How to Stand out As an Estate Agent in Saturated Market

Most Estate Agents are marketing their services to prospective house sellers who are ACTIVELY LOOKING for an Estate Agency like YOURS


Yet that is the issue, 99% of Estate Agents are also marketing to the same people and that is when the competition gets fierce

And often expensive to win at

Every Estate Agent (in fact every business) knows that people buy from companies that they:

1️⃣ Know
2️⃣ Like
3️⃣ Trust

And if you wait until house sellers are actively searching for an Estate Agent like YOURS to know, like, and finally build trust and affinity with...

It’s pretty often is a race to the bottom

Yet there is another way to attract house sellers

It costs zero ££££

Yet it takes

1️⃣time,
2️⃣ hard work and
3️⃣patience

and only 1% of you reading this have all three (the third one being the killer)

It’s all about you understanding how to get hold of the house seller BEFORE they want to sell their house

And you do that by knowing what triggers people to begin the journey of choosing an estate agent.

Knowing how house sellers think BEFORE they have even said to themselves WHICH ESTATE AGENTS SHOULD WE CALL OUT

and then finally, how they shop for Estate Agents

You can outsmart your competitors and win big

If you want to learn what makes YOUR potential house sellers tick, click, and ultimately buy estate agency services?

Following on - Your potential house seller buying journey (of choosing an estate agent) doesn’t revolve around you as an agent

It starts a long time before they discover your agency services and often includes many other solutions

If you want to get in front of prospective house sellers sooner in the house selling process in less crowded marketing channels... You have to do this 👇

Every listing starts with a CHANGE IN THEIR LIFE event

It is the moment in time a homeowner realises they may need a new solution to their housing needs

Changes in life events could be:

Social (eg. Divorce)
Biological (eg. Getting old and can’t use the stairs)
Emotional (eg. All the friends have a big house so they want one)
Situational (eg. Having children)

Changes in Life events are often distressing or frustrating for the people concerned

It’s a moment when your prospective house seller first becomes aware that they need to make progress in their life in some way...

Yet they probably don’t know the best route forward

So what’s the answer 👇

After the change in life event, house sellers often start by UNCONSCIOUSLY LOOKING for solutions to their issues

They are not ready to instruct an estate agent and they certainly aren’t putting time and effort into looking for estate agency solutions like yours YET...

But they will start to notice stuff that they probably didn’t before.

They start to create a list of potential solutions to their problems

For example, do they see your post on social media linking to your blog or video series?

Before the change in life event they would have probably scrolled right on by your post ... yet this time it catches their 👁

Or perhaps they get a cold email that they would in most cases ignore... yet this time they decide to read and reply.

Getting in front of homeowners who are unconsciously looking for a solution will help you and your agency get noticed sooner

Yet your content needs to be helpful and valuable

Doing so will build trust and make you 1️⃣ on their mental list

Estate Agency in a crowded market is tough so this stuff is REALLY important
