Building the Perfect Buyer Workflow: How to Streamline Your Real Estate Process for Success

Building the Perfect Buyer Workflow: How to Streamline Your Real Estate Process for Success

September 17, 20242 min read

As realtors, we’ve all been there—managing multiple buyers while trying to keep each process as smooth and efficient as possible. Today, I want to talk about building out the perfect buyer workflow. Now, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, so feel free to adjust these tips to fit your personal style and business needs. Here's how I do it:

  1. Lead Capture Page
    The first thing you need is a lead capture page. Whether it’s Google Forms (my go-to when I was on a budget) or a more advanced tool like Kajabi, Lead Pages, or even your CRM, you need a space where potential clients can register their info. Capture their first name, last name, and email address—that’s the basic trifecta. You can expand later, but start simple.

  2. Book a Consultation
    Once you’ve captured a lead, it’s time to schedule that all-important 15-minute consultation. This is where you determine where they are in the buying process. Are they ready for pre-approval? If so, send them to the lender.

  3. Pre-Approval Funnel
    If they’re pre-approved, you move them into the next stage of your funnel—a pre-approved buyer consultation. Here, you educate them on the market, have them sign a buyer agency agreement, and prepare them for showings.

  4. Drip Campaign for Non-Pre-Approved Buyers
    If they’re not pre-approved, they go into a separate funnel where you stay in touch through a drip campaign. Consistently provide value for the next 1-2 years until they’re ready to buy.

  5. The Closing Path
    Once they’re pre-approved and ready for showings, it’s time to start showing properties, writing offers, and moving through the inspection, appraisal, and closing process.

This is a streamlined buyer workflow that’s helped me succeed in real estate. Customize it, perfect it, and make it work for you!
