I leave a listing book with all the info I had in it for the house while it was for sale. But I add in all the warranty stuff and manuals that the homeowners had. I then add my card. That is step one in my adopt a buyer program.

I’ve heard these called orphaned clients. We all know that you have to find clients anywhere you can and frankly if the selling agent doesn’t care to follow up on past clients ( and probably 75% or more don’t ) there is nothing wrong with the listing agent doing so as long as the former client doesn’t object. As far as the agent goes, once the closing takes place, they are no longer clients.

Thanks Elizabeth. Turns out, it’s the little things that others don’t do, do them consistently, over time, they add up to a BIG difference. Sounds to me like you’re ON IT. Cheers.

Ken, I think this is brilliant. I have really been keeping a close eye on tracking listings of one agent in particular. What I have found is that she was the original listing agent. Years later, her name is appearing again as the sellers list with her, NOT their buyers agent. It struck me then that she must have this idea in play. Genius if you ask me, and so simple to do! I am starting this practice tomorrow and will play catch up with past buyers Great info you just shared!

I don’t know about genius, but I’m with you, it’s pretty dead-bang simple and obvious to me too. Thanks for your comments NG. Cheers.

Sheer genius. It’s not stealing if no one else is in the picture. I call it my charitably adopt a buyer program.

I think that’s smart and helpful Missy. I also think that a more fruitful relationship can be nurtured by consistent contact. And there’s nothing more memorable that a personal visit. The keys to Top Of Mind Awareness is Relevance, Remarkability and Repetition.
