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.

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.

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.
