Top 10 Prospecting Tips for Real Estate Agents: Part 1

Presented by Larson Educational Services.

For a quick introduction to prospecting, read our most recent post here or watch this quick video:


Now that you know what prospecting is and why it’s important, we can get into the details of how exactly to prospect for clients. Most of these tips require no special talent, only a bit of effort and organization.

10. Add a note about prospects in your cell phone
This is a simple, easy-to-access way to store pertinent personal information about prospects. Some examples of notes you add to a client’s contact information might include: “Planned retirement in 2 years” or “Children are going to college” or “Just got promoted at work.” The key here is to let your prospects know that you remember them and you are ready to help them move homes after a big change. It all comes down to caring about people and what’s going on in their lives. Remember why you got into this field.



9. Have business cards on you at all times
Make sure the cards you carry are current and have up-to-date information. With a business card on you at all times, you can always be ready to wrangle in a prospect. You don’t want to be the person who is writing her contact information on napkins and scrap paper when you meet a potential client. Carry the card, make a friend, give them the card, sell their home.

8. Conduct a first-time home buyer seminar
These can take place in your local church, a recreation center, or any other local venue that will allow you to use their space. Churches, in fact, will often have child care available if you require it. The seminar can be simple: serve juice and cookies in the church and tell some prospective buyers about home ownership. If this isn’t your style, then there is no need to do it, but if you are willing to get out of your comfort zone, you can create an intimate relationship with prospects who will be likely to endorse you to others in the community.

7. Pay attention to the language people use
Analyze the language in FSBO ads and adapt your marketing presentation to fit the style of each prospect. You can garner tips from other agents if you have built relationships with them as well.

6. Smile when you pick up the phone
Experts say the simple act of smiling subtly alters your voice and manner and makes you more approachable. Standing while talking will also strengthen your voice. You could even record one of your calls to see how professional you sound and use that information to improve your conversations with prospective clients.

These quick tips will have you on the road to building good relationships with prospective clients, which puts you directly on course to sell more homes.

    What is Prospecting, Why is it Necessary, and Why it Scares Most Agents

    Brought to you by Fort Myers real estate school Larson Educational Services

    What is prospecting?
    Prospecting is the daily discipline of seeking out people who may be interested in buying or selling real estate. In short, this means meeting and staying in contact with people. Without prospects you will never have an opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge as a real estate professional. A successful agent is always prospecting—whether you’re at your kid’s high school basketball game or at the grocery store—and a successful agent knows and accepts that different groups of people have different needs. If you are prospecting correctly, you will come into contact with substantially different political, social, philosophical, and economic views. Your capacity to find clients will be directly affected by your ability to be understanding and empathetic.

    Why is prospecting necessary?
    Prospecting is less a matter of getting listings and sales than it is a matter of developing sources for listings and sales. You need to be open to the opportunity to connect with people in all settings because you never know who is looking to buy or sell a home. And don’t disregard prospects because they aren’t currently on the market; get people’s contact information and keep in touch with them so when that time in their life comes when they need an agent, they can trust you. Prospects are the lifeblood of your career as an agent; without prospects, your business will dry up. Use imagination and commitment to build a wide sphere of influence through regular prospecting.

    Why does prospecting scare most agents?
    Agents are afraid to prospect because people tend to fear failure. This apprehension is perfectly natural; we don’t want to be embarrassed by a rejection. However, any successful person in any field will tell you that failure is a prerequisite to success. You can help overcome these fears through good planning. Prospecting for clients is a game of numbers that requires an organized and detailed plan, but if you follow through, you can increase your odds of success. Remember: you’re just getting out there and making connections with people as you make your way through everyday life. Have some fun, roll the dice, and meet some people even if it means you fail sometimes.
