Your Untapped Lead Gen Source: Lenders
92% of consumers trust a referral from someone they know. In 2021, 68% of home sellers noted their real estate agent was a direct referral from family or friends.
This is good news for agents as referred customers have a nearly 30% higher conversion rate than typical lead gen sources which historically return a mere 1-3%. Given those statistics, why aren’t we placing more emphasis on building relationships and a network with other professionals who can refer us business on a more regular basis?
Beyond the friend and family connection, there is an untapped lead source that real estate professionals can use to generate leads consistently – lenders. Service professionals such as mortgage brokers and even financial advisors can fill the referral gap as they interact with clients who are navigating real estate investments.

No one really talks about it, but being a real estate agent means putting in hours of work that no one else sees, and often, it goes unnoticed.

Take a breath. Slow down. Before you react out of stress or fear, remind yourself, no one is out to get you. The market isn’t your enemy, and your competition isn’t the problem. Most of the time, it’s just the noise in your own mind. If you don’t take a moment to pause and actually […]
