Past clients are neglected, resulting in fewer referrals and repeat business. Real Estate CRM Mastery shows how to turn your CRM into a command center.

Sample ChapterMastery Insights
How can I stay top of mind with past clients after closing?
Real Estate CRM Mastery explains how to systematize your follow-up with touch cycles and automated reminders. By leveraging these features in your CRM, you ensure that no past client is neglected, leading to more referrals and repeat business over the long term.
How do I capture business from prospects who aren't ready to buy yet?
Most agents do not consistently follow up with prospects who require a lengthy incubation period. In this book, you will learn how to use follow-up text messages, phone calls, postcards, printed letters, drip sequences, and task plans to automate this process. This approach lets you stay in front of future clients with minimal daily effort until they are ready to work with you. Through automation, you can systematize this follow-up to make it straightforward and foolproof.
How can I track who needs attention each day without relying on my memory?
A central theme of the book is turning your CRM into a command center. You'll learn to use a daily call list and schedule so that you know exactly who to call and what needs to be done, freeing up your mental energy for active sales.
How can a CRM help me prepare my business for an assistant or partner?
Systematizing your business is the first step toward scaling. By documenting your workflows in a CRM, you make it easy to delegate tasks, track progress, and share responsibility with a partner or assistant without losing control of the process.
Your book talks about the benefits of Christmas cards for maintaining contact with people in my sphere of influence. Should I keep my personal life separate from my business life?
There are benefits to bringing past clients and business associates into your personal life as friends. One way to demonstrate this friendship is to exchange Christmas cards. A relationship based on friendship is more enduring and easier to maintain over the long run than a purely business one. If you help someone purchase their first home, it would be natural for them to turn to you when it comes time to sell. This might be years later, but by maintaining a friendship, you can keep the relationship more easily than you might otherwise if it were purely business.
I am a real estate agent, and I need leads fast. What do you recommend?
Three common sources of leads are purchasing leads, open houses, and working your existing sphere of influence.
The main way to load purchased leads into your CRM is via an email feed, which converts notification emails into records in your CRM's database. A second way to load leads is via valet import, which allows a spreadsheet of many leads to be loaded at once. You should verify that your CRM can handle both kinds of leads.
Open house leads are active buyers interested in homes in your area. You can use the open house form built into your CRM to bring those leads automatically into your CRM for follow-up.
Lastly, you can maintain regular contact with your existing sphere of influence, namely, the contacts in your database. These include friends, family, past clients, associates, and perhaps even old leads from last season. Your CRM can help you merge duplicates and consolidate leads from your smartphone, email programs, and any other location where you currently have them. Most agents have leads in many places, so the ability to merge and clean them up is quite useful. Next, start calling these people just to say hi. Take notes and update the last contact date. You should call people you haven’t spoken to recently. If you make a few calls each week, you will eventually reach the end of your list. You can sort your contacts by last contact date so that the people you speak with will automatically move to the bottom of the list after your call. You never know, someone you already know might need your services as a real estate agent!
I am a real estate agent, and I'm worried about legal liability and want to protect myself. What do you recommend?
Agents are required to carry Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O). You should also document your interactions with clients and vendors involved in your transactions via email and in your CRM. This documentation may prove valuable if a dispute arises over one of your transactions. Staying organized with technology is one of the smartest ways to protect yourself from legal liability.
