leads that have a higher return on investment.

Effective Real Estate Online Marketing

It is evident that the internet has become a powerful tool for home buyers and sellers.  That is why real estate agents should be spending their marketing dollars on online marketing, and not on print media.

 There are six main types of online marketing, some more effectient than others as far as return on investment (ROI).  The different types of online marketing are: search engine marketing, banner ads, podcasting, online public relations, syndication, and video media. 

What type of online marketing should a real estate agent be doing?  The most effective are search engine marketing and video media.

Search engine marketing has the highest ROI due to its efficiency of directing pre-qualified traffic to an agents website.  Traffic is pre-qualified as soon as a potential home buyer or seller searches on a search engine the real estate location of interest.  Once that potenital real estate consumer comes to the search results page and is directed to an agents webpage that visitor is pre-qualified.

Video marketing in the real estate marketing has become more popular and has evolved.  The type of video marketing that should be done is a presentation of a listing or real estate services, not a virtual tour.

 These are two types of online marketing every real estate agent should be taking advantage of.   Visit RealtorExposure.com to find out more how we can help you generate real estate leads, with our lead generation solutions.
