3 steps to warm up cold real estate leads

It’s happened to all of us—a lead asked about a property and you did everything right. From the personalized response within 2 minutes, to the call where you wowed them with your neighborhood knowledge, you made a great first impression. But when you go to set up the meeting, you get nothing but crickets.

No doubt your database contains some cold leads, but giving up on them could cost you money down the road. You never know how many deals you could get by simply re-engaging and warming them up, so why not take a few minutes to send a market report for the area they’re interested in?
