Hot Real Estate Leads vs Cold Data: Revaluate Data Repair
Hot real estate leads are harder to come by these days, and it’s due in part to cold data. It’s not your fault, there never has been a good solution. However, it’s likely that greater than one third of your database is bad. More specifically, you have incorrect email, dated phone numbers, wrong addresses, and all the important details that actually enable you to make contact with someone. Thus, you are missing out on one third of your listings and one third of your commissions. Bad data equals lost income.
How did we get here?
In an average year, around 10% of your database moves, rendering that contact info obsolete. Additionally, sixteen percent of databases are junk. Bart Simpson is not a prospect, neither is someone with profanity in their email address. It’s also going to be pretty hard to sell a home to all the other real estate agents, title reps and mortgage LO’s that are in your database. On top of that, the new leads that you buy each year also frequently lack all four critical components that make up good data: Full Name, Email, Phone and Physical Address.
Without all four critical data components, a contact is incomplete, causing your marketing and sales efforts to be wasted. For example: Without a phone number your automated text campaigns will fall short. Without a physical address, your prospect may now live in another city and your personalized direct mail gets mocked. And without email, well, what is even the point? Despite your best intentions, investments and well thought out campaigns your follow up and strategy waste adds up quickly – especially when you are investing in expensive leads and processes.

The One Big Mistake
There are high producing teams in his industry that I highly respect that make this one big mistake. Just because they can do something, does not mean they ought to do so.
