Q. What are some ideas around having a buyer management plan? – Patrick Byron, Ray White Botany Green Square

The top achievers in this industry work their buyers to generate leads. With all buyers in the marketplace, consider creating a buyer management plan. The plan should be about how I can give the buyers an experience that ultimately they will never forget because the buyer you service today will be a seller someday.

The most effective way to service the buyer is to come from a place of โ€˜Helpโ€™ rather than โ€˜Sellโ€™. Look to add value more than any other agent using โ€˜value hooksโ€™.

One idea could be providing a Comparative Market Analysis of the last six months of sales in the suburb where they are looking to buy โ€“ a Due Diligence Report. You can create a Due Diligence Report through CoreLogic just like creating a comparative market analysis. We generally focus on sales where they live, but if we change our focus and educate them on sales where they want to buy we can create a foundation that adds rapport, connection and trust.

Another value hook is to take a video on your smartphone of the property at the photoshoot, showing the features and benefits that match your hot buyersโ€™ criteria. Then email your hot buyer list personally with some commentary on your video to invite them as a VIP buyer to a preview; this is what we call high tech and high touch.
