At the time of sale, 74% of people say they would use the same realtor again in the future. And yet, only 13% actually DO use the same agent the second time around. Why the discrepancy? It’s because real estate agents don’t bother to stay in touch with their sphere of influence! So, what strategies can you use to reach out on a regular basis and get listings from your SOI?
Christopher Stafford is a successful listing agent with 25 years of experience as a top producer in the San Francisco Bay Area.
