How to Build Relationships in the Age of Social Distancing w/Anne Miller

Real estate has always been a relationship-based industry, so agents need to find ways to keep communicating with their spheres in the age of social distancing.  Is it even possible to build relationships with prospects and clients during social distancing? How can you build genuine bonds with people during this time? The world may have come to a standstill recently, but you’re lucky to live in an age where technology allows us to stay in touch virtually. On this episode that was recorded as part of my recently launched Luxury Lunch & Learn, Vice President of Luxury and Commercial at RE/MAX Holdings, Anne Miller shares how to survive and adapt to the new normal in the luxury real estate space.   As agents and entrepreneurs, your past clients have to hear from you now. Reach out to them. Don’t talk business, check in with them authentically and sincerely. -Michael LaFido   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   Adopt an abundance mindset Now more than ever before, it’s important for agents to help each other. Instead of having a scarcity mindset and not wanting to share business, now is the time to build relationships with agents in other teams and across the country. We are stronger when we work together. Check in with clients It’s always important to stay in contact with past clients, but even more so while so many people are worried about the future. Reach out to clients to see how they are; once COVID-19 has passed, you will be remembered for that. However, be sure to do this genuinely; any insincerity will have the opposite effect. Be visible on video A lot of agents are nervous to appear on video, which makes the Zoom option of turning off the camera an attractive idea. However, to build relationships, we have to be visible. Clients are more trusting when they know who they’re speaking to, especially in the luxury space.   Guest Bio Anne Miller is the Vice President of Luxury and Commercial at RE/MAX.
