• First client auto-prospecting letter is considered if a client is continuing to view properties (as verified by their web activity from the client profile), but the client is not responding to initial emails from the agent.
• Second auto-prospecting letter is sent if the client is unresponsive to agent communications, but continues to conduct property searches.
• Auto-prospecting is done through the use of the MLS system and does not continue indefinitely. Each MLS system has different autoprospecting procedures. Please reference this functionality on your local
MLS for procedures on how to set up and suspend auto-prospecting.
• Careful attention should be paid to obtaining the clients property needs, web browsing history, and preferences in general.
• Sending property data sheets automatically to clients will not convert a lead into a transaction because auto-prospecting is one tool amongst others.
• All direct communications should be personalized and provide valueadded to the potential client.

• A lead is converted to a client once you have qualified, and/or an agreement has been signed by, the lead.
• The intranet profile on this client should be modified and the client should be placed in “Active” status as a buyer or seller group. This ensures proper management of the client experience.

• Buyer/Seller groups in the intranet need to be managed actively, removing inactives, etc.
• Once converted, client communications are typically physical and verbal, however, all electronic communications and documents are saved in a specific client file on your hard drive and all actions are documented in the “Contact Notes” section of the
Leadstreet intranet.
• Ongoing Buffini handwritten cards as well as monthly items of value are sent to chosen groups.
• Ongoing virtual items of value, events, and updates in the market are communicated to those leads who are connected to the Agent on social networking sites.

Subject: Your current property search [Enter First Name]
Dear Mrs. Jones,
I hope all is well. Please let me know if you would like additional information regarding the properties in South Bend. I can send you the detailed data sheets on each property.
Regarding your property search, I can add you to my automatic new home matching system which will notify you via email of any new listings/price reductions, etc. This is a great way to search for properties, and it eliminates us from missing a great property.
To enroll in this option, please reply with your desired home features (price range, number of bedrooms, etc.)
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Paul Kiger

Feel free to call me to discuss this service or just email me your criteria so I can set you up in my system. Please specify the county/towns/size/bedrooms/baths/size of lot/price range/, etc.

Dear Mrs. Jones,

Subject: Are you considering the sale of your home?
Are you considering the sale of your home? If so, you may be overwhelmed with terms like:
• Comparative Market Analysis
• Fair Market Value
• Asking Price
• “Curb Appeal”
• Home Protection Plans
• Multiple Listing Service
• Escrow
A licensed real estate professional can help translate the complex world of real estate for you. After all, selling your home isn’t as simple as mere supply and demand. A good real estate agent understands market trends and knows how to use the most up-to-date technology to sell your home.
I’ll do more than stick a “For Sale” sign on your lawn. I’ll meet with you to learn your expectations, needs, and priorities. I’ll help you form a pricing strategy based on the latest information. Most importantly, I’ll develop and implement a dynamic marketing strategy tailored to you and your home. I’ll be there to help you every step of the way, from consultation through closing and beyond.
I’d love to have the chance to answer any questions you may have about the selling process. It can be a confusing road. I’m here to help.
Sincerely,
Paul Kiger
