How do you effectively communicate with your clients to build a lasting client relationship? In our recent discussion, we shared strategies to improve client connections and encourage repeat business and referrals. The focus is on starting strong with regular phone calls and updates, which helps set clear expectations and build trust.

We also talked about using technology, like a 36-touch system through a CRM, to stay in touch with clients and keep them updated on market trends. A valuable tip for agents is to understand their clients’ unique needs and maintain proactive post-transaction engagement to boost client satisfaction leading to more referrals.
