Grow Your Property Market Exponentially

Here are some strategies to work on when it comes to exponentially growing your commercial real estate business quickly and effectively.  Adapt these strategies to your local area and your brokerage:

  1. Local Sales Records and History – You can go back in the sales records for the local area over the last five years.  You will find property transactions and people to approach today as part of a prospecting model.  It is a fact that many Property Investors purchase and or sell investment property frequently as part of growing a portfolio.  You simply need to know these people; a review of historic property sales will help you find them.
  2. Signboards – Get plenty of signboards into your local area as part of a listing and prospecting drive.  Local business owners and property investors will then soon recognise your activity and property specialisation.  This also then makes it a lot easier for you to approach new people.  The signboards placed on listings also create greater levels of enquiry for you to work on.  Every quality exclusive listing should feature a high quality signboard.  The cost of the signboard should be covered in vendor paid marketing funds.
  3. Control your listing stock – It is a fact that the top agents in the commercial property market today control the listing stock through exclusivity, and in that way control the clients, the inquiry, the marketing, negotiations, and inspections.  Avoid open listings as much as possible; they can waste a lot of your time.
  4. Marketing funds – Adjust your listing and sales pitch or presentation to make sure that you convert more exclusive listings that include a reasonable budget of vendor paid marketing.  There is a direct correlation between successful transactions, exclusivity, and marketing funds.  Listing exclusivity supported by a vendor funded marketing campaign will allow you to comprehensively target market the property and achieve a better result in price and or rent.  Make sure that your property presentation successfully covers the importance of the marketing campaign in achieving a result.
  5. Marketing strategies – There is a significant difference in marketing open listings vs. exclusive listings.  The results that you achieve with marketing any open listing will be through luck more than process.  With exclusive listings however you will find that your conversion and success rate should be extremely high and in most cases over 75%.  That conversion rate will also improve through professional development and personal property knowledge.
  6. Regular prospecting – Every day devote 2 or 3 hours to the prospecting activity.  Specialise as you do so within a defined geographical territory, and also focus on a property type.  That will then help you with dialogue as well as pitching and presenting your services as a property specialist.
  7. Referral business – Ask about local property activity and seek out referral business with everyone with whom you connect.  There are plenty of leads and opportunities to be identified in talking to other people, business owners, and property investors.  In most cases they will know the property intentions and activities of nearby property owners and business proprietors.
  8. Internet Marketing – You can build your personal profile online through some simple Internet Marketing activities.  Write some editorials relating to the quality exclusive listings that you bring in.  Put those editorials on a personal property blog specifically designed for the local area.  You can connect those editorials and articles to your social media activities.
  9. Property market update – Produce a regular monthly property market update as a single sheet or flyer to be distributed across the Internet, through the e-mail, and directly as part of a door knocking and prospecting process.
  10. Database growth – It is a fact that your database will be a critical component in helping you build property market activity, commissions, and listings.  From the very start of your career use a comprehensive database to track your interactions with clients and prospects.  Frequency of contact and relevance will help you convert new clients over time.  The database will help you remember conversations and opportunities as you connect with a lot of people locally.
  11. Comprehensive services – Make sure that you are linking your services successfully across sales leasing and property management.  One transaction can lead to another with many clients and with many properties.  Serve your clients and VIP Property customers in a comprehensive way.

So there are some good things that you can do here when it comes to exponentially growing your market share over time.  Develop a system around these strategies at a personal and professional level to show the market that you really are a top commercial agent.
