  1. Top-of-Mind Awareness - Regular communication ensures your name is the first one people think of when they need real estate services.
  2. Strengthen Relationships - Consistent contact builds trust and reinforces your connection with clients and prospects.
  3. Stay Relevant - Regular updates keep you visible in a competitive market where people can easily forget you.
  4. Nurture Repeat Business - Past clients are more likely to work with you again if you stay in touch consistently.
  5. Generate Referrals - Consistent communication encourages past clients and prospects to refer you to friends and family.
  6. Showcase Expertise - Regularly sharing valuable insights demonstrates your knowledge and positions you as a trusted resource.
  7. Educate Your Audience - Provide helpful information about market trends, home maintenance, and buying/selling tips to keep your audience informed.

  14. Promote Listings - Highlight your active listings to remind your audience that you're actively helping buyers and sellers.
  15. Drive Website Traffic - Use email and social media to link back to your website, blog, or property listings, increasing engagement.
  16. Adapt to Changing Preferences - Stay top-of-mind as people's real estate needs evolve over time.
  17. Show Appreciation - Regular communication provides opportunities to thank past clients and recognize their loyalty.
  18. Combat Competitor Outreach - Consistent contact ensures your audience doesn't turn to another agent simply because they stayed in touch.
  19. Highlight Success Stories - Share testimonials and success stories to build credibility and inspire confidence.
  20. Remain Memorable - In a crowded industry, consistent contact helps you stand out and be remembered when it matters most.

Consistent communication through email and social media is not just a marketing strategy, it's an essential part of building lasting relationships and driving success in real estate.

It costs 5 times as much to get a new customer as it does to keep an existing one.  Start with the people you've sold and the ones who already know, like and trust you and increase your list from there.

If you don't feel you have the time or resources at the current time, InTouch Systems can help you by producing an impressive newsletter and daily social media posts Monday through Friday.  Explore our website and all the examples, then, take a trial or schedule a personal demonstration.

It could be the best thing you do for your business this year.
