At the Ray White Group’s recent Real Estate of Origin these agents helped secure more than 10,000 appraisals across Australia and New Zealand, ready to supercharge their teams’ upcoming spring market push.
In today’s episode of the Elevate podcast, hosted by Kylie Dulhunty, Lydia, Charlie, Avi and Rumaanah share the secrets behind securing so many appraisals and how they plan to convert them to listings and sales.
Lydia takes a deep dive into how to use recent sales as icebreakers, what to do when prospective clients tell you ‘no’ and how to coach new agents through their fear of picking up the phone.
Charlie reveals how acquiring local knowledge can be the key to connecting with sellers, why you need to build a strong database and know who to call when, and how to make every potential client feel important.
Avi Khan and Rumaanah Razak highlight the importance of preparation, using geographical data to avoid overlapping calls and why focusing on making quick, effective calls, and leveraging relationships with past clients, really works.
“It’s not connections by emails. You emailing somebody doesn’t mean you’re connected with that person. So I will throw an email, I’ll throw a text and my number one aim is to actually physically speak to (the client) because that’s where the connection comes. If you can get that, then you become the most valuable.” – Charlie Brothers
