The Art of Converting Valuations into Listings: A Guide for Estate Agents The transition from valuation to listing is a critical phase in the estate agency business, where skill, strategy, and communication converge. The key lies in understanding the needs and concerns of your clients and addressing them effectively. During valuations, it's essential to establish a connection, demonstrating not only your market knowledge but also your commitment to their best interests. This involves a deep understanding of their specific situation, be it selling their property or looking for their dream home. Providing clear, honest advice and setting realistic expectations form the cornerstone of trust, which is indispensable in converting valuations into listings.

Estate Agents, it’s time to roll your eyes and politely end the Zoom call the next time you hear either of these two phrases from a software salesperson… And software salespeople, it’s time to stop using these two phrases… 1. “This one feature is going to save you so much time.” ‘Saving time’ is NOT a value prop! We hear from Estate Agents all the time, “Rex is great because it saves time”, and because we hear this, salespeople think that’s what they should be saying to prospects. But, not one Estate Agent I have spoken to is looking for a new CRM system just to “save time.” Instead, what they are actually looking for is to eliminate (or automate) tedious or unpleasant tasks. For example, technically, Rex saves time by automating nurturing emails. But what it is actually doing is eliminating the tedium of sending repetitive emails. So, instead of ‘save time’, the value prop is: “Now you can stay in touch with homeowners in your area, without having to constantly remember when to send emails.” Phrasing a value proposition this way is an easy and repeatable formula… “Now you can [their goal], without [the mundane bit].” And if you can communicate a strong value prop, it helps Estate Agents to visualise exactly how your product will improve their life - getting you closer to the sale. The second phrase… “You only need to make one more sale to cover the cost of our product.” 🤮

Brokers Avoid these common mistakes! ‼️8 Essential questions for ALL limited company BTL’s‼️ 1) What’s the company name or number 2) Who are the directors 3) Who are the shareholders 4) What are the SIC codes 5) Does the company own other assets? 6) What type of shares does each person own and are these dividend only or full voting shares 7) Does the company have any trading activity (eg something other than renting property) 8) Where has the deposit come from Questions 1-4 are basic and I expect everyone reading this will ask those, but how many of you ask questions 5-8? ❌Not every lender will accept an SPV that owns commercial property or land or does developing ❌Not every lender can ignore certain shareholders ❌Not every lender accepts +2 borrowers ❌Not every lender accepts trading companies. ❌Not every lender accepts inter company loans for deposits, or equity or cash gifts from family. ✅ Landbay can accept all of the above Place the case right first time round, you don’t get paid for keying 2 cases for the same mortgage……!

Who said that? Ghosting is a big problem in estate agency where people viewing property to buy never return calls or emails from the estate agents that showed them the property just trying to get feedback for their client. The one thing I would say to people who do this is that you may potentially need that Estate Agent in the future if there is another property you’re looking to buy and if you’ve ghosted them in the past they may not be that inclined to show you the property as most estate agents will make notes on their system about who ghosts them and who responds with feedback. Just something to think about when you’re on a viewing. Have a great great day Mark

Purchase complete 🙌 After four months in conveyancing (more about this another time!), we have completed the purchase of our next project. This will be a six bed (five en suite, one off suite) high-end HMO and I'm excited to get going! We'll be sharing more of the refurbishment along the way. This project is funded in part with bridging finance alongside our own funds and private investor funds. These investors will receive quarterly interest payments during the project at a rate that works for them. We're also on the lookout for another project so have other investment opportuntities available. If you'd like to find out more about how we work with investors, please reach out so we can arrange a time to talk about your goals. #property #propertyinvestment #hmo #returnoninvestment

UK house prices rose modestly by 0.1% in October. Forecasts suggest 4% growth in 2025, with slower gains in London due to affordability issues. Market activity is rising gradually towards pre-pandemic levels, supported by near-normal mortgage approvals. Key budget changes, such as a stamp duty hike on second properties, could constrain rental supply while residential rental growth, particularly in affordable northern regions, is nearing affordability limits. Regional trends show stronger growth in Scotland, while southern areas, especially London, experience slower gains. Read the full forcast here:

ESTATE AGENTS - Why Aren't You Talking About the Property Market in Your Social Media? Homeowners are obsessed with the value of their properties and what's happening in their neighbourhood. As an estate agent, leveraging local market data in your social media can set you apart. A recent survey by Property Academy /revealed that 3,600 out of 10,000 homeowners chose their estate agent based on the agent's knowledge of the local property market. This underscores the crucial importance of showcasing your local expertise. By discussing the local property market in community Facebook groups, you prove your deep understanding of the area, building trust with potential clients. Share recent sale histories, property value trends, and statistics about local schools and amenities. This data not only showcases your expertise but also builds trust with your audience. House sellers want to know their agent understands the local market intricately. By providing insightful, data driven content, you demonstrate a clear advantage over competitors who rely solely on sales pitches. Your social media should be a hub of valuable information, making you the go-to expert for property insights. Embrace the numbers, show your knowledge, and watch as clients flock to your agency, confident you’re the right choice for their property needs. So, why aren’t you talking about the property market in your social media? If you haven't got time to do all this, maybe we should chat?

Today's topic... "Who's in your network" Being surrounded by high-performing estate agents as a self-employed estate agent is essential for several reasons: 1. Knowledge Sharing and Learning High-performing agents often possess valuable insights, strategies, and market knowledge that you can learn from. Observing their approaches to client relationships, negotiations, and marketing can help you improve your own skills. 2. Networking and Collaboration Successful agents tend to have strong networks, and being part of that circle can give you access to valuable contacts such as potential clients, developers, and investors. Collaboration on deals or referrals becomes easier when working with professionals who share your level of ambition and standards. 3. Motivation and Inspiration Being surrounded by driven individuals can inspire you to push your limits and set higher goals. Their success can motivate you to adopt new practices and maintain focus, especially in a competitive industry like EA. 4. Enhanced Reputation Associating with high-performing agents can elevate your personal and professional brand. Clients are more likely to trust and respect you if you're aligned with a team known for excellence. 5. Constructive Competition Healthy competition with high achievers drives innovation and helps you refine your strategies to stay ahead in the market. 6. Access to Resources and Tools High-performing agents often utilise the best tools, technology, and practices to succeed. Being in their network might grant you insights into these resources. 7. Accountability High performers often set high standards, and their presence can help you stay disciplined and accountable in your business practices. 8. Building Resilience Challenges and successes are part of the journey. Learning how top agents handle setbacks can help you build the resilience needed to thrive in a fluctuating market.

Hello all fellow agents, is anyone finding that mortgage valuation surveyors, when seeing the slightest of cracks, are advising that it is suspected subsidence? It’s leaving a lot of my clients out of pocket and all several properties this has happened to, have been proven to be structurally sound. This makes me rather dubious and concerned for my clients. Thoughts? #estateagent #realestate #mortgages #surveyors

Self Employed Agent Opportunity... Here's an exciting first. Imagine are looking to recruit our first s/e agent. This will be someone who wants to break the ceiling of what negotiators in the area realistically earn. In fact not just break it, but smash it. Our new model will give you that opportunity. The hardest thing in business, is finding new business. It's by far the biggest challenge for people trying most s/e models where you have to hit the Social Media trail to try and secure clients from a ground zero start. Not with us. In our case, we will provide you the business opportunities (valuations) because we have 20 years of trading and market share that already have our phones ringing constantly. You just have to make the most of those opportunities. Your chances of success therefore increase expedentially. To be clear, what we dont want is someone seeking work life balance. Nothing wrong if thats your priority, but its not what we are after. We want someone who is up for building a really succesful financial business that rewards them to a level unachievable in the employed model. You can work as you see fit, its your business, but you will be expected to graft to max the returns. That return we expect to be £85k+with no ceiling. Tempted... Our first 'Associate' will be in Bushey, working with us employed to the end of the year before converting across to s/e in 2025 in line with our best existing staff doing likewise. We expect to have a lot of interest in this offering so be ready to wow us and get in touch early to give yourself the best chance of landing this chance... You obv need to have a good level of experience as an agent and a strong track record of performance.
