According to NAR’s most recent Profile of Real Estate Firms, 60 percent of the average brokerage’s business comes from repeat and referral business. At the same time, however, real estate pros are notoriously bad at staying in touch after the sale — meaning that there are even more referral-based deals to be done with the right kind of follow-up.
When a satisfied former client refers you to someone else — or chooses to work with you all over again — the rapport-building potential is increased and the cost of lead nurturing decreases. With every successful transaction, you reinforce for this core group of clients that you’re the answer to their most pressing real estate challenges — then they share that good news with others.
