Tips for Real Estate Agents on Implementing Effective Text/SMS Strategies
Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) August 31, 2013 -- With more than half of Internet searches coming from smart phones, obtaining a prominent and influential placement on your buyers mobile phone is more important than ever.
With today’s constant influx of messaging and content, it’s crucial to keep every prospective buyer engaged, informed and responsive in any business. However, agents and buyers in the real estate industry have ample information from more outlets than ever; it’s easy to get lost in the digital fray.
An effective text/SMS strategy will effectively connect with customers. It provides a personalized method of communication to maintain and foster engagement throughout the entire home buying process. My Community Stars offers the following tips on implementing this strategy with clients:
-Introduce using Text/SMS with the client at the outset as an instant and reliable method of communicating.
-Explain that email can get caught in SPAM filters or fall victim to server issues and delays.
-Email may not be read for hours, which in a competitive market can translate to lost opportunity for buyers and agents.
-Exchange contact information via text at the first opportunity.
-Agree on “Do Not Disturb” hours and respect them.
-Have the buyer text links, photos of homes they pass while driving or any information they find regarding properties of interest. Urge them to do so at the moment they find them.
-Send text alerts on new listings, providing an instant opportunity to act upon in a competitive market.
