The most popular social media app among the random sample of realtors surveyed was\u00a0<strong>Facebook<\/strong>, with 90% of respondents reporting they used the app, followed by\u00a0<strong>Instagram<\/strong>\u00a0at 52% and\u00a0<strong>LinkedIn<\/strong>\u00a0at 48%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor newer agents that don\u2019t have a high close rate or who are just starting, they don\u2019t have a ton of money to spend out of pocket on advertising expenses, so meeting clients online can be a great tool,\u201d Wiener told conference attendees. \u201cIt is a great way to jump start your business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While meeting clients online can be a great way to generate more leads, it&#8217;s a challenge to weed out the casual home searchers from the serious buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For both Wiener and Lane, getting buyers to commit to a house tour is a great first step to taking the relationship into the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first home a buyer tours is most likely not the one they will buy, but it is a golden lead generating opportunity for agents,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agents today have to adapt to consumers&#8217; expectations of instant gratification. Today, when a homebuyer clicks a \u201cschedule a tour\u201d button on a brokerage website or on a listing aggregation platform like Zillow or Redfin, instead of seeing a completely open calendar, searchers can see exactly when a home is available for touring and if other tours are scheduled. According to Wiener, this has resulted in fewer showings being booked, however the number of completed showings has remained that same. Wiener concluded that the more casual home searchers are getting weeded out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another strategy Wiener said Redfin has utilized to find more qualified leads, is to ask users a series of questions about their home search and whether or not they would consider working with a Redfin agent. While this has reduced the overall number of leads generated by Redfin agents, Wiener said the number of sales has remained steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is getting rid of those spurious clicks and helping agents use their time more efficiently,\u201d Wiener said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For brokerages or teams lacking the manpower or technology power to create an online survey like Redfin\u2019s, Lane suggests calling clients who book home tours before actually going on the tour to get a better sense of where they are in their home buying journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most lead generation is focused on home buyers, both Lane and Wiener told attendees to not ignore lead generation opportunities with home sellers. They suggested finding a happy medium between the online algorithm-generated price estimates and the full, in-person sales pitch. At Redfin, Wiener said this means offering them a Redfin Now cash offer estimate, but he said that there was no one right way to go about doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to make it a more frictionless experience for sellers, so no one feels that their time is being wasted,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, both Lane and Wiener said that balancing the friction of lead channels for consumers with the cost to serve clients will be key for agents and brokers who wish to improve their close rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Wiener, the president of real estate operations at Redfin, and Michael Lane, the VP and GM of ShowingTime, addressed the future of online lead generation during a panel at the 2022 Gathering of Eagles conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34740,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1760],"class_list":["post-3284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
