Whether you&rsquo;re nurturing potential buyers or maintaining relationships with past clients, consistent communication is key to generating repeat business and referrals. In this blog, we&rsquo;ll break down strategies that simplify your communication efforts and help you turn leads into life-long clients!</p> <h3>Deep Dive: Why Staying Connected is the Key to More Deals</h3> <p>In 2024, <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers">88% of buyers</a> said they&rsquo;d use their agent again or recommend them to someone else. However, past reports have shown that <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/2023-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers-highlights-11-13-2023.pdf">only 13% of buyers</a> actually work with an agent they&#39;ve used before! That&rsquo;s a significant gap&mdash;so what&rsquo;s the missing link? Long term communication.</p> <h3><img alt="" src="/images/blog/Potential%20Clients.png" style="width: 1200px; height: 630px;" /></h3> <p>It&rsquo;s a familiar story... A couple meets a great real estate agent, but they&rsquo;re not ready to buy yet. Weeks turn into months, then a year, and when they&rsquo;re finally ready to purchase, they&rsquo;ve lost touch with that agent. Instead of tracking them down, they work with someone new.</p> <p>Similarly, even your happiest past clients may forget to refer you if you don&rsquo;t stay in touch. With social media and online resources, you may think you&rsquo;re easy to find, but without regular contact, you could be missing out on valuable referrals and repeat business!</p> <h3>How Real Estate Agents Can Build Strong, Lasting Relationships</h3> <p>So, how can we prevent you from falling victim to this growing statistic? Preventing this disconnect starts with building strong relationships from the beginning and maintaining them long after you close. We understand that real estate agents have busy schedules, which is why Wise Agent provides tools to streamline communication and simplify staying connected. With the right systems in place, maintaining strong client relationships becomes effortless!</p> <h3><img alt="" src="/images/blog/Building%20client%20relationships(1).png" style="width: 1200px; height: 630px;" /></h3> <h4>Keep Your Leads Engaged With Drip Campaigns</h4> <p>When a lead enters your CRM, it&rsquo;s essential to start building a connection immediately.
