No matter where you are or what you are doing, everyone around you is texting—constantly. Texting has become the most widely and commonly used feature on phones and has become a crucial part of business, especially in the real estate industry.
In fact, by choosing to text with a prospect, you are 40 percent more likely to convert them into a client. Let's look at the depths of texting for the 21st century real estate agent.
Texting is a quick and simple way to communicate with someone because they are brief and to the point. When you are contacting a prospect, texting is a good way to force yourself to keep the message concise. If you are setting up a time to meet to discuss a new property, you can talk about the details in person rather than spilling them out in a lengthy email.
Just text where and when you're going to meet and, bam! – you have a meeting planned. Texting saves time and helps you stay focused on the message at hand. Texting guarantees that your prospect will get your message and there is a higher response rate because text messages are generally read within three minutes of receipt.
