New Home Source Professional

The recently overhauled New Home Source Professional is teeming with goodness. The leading new home website for real estate agents is now clean, modern, and full of tools to help you advertise your newly constructed homes, communicate with agents, and continue to grow your business.

Haven’t seen it yet? Here are the features that make your new homes even more attractive to agents and their buyers:

Multiple search options. Your communities are now displayed in multiple search formats for agents, including: list, map or photo view, with quick previews. Adding a map search is a feature that agents specifically requested and the enhanced photo view allows your high resolution renderings to be seen clearly and more prominently.

Agents can save listings, save searches, and generate reports. With the new search tools, agents are able to better keep track of your properties to show their clients as well as print off reports of your communities to help potential buyers make the right decision.

Custom Agent Sites. Communication with agents has never been easier! Agents now can now have their own microsite showcasing all of the new home communities in their areas. So your homes get more exposure and agents are able to better communicate with clients and educate them about your communities.

Tracking client activity. Being able to track clients on the site will allow for more effective communication to further them through their home buying journey. You will be able to see how often your properties are being viewed and what features are attracting the most attention. This way you will know what content is best for each market.

Real estate agent leads can be some of the most qualified and motivated, so following up is the key to closing more deals. This means that you should review your responses to these leads to help maintain productive, long-term relationships with agents in your markets. As you know, the message you send to a real estate agent is going to be vastly different than a consumer. Make sure you have a successful strategy for agents using the following tips:

  1. Be sure to include agent-specific messaging in your communications. Avoid putting agents into a consumer email marketing campaign – this only serves to alienate agents (and their buyers) in your markets.
  2. If possible, reach out with a personal email or call, as opposed to an automated email campaign.
  3. If you use an automated email campaign, limit the number of emails and include an unsubscribe link. Providing them with meaningful content and inventory updates should keep them engaged to actively read your emails when they come through.

We hope that these improvements and tips will help you to properly nurture agent leads and foster strong working relationships that yield sales for years to come.
