5 Steps to Becoming the Best Estate Agent in Your Town

Are you passionate about your estate agency and want to become the most noted estate agency in your local area?
Finding a family their dream home can feel like the greatest accomplishment, and can be extremely rewarding. In order to become the best estate agent in town, here are some top tips for success.

1. Develop Exceptional Customer Service

As with any role in a customer-facing industry, delivering on customer service will help to keep your customers engaged and have them coming back for a repeat visit if they sell their house in the future.

It’s almost inevitable that you may encounter hiccups during the buying or selling process, so having a reassuring and confident service with your customers will help to keep them calm and reassured that whatever problem you encounter will be easily fixed.

2. Smash Your SEO Marketing

SEO has an important role to play in your marketing strategy as an estate agent. Not only does SEO help you capture customers, it also serves to use search engines like Google to capture your target audience by using keywords and enabling a high ranking result in results pages.

If you’re in need of some assistance with your SEO, award-winning agencies like Maratopia can help you on the right track to success. Whether you need top quality content writing, a new website build, or site maintenance, investing in the right SEO can help you a long way to attracting and retaining customers.

3. Have a Strong Social Media Presence

A strong social media presence will take you a long way with promoting your estate agent business, and will help you to give the houses you sell greater reach.

Whether you’re promoting the unique features of a house you’re listing, or sharing luxury or budget properties, social media is some of the most effective and useful marketing tools you can dream of. Picture-based or film-based platforms like Instagram or TikTok can be incredibly effective in reaching your target audience and creating engagement.

If you need tips on creating an engaging profile, Instagram’s help pages offer tips for making engaging posts and reels to draw your customers’ attention faster.

4. Be Knowledgeable About the Market and Economy

As your industry is based around market value, be aware that values of housing can fluctuate according to demand and inflation amongst other factors.

Staying updated on changes to the economy, and offering fair prices to potential buyers and sellers will give the impression of fairness and expertise. Be transparent about any potentially hidden costs, and communicate well with your customers to allow for a smooth process.

5. Manage Feedback Well

Any feedback you receive as a business should be handled respectfully and responsibly. If a customer offers you constructive feedback, it’s a good idea to make contact with the customer and discuss areas of concern or for improvement.

One way you can do this is to take ownership of your Google Business Profile. Google is one of the most common places where a customer may leave a review, so ensuring you respond respectfully to each comment (positive and otherwise!) will help you build a bond with customers.
