Investors who are ready to cash out are looking to optimize their returns; they present a great opportunity for agents to obtain access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/altos-has-the-housing-market-hit-bottom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multiple new listings.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investors who are ready to double down and expand their portfolios might not provide access to listings, but they will be transacting! Build the relationship with them on the purchase so when the time comes for them to sell, you will obtain the listing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to take action on investor business is to seek out those who own multiple properties in your market. Look for rental properties in your area and search for the owner. Once you find the owner, dig a little deeper, there\u2019s a high possibility that they own more than one property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the type of investor, establishing a relationship with one is a win and an opportunity for new business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Pursue expired and withdrawn listings&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may not be a new groundbreaking tactic, but it is one that many agents have not pursued in recent years. Seek out expired and withdrawn listings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agents who entered the real estate industry over the past few years have not needed to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/how-to-make-home-buying-less-heartbreaking\/?cx_testId=2&amp;cx_testVariant=cx_1&amp;cx_artPos=1&amp;cx_experienceId=EXSCFTQKT12O#cxrecs_s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">difficult conversations<\/a> with sellers requesting a single price reduction, let alone multiple. This has ignited a spark in more and more homes that are truly sellable falling off the market as an expired or withdrawn listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agents with strong negotiation and communication skills have the opportunity to dominate this space over the next 12 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Don\u2019t ignore underused marketing tactics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing tactics such as Google Local Service Advertisements (LSA), present a huge opportunity for you to expand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/12-ways-for-real-estate-agents-to-be-local-experts\/?cx_testId=4&amp;cx_testVariant=cx_1&amp;cx_artPos=4&amp;cx_experienceId=EXSCFTQKT12O#cxrecs_s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your reach<\/a> and audience. These ads can reach those inside your market as well as those outside your current market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on improving your Google reviews. Agents that stand out amongst the crowd are those with highly rated reviews and more of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Take it back to the basics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always keep your past clients top of mind. They are one of your best opportunities to generate new listings. These clients are already familiar with you, like you and love your service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As agents, we often overlook the power of following up with our past clients. It should be part of your routine to follow up with them at least once every quarter after the close of the transaction. Build relationships that will make them not just future clients, but a source of consistent referral business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A low inventory market does not equal a lack of opportunity. If agents are willing to innovate their strategies, be proactive and stay consistent, opportunities will find them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Craig M.
