Working as a real estate agent or broker is all about your network and how well you can attain and maintain relationships. Since you can only plan so many real-life coffee meetups in one day, a lot of conversations will happen online. Email marketing makes this easy.
Signup forms automatically collect new leads, while automated emails start the conversation. You just need to jump in every now and then to check the engagement and see where people need additional information or help.
As for branding, your emails are your vehicle to having one-on-one conversations with new leads. With each email you send, you can show your personality and convince new subscribers that you’re the broker that’ll make their property dreams come true.
Sending the right emails will nurture the customer relationship and build trust. This can be achieved by segmenting contacts to create personalized content.
