(source)It is important to follow up IMMEDIATELY when you receive real estate leads, whether it’s from your website, through a lead generation company, or contact form from an open house somebody filled out. Start contacting them right away. Real estate leads will take notice of how responsive an agent is even before they commit to anything. If an agent can impress a lead with their commitment, they may have just turned them into a client.

When you work in real estate, there are some things that you know – so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to read about how important it is to respond when you have a lead. But that doesn’t mean that everyone who works in real estate has the time to act immediately when someone requests more info online, calls the office or even when a list of leads that they’ve purchased arrives in the mail.

When you’re working with a real estate assistant, you won’t have to drop everything when a lead comes your way – your real estate assistant can take the lead and follow up for you.

Your real estate assistant can set up an auto-reply so that when someone requests info from your website, they hear back from you right away. Looking for something more personalized? Let your real estate assistant screen your email and send replies as they are requested.

Likewise, your real estate assistant can work with you to design great postcards and marketing materials to send out when you get a new list and can be there to answer calls when they come in.

With the right partner, you won’t have to worry about following up on leads – and you want have to neglect your current clients to make it happen.
