you an idea if it’s a hot lead.

If you meet someone at a coffee shop and he/she gives you their information then you can categorize them as “face to
face prospects”.

In cases where you are referred to as a prospect from a closed client ( which is one of the best types of prospect ) make
sure that you tagged this as well. Don’t forget to attach the contact who referred you to this lead make sure you add
their information to the profile as well.

Create plans for following up based on the information you have gathered for different types of lead. You may want
to push harder on prospects that are considered “hot” or on the verge of buying or selling. The more data you
have the more tailor-made your approach can be.

been specifically sent to them.

and investors. Send a weekly email update of new properties according to their preference and target areas.

real estate market trends.

possible results then try to create custom ads based on specific pages people are visiting on your website.

follow-ups and email, you will see more people closing as real estate clients.
