In this episode of Realty Chatter Daily: Quick Wins for Realtors, Gary McGowan dives into one of the biggest mistakes agents make—disappearing after the deal is done. If you’re not staying in touch with past clients, you’re leaving business (and referrals) on the table. Gary shares a personal wake-up call from a past client who didn’t even realize he was still in the game, proving why consistent follow-up is key.
Today’s Quick Win:
Stop ghosting your past clients with these three simple steps:
1. Check In Regularly: A quick text, email, or handwritten note keeps you top of mind.
2. Add Value: Share market updates, home maintenance tips, or a simple “thinking of you” message.
3. Make It Personal: Remember birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones—clients appreciate genuine connection.
Key Takeaways:
1. Out of Sight, Out of Mind: If you’re not reaching out, someone else will be.
2. Relationships Drive Referrals: People work with agents they remember and trust.
3. A Simple Touchpoint Can Bring Business: A casual check-in can turn into a new deal or referral.
Quote of the Day:
“They’d rather hear from you now than forget your name later.”
