Setting the Standard for the Year Ahead
Estate agents don’t lose instructions because they lack skill. They lose them because opportunities are missed early.
Sellers decide quickly. Often before a valuation is even booked.
Was the call answered?
How fast did someone respond?
Did it feel organised?
First impressions win instructions.
The Real Issue: Speed and Structure
Missed calls still cost instructions. Not because agents don’t care, but because:
-
Valuers are on appointments
-
Teams are tied up
-
Enquiries come in after hours
To a seller, none of that matters. If they don’t get through, they call the next agent.
Speed often decides the outcome.
How Agent Response Helps You Win Earlier
Agent Response removes chance from sales enquiries by supporting your team when it matters most.
1. Instant Action on Every Enquiry
When a valuation request comes in, your team receives a phone call prompt to respond immediately. No buried emails. No forgotten follow-ups. Just fast action while interest is high.
2. Out-of-Hours Enquiries Still Progress
When the office is closed, callers can:
-
Book a valuation or viewing
-
Make an offer
-
Request a call back
Momentum isn’t lost just because it’s 7pm.
3. A Consistent First Impression
Every enquiry is acknowledged clearly. Sellers know what happens next. Your agency feels organised and responsive every time.
The Result
With the right process in place, agencies see:
-
More valuation appointments booked
-
Faster follow-up
-
Full visibility of every lead
-
Fewer instructions lost to silence
Strong years aren’t lost in the market. They’re lost between enquiry and response.
The best-performing agents don’t work longer hours. They respond better, from the very first interaction.
