Guest: Heather Dolin, Real Estate Agent

Host: Joe Galindo

Introduction:

Joe introduces Heather Dolin, a top-producing real estate agent with over 15 years of experience. Heather shares insights on building long-lasting client relationships and driving referral business.

Staying in Consistent Touch with Clients:

  • Heather emphasizes the importance of staying top of mind with clients, especially past ones who could provide referrals.
  • She sends handwritten notes to check in and show she cares. Notes showcase her personal touch.
  • A printed newsletter goes out quarterly to update clients on her latest listings and market trends.
  • Small gifts are mailed to top clients, things like cookies, gift cards, and coffee mugs with her branding.
  • Heather also calls clients directly to touch base. Having genuine conversations nurtures relationships.
  • All efforts lead to more referrals as clients remember Heather and think of her first when friends need an agent.

    • Creating Her Newsletter:

    • Heather writes and designs the newsletter herself rather than outsourcing it.
    • She enjoys the creative process and sharing her authentic message.
    • The newsletter is written on airplanes as Heather returns from vacations. This downtime sparks inspiration.
    • Content includes listings she's excited about, local community news, market updates, and her family life.
    • The goal is providing value, not overtly promotional material. This establishes trust.

      • Gifts for Top 25 Clients:

      • Heather identifies her top 25 clients who've generated the most business.
      • These VIPs receive special quarterly gifts as a thank you for their loyalty and referrals.
      • Gifts are thoughtful items Heather herself enjoys receiving. This ensures they will delight clients.
      • Examples include baked goods, gift cards to nice restaurants, and high-end chocolates.
      • Her annual pie giveaway with homemade baked pies is always a huge hit.
      • Gift-giving strengthens relationships and keeps Heather top of mind.

        • Setting Client Expectations:

        • Heather provides detailed buyer and seller guides to set expectations upfront.
        • The guides outline every step of the process so clients know what to expect.
        • This transparency and guidance builds trust in Heather's service.
        • Heather credits trust as the #1 reason clients choose her to represent them.
