According to the National Association of Realtors, 81% of buyers said listing photos were the absolute best feature in their online home search.

<p >Real estate leads are not responding to your messages because right now, there is someone looking at their phone who has ignored your last six texts. They did not block you.

Episode 979: How to Get a Referral a Day From Your Past Clients
<p >Getting real estate clients is universally exhausting when agents literally ghost the buyers who already paid them. Back in 2003, I spent 11 years acting like a total amateur, completely ditching my past clients while trying to grow a real estate business.
