As a real estate agent, you know that retaining clients is just as important as winning them over and closing deals. In fact, 90% of clients say they'll use their former agent again, but only 12% actually do. To keep your past clients close and build long-lasting relationships, you need to implement real estate client retention strategies.
1. Provide outstanding customer service during the transaction - over-deliver on your promises, communicate regularly, and make the process as smooth as possible. This will help build rapport, trust, and a genuine relationship with your clients.
2. Remember important details about your clients and their families. Keep this information in your CRM and use it to personalize your follow-up. Send birthday, anniversary, and holiday greetings, as well as seasonal home maintenance reminders.
3. Send quarterly or annual market updates and CMAs to keep your clients informed about the local real estate market.
Host an annual client event, such as a barbecue or holiday party, to stay connected with your past clients and show them how much you appreciate their business.
