With the help of certain tools and systems, real estate professionals can take steps to guarantee the long-term loyalty of past clients and earn the future business of their current prospects.

As a real estate agent, there are few things more painful than losing a lead that you spent money generating and time nurturing to another agent, or worse, discovering that a past client just went ahead and listed the very house you sold them a few years earlier with another agent.

If this has ever happened to you, you likely found yourself wondering what caused you to lose that lead or what you could have done differently to keep that past client loyal or secure that new prospect's business.  

WHY AGENTS LOSE LEADS TO COMPETITORS

This section might be hard to read, but unfortunately, there’s no good way to sugarcoat the fact that other real estate agents might simply be doing it better than you. 

Here are a few of the most common reasons that might be causing you to lose leads to competing agents. 

• Other agents are nurturing better.

Let’s face it. Nurturing leads means playing the long game. It is tedious, time-consuming, requires you to be organized, skilled at multitasking, and have a high attention to detail in order to do it right. Understandably, this is super challenging for many agents and it doesn’t take long for leads to get swept up by someone else who stays in touch more often than you do.  

• Other agents communicate more relevant messaging.

If you’ve noticed your attempts to reach out by email or text have had little to no engagement, you might be communicating the wrong message. People don’t generally like being sold to and could start to perceive your messages as spam if you’re not being careful about ensuring your communications always add value to the reader. If another agent does a better job at communicating and offers more value in their content, you’ll likely get beat out. 

• Other agents are doing better marketing. 

One of the main reasons you could be losing leads to other agents is simply because they do a better job of staying in front of people through their marketing efforts. Imagine being a seller and everywhere you look, the same real estate agent’s brand is ALWAYS front and center.  It would be a no-brainer to hire the agent you hear and see the most from and easily assume that they’re the best local real estate expert. 

• Other agents are giving better incentives. 

Finally, you could be losing leads because other agents are offering better services, tools, and incentives than you. If you had to choose between two real estate agents and one agent said they could do everything the other agent could do PLUS sell your house faster by using dynamic advertising to attract the most relevant local buyers while also providing you with personalized financial data about your home that you could use to build wealth; which agent would you choose?
