When was the last time you followed up with a lead or a client? How did it go? Did you feel like a trusted resource or more like a telemarketer? Welcome back my friends. This is RealtorChatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors where we bring you short actionable insights to help you thrive. I'm your host, Gary McGowan. And today we're diving into follow-up that critical yet tricky art of staying connected without feeling like your persist without feeling like you're pestering people.

In my early days, follow up used to feel like walking a tightrope. I wanted to stay top of mind, but not come across as pushy. One day, a lead actually picked up the phone and said, Gary, I know it's you. I'll call you when I'm ready. Not my finest moment, but it taught me something important. Follow up isn't about pressure. It's about presence. Today's quick win. Follow up with three people today, but make it feel personal.

Send a quick text or an email that shows your thinking about their needs, not your agenda. It could be as simple as, hey, I saw this article about the market and I thought of you, how's the family? I hope everyone's doing great. A friendly check-in like this reminds people that you're there when they need you.

Here's the key, effective follow up is all about being helpful, not hounding. People appreciate a realtor who stays in touch without pushing an agenda. It's a way of showing that you care about them, not just the deal. So my friends, let's make follow up a friendly connection instead of a sales tactic. Go out there, connect genuinely and see how it feels to be seen as a resource and not a telemarketer.

And as always, stay motivated, keep laughing and keep thriving through real connections. This is Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors where success is built on relationships.
