Real Estate Agents Lose 75% of Their Clients: Here's How to Retain Them w/ Scott Langmack

As real estate agents, we work hard to win leads and listings…but we lose 75% of them before they buy or sell again. That's because most clients pick a new agent in their next transaction. Since the original agent doesn't reach out to them or stay in front of them, they might not even remember their name.  All of this is unavoidable.  Since it costs 10 times more to get a new client than to keep our current customers, our marketing dollars should be spent on the latter.  Staying top of mind with clients is as simple as providing frequent value over their entire homeownership journey.  How do we retain future transactions years in advance? In this episode, I'm joined by the COO of Kukun, Scott Langmack. He shares how their platform helps agents stay in touch and in front of past clients.  You should be spending your very first marketing dollar on keeping your current clients. -Scott Langmack   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Why agents lose most of their clientsMost real estate agents will walk with the seller until the transaction ends.
