Following up is one of the key strategies for turning real estate leads into clients, it is a marathon, not a sprint.

Also showing the client you have individual property information about the area where the property is located including school, housing prices, and resident demographic information gives you an advantage over other real estate agents.
Be Mobile – For fast responsiveness to potential clients, you need to be mobile. It’s important for real estate agents to do their jobs which includes managing phone calls, customer contacts, and accessing listing information without being bound to a desk. Providing relevant local information helps to quickly establish lasting client relationships.
