Estate Agents: How Attractive is Your Website?

| June 29, 2020

How attractive are you? How interesting are you?

I bet you’d give yourself a solid 8 out of 10, maybe even more?

Now, how did you actually reach that score?

It was most likely based on how you see yourself when you look in the mirror along with how you think your friends and relations see you. You will also have taken into account how interesting you think you are based on the number and type of friends you have and how often they want to hang out with you.

But do you notice one thing here?

How helpful have you been to your clients these past few months? No, really, I mean if you take a proper good, long look at yourself and your agency, have you been, and do you continue to be as helpful as you can possibly be when it comes to your clients?

I’m interested to know because there was an article that caught my eye in the Property Reporter newsletter last week which stated:

“According to new research by home setup service, Just Move In, an overwhelming 69% of the nation feel that estate agents should do more to help them during the stressful process of moving between homes.”

Woah! 69% is not a small percentage…

You’re a fantastic estate agent, right? Of course you are. Or, you think you are.

But how does your target audience see you? Or, do they see you at all?

Each day you show up, and you run your agency. You collect leads from property portals, and you duly go to booked valuations.

Depending on your workload you work early, you work late, you work weekends, you add your market share stats and data to your website so that everyone can see how amazing you are. You give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back at the end of the week for all the hard work and the hours you are putting in.

Estate Agents in competition: How do you feel?

estate agents how do you feel about your competitors

I was chatting with a long-standing client recently. She runs a very successful estate agency in the South East, and we generally enjoy a bit of chit-chat before we talk business! This recent catch-up was no exception, and she was obviously desperate to tell me ‘a funny story’ about how one of her competitors had quite recently tried to sabotage her reputation by publicly bringing her credentials into question.

I mean, I wouldn’t say that’s funny – more rude and disrespectful!

Estate Agents: It’s not all about you!

| June 1, 2020

When was the last time you learned a new word?

In fact, I’ll rephrase that, when was the last time you learned a new word and then actually used it as part of your vocabulary?

I’m guessing it’s been a while, because generally, in our day to day lives we don’t encounter new words all that often. If we do and we don’t know what they mean, we forget them.
