Are you doing drip e-mails for your real estate business? If written right, drip e-mails can be a great asset to any real estate team or solo agent. If you don’t have enough time in the day to keep up with people but still want to make sure they are getting touched, you need to start a drip e-mail campaign.
Some template website companies include a drip e-mail system that you can modify and make your own. If you are not sure if your website company offers this, just give them a quick call and they will be able to tell you if they offer this as part of your package.
If your website company doesn’t offer a drip e-mail program as part of their package, we know many great companies that have some great systems that we recommend to our clients.
Our real estate assistant team offers services for all of your real estate drip e-mail needs. We can write area specific drip e-mails for your relocation department or we can write follow-up e-mails to leads that come in from all of your lead generation systems.
If you are interested in finding out more about our services for your drip e-mails or just have questions regarding which system might be best for you to use, call Kandra Hamric at 734-446-0328.

Ultimately, home staging is one of the most important parts of the home selling process; because of this, you’re going to want to make sure that the clients that you’re working with are prepared. However, that means that you’re going to need to:
- Explain what home staging is.
- Explain why it’s important.
- Explain what’s involved.
- (Quite possibly, at least) help them get started in the process.
The challenge, of course, is that not every real estate professional who is working with sellers has all of the time necessary to really get the home staging process underway - especially when all of their clients are looking for some help. The good news is that a real estate assistant can help to make sure that everything is in order and that your clients “get” the home staging process.
Here are just a few of the things that a real estate assistant will be able to do:
- Help to create a brochure that explains home staging.
- Talk with your clients to answer questions that they have about home staging - about what can be touched up and about what may need to be repaired, paint colors and even about ways of choosing cleaning substances that aren’t going to cause an allergic reaction in anyone coming in to look at the home.
- Provide tips or work with your clients to make sure that their homes are ready to be shown.
What you’ll find - between helping to explain the home stage process and by having your real estate assistant work with you to get the homes looking their best - is that it’s easier to move homes from the market.
