January 26 2016
Testimonials or reviews from current or past clients are increasingly important to real estate agents.
In an age of "social proof," where 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, testimonials are the new "word of mouth" marketing.
As a real estate agent, you should be featuring them on all of your marketing materials, including your website and social media channels. But how do you go about getting them? That can be the tricky part, especially because you are already so busy with the business of buying and selling houses.
Here are our top three tips to help you collect client reviews that will, in turn, help you collect more clients:
Ask for them.
It's hard to get something if you don't ask for it! Make asking for testimonials part of your process at closing. Don't say, "Will you leave me a good review on my website?" (which will probably go in one ear and out the other). Instead, ask for feedback: "What did you like about the home buying/selling process?" You can do this via email or in person, depending on your level of comfort.
Some clients might even let you film their response with your smartphone, giving you video content that you can easily upload to your website, YouTube channel and Facebook page.
Facebook is also a great place to collect testimonials, especially if you add their free review feature to your business page, which brings us to our next tip...
