NURTURING CONNECTIONS THROUGH EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Building and nurturing profitable relationships is essential for success in any industry, but it is especially important in the real estate and mortgage lending industries. In these fields, relationships are the very foundation upon which deals are made and businesses are built. But how are these valuable connections created?
Effective communication is key in building your profitable relationships. An effective communication strategy can keep you top of mind with those who can support your business and keep deals coming in the door.
Some realtors and lenders seem to thrive in any market while others struggle to stay afloat even in the best market conditions. Profitability for realtors and lenders is built on the nurturing of genuine connections with buyers, borrowers, and referral partners through adequate, relevant, and consistent communication. Take your time to get to know the people you are looking to work with. Learn and understand their needs and goals, help them make a plan to reach them, and build trust with them.
Real estate and lending are highly referral-based industries. They are the epitome of the “people business”. Happy clients and partners will refer their friends, family, and colleagues to you, which can lead to a steady stream of new business, with less effort on your part. This allows you to focus on those relationships even more, which continues to feed the referral machine and drive you to success!
These industries are highly competitive, but they also provide a huge community of skilled professionals all working to provide a service to the general public. It is so important for you to build strong relationships with other industry professionals (i.e. other real estate agents, mortgage brokers and originators, title and escrow professionals, and insurance agents) even if they are your competition. Collaboration and community are essential in this business, and by working together, you can create opportunities for growth and success for everyone involved.
Remember this: it is not enough to simply make a sale or close a loan. Building long-term relationships with your clients and partners leads to repeat business, referrals, and a strong network of contacts that will continue to feed your business for years to come.
