Rebecca, I hear you, what a concept huh? Now how many sites do you know of that do not display the phone number prominently on every page? Too many to count.

I have been to a great many real estate agent websites where the only method of contact is a form box for the consumer. If I were in need of real estate assistance immediately, I would go to a site that would display more immediate contact information, in the form of, say, a phone number.

I’ve found that the best lead generation comes directly from the users web site. If a buyer is visiting an agent, builder or mortgage companies, (etc.) web site, good chance they may be interested in doing business with that particular person or company.

Today’s Real-estate Professionals are missing the boat if they don’t attempt to capture the 70-80% of the buyers surfing their web sites before ever making contact. The day of the old school PDF wish list isn’t a lead generator, online lead generating wish lists have taken their place.

Plus, the buyer deserves to receive a copy of their wish list back if that is the form of the generator for the agent. So many lead generating programs these days only take and never return to the buyer whom completes a lead.

IMHO, if the generator is only a “taker” and not a “giver” it’s not a customer service but only a (as Michael put it in great terms) a “Daffy Duck Lead Generator.” Give and you will receive!

One final thought, get “your” name and logo on the lead generator so it’s in front of the buyers eyes. With buyer’s starting their search some times a year in advance you need staying power. When the buyer does review the wish list 6 months or a year down the road, you will want them to only see “Your Realty.”
