In today’s competitive real estate landscape, effective follow up is more critical than ever. But here's the catch: you need to stay relevant and visible without crossing the line into being pushy or annoying.
The best agents in 2025 are mastering the art of follow up through personalization, consistency, and value driven communication. Below, we explore actionable strategies that help you maintain strong relationships, convert more leads, and keep your business growing.
Generic follow ups are easy to ignore. To stand out, you need to show clients that you remember what matters to them.
How to personalize effectively:
Example: "Hi Carlos, I remember you mentioned you're only interested in townhomes near the University District. Here's a new listing that matches your criteria perfectly. Let me know what you think."
This type of message shows attentiveness, not sales pressure.
If you're not offering value, you're just checking in. Each message should leave your prospect feeling informed or supported.
Ideas for value driven follow ups:
By becoming a helpful resource, you're positioning yourself as an advisor, not just a salesperson.

FAQ:
1. How often should real estate agents follow up with leads? Ideally, agents should follow up consistently, starting with a thank you message on day one and spaced follow ups over the next few weeks.
2. What kind of content should I send in follow ups? Send listings, market updates, home tips, videos, or any content that provides value to your specific client.
3. What if a client doesn’t respond after multiple follow ups? After two or three attempts, give them space. Schedule a future check in and continue sharing useful content periodically.
