Source: SUPERCASA Author: Redaction The real estate market is made up of strategies , both in terms of raising property , when trying to convince an owner to let you, the real estate agent, sell him the house, or in the actual sale, where a game of seduction with the potential client and the property you are selling is necessary, making it as appealing as possible for the effectiveness of the business. For these steps, it is necessary to make a good impression, as this is who dictates the outcome of the interaction and the detail behind the final decision of who is choosing their services. Finding the right facet, for each type of client, is the biggest challenge for real estate agents, who daily and weekly deal with hundreds of different people, with different personalities, and who do not correspond to the same stimuli, and therefore, you need to have trump cards up your sleeve. We invite you to discover the magic behind the visit to a property , if it is your first time as a real estate agent, or if you have not yet defined your closing strategies. Discover how you can transform your approach and learn the secrets that will completely change the way you conduct your visits . Is there magic in real estate? Let’s say it is The magic in real estate is one of the best kept secrets, especially by the oldest and experienced professionals who know all the strategies of conquest of a potential client. Principles of illusion, history, strategic use of visual elements and articulation of speech, necessary to cause the effect of persuasion, are applied . Selective attention is one of the fundamentals of this strategy, applied both in magic tricks and in visits with potential clients to real estate, and consisting in directing the attention of the public - or in this case, of your potential customer - away from certain aspects of a trick. Replaced by other words: make your prospective buyer only focus on the most attractive details of the property you are trying to sell, minimizing possible unpleasantness or disinterest. So, remember: on your next visit to a property, in which you take a potential demanding buyer or with whom you are trying to finalize the sale, highlight the most interesting points of the house and make him fall in love with the details. But we leave you other tips that you can implement! 1. Make good expectations management In real estate it is easy for a client to feel fascinated with a property and, at the moment immediately after having visited it, no longer feel the same interest. It is essential to make a realistic management of expectations, not raising them much until the face-to-face visit, but strongly highlight the positive points of the property when he visits in person. In addition, a magician can create expectations and break them in a surprising way , and a real estate broker has the same power. How? Imagine that you are showing several properties to your client, all within the same price range. Try taking it to a completely different property, which totally exceeds your expectations. Even if it is a higher price, your potential customer can be open to buying it if they really like it . Thus, make an intelligent mediation of the options you have at your disposal, playing with timings and opportunities available. 2. Illusion of control A customer who is with you, looking for a home, may find that you are in control of the situation, however, since it is you who holds all the knowledge of the market, you can create an illusion around this power game, predeterming the outcome of the options you present to your client. You just have to guide him in the best direction, both for your needs and for the benefits that this business can bring you. 3. Tell an appealing story Stories are an essential element in the impression you give your client when you show them a home , especially if there are hesitations or doubts in it. Through a good story, you will have the power to change your client’s opinion about a property, highlighting its unique points and the lifestyle that that house can offer you, creating, in addition to the wow factor, a connection with your client. 4. Scarcity makes the difference A good magician knows that a trick will always seem more interesting if it is interpreted as a unique or exclusive opportunity, and a real estate broker can adopt the same principle, leading his client to properties that are presented to him as unique opportunities, or close to being acquired by other buyers, thus increasing the appeal to that house and creating the desire to purchase something that seems irresistible. 5. Light and colour are key strategies You may think it makes no difference, but a good visual illusion can create wonders when a potential buyer visits a house he has just met. Well applied, the light and color used in the house can change a person’s perception of space, directing their attention to more appealing details or that create impact. So make the property look spacious, bright, play with the aesthetics of the furniture and use strategic lighting . Your potential buyer will look at the space in a different way than they would without all these gadgets. 6. Surprise elements that you can use to your advantage Unexpected twists are aspects that always create much success in the best magic tricks, by the surprise factor they entail. In real estate, the same thing happens. Imagine hiding an incredible detail from your potential buyer by telling him about a property that can match your wishes and, on the day of the visit, surprise you with this unique feature. This interaction can completely change the outcome of the visit. Use this type of surprise elements to create impact on visits and make your client feel enthusiastic about the property, creating desire and temptation in the purchase. A good follow-up is a key point For all of these magic tricks to work, it’s critical that you make a commitment to follow your client closely . For this, you should not only know it, but make a good organization of your requests to visit, not to confuse information, and keep a record of the interactions that are made . You can do this monitoring through the CRM eGO Real Estate , not only through tools such as the Sales Funnel , which allows you to follow the stages of your relationship with the customer or potential customer, but also the management of opportunities , history of interactions and proposals exchanged. Make the magic happen!
Source: Freepik Author: Redaction The IMT exemption was one of the measures of the new Government’s housing strategy, approved to alleviate the tax burden felt when buying a house, particularly for young people up to 35 years of age who wish to purchase their first home. According to the Government, this exemption from the IMT will also be accompanied by the exemption from Stamp Duty, and will allow you to save up to € 13,700 on housing that costs € 300,000. The law, launched for approval to Parliament, establishes three conditions that allow the maintenance of the tax exemption to young people , although the Government requires that, to maintain the benefit, young people will have to keep the house as their own permanent dwelling for a period of six years, except in the situation of sale, change of household or divorce, or in the case of a change of workplace. These three conditions allow, thus, the maintenance of the benefit, within six years after the purchase of the house, contemplating a different destination to the assumption in the purchase, and that justified the exemption from IMT tax. However, when the goods are given a different destination than the one on which the benefit was based, within six years from the date of acquisition, except in the case of sale , the owners lose the exemption and reduction of the IMT fees. With regard to changes in the household, the Government indicates that by reason of marriage or de facto union, dissolution of marriage or de facto union or increase of dependents i t will be possible to maintain the exemption, but also due to change of the workplace to a distance of more than 100 km from the building , provided that, in both cases, the building remains exclusively intended for housing. As for the municipalities and the reduction of the expenditure arising from the collection of the tax, the Government contemplated, in its proposal, the creation of a compensation mechanism so that no municipality is harmed .

Source: Freepik Author: Redaction The term sales funnel is widely used in marketing, but it is increasingly adopted for the real estate sector. It is as if it were a representation of your potential client and the path that he goes from hearing about your real estate agency to wanting some of the services you have to offer. The sales funnel is divided into 3 phases: top, middle and bottom. At the top, the potential customer was interested and visited your website, social networks, or even in person. In the middle, the potential client begins to realize that he needs help and that his agency has the solution he is looking for (buying a house, for example). At the bottom of the funnel, the potential customer was convinced that their agency actually has the solution for what they need and is ready to move forward and start business with you. 1. Top of the funnel The ideal at this stage is to deliver informative content that adds value, arousing interest to the potential customer. A good example is ebooks , which can be practical or step-by-step guides to help potential customers find a home, for example. If you prefer to get to the point and present the information in a short and objective way, you can use infographics interspersed with the text, to exemplify and use in a comparison perspective . You can also opt for questions (quizz) to know a little more about your potential customer and the topics he already dominates. 2. Middle of the funnel For those who are already at this stage, it may be useful to receive a Checklist with important points about some important step and with many steps to follow (for example, a list of the essential points of buying the property). A good alternative is to offer a template ready to fill , which also works very well and turns out to be interactive content. An excel file can be a good example. If justified, you can offer some tools, such as a simulator or a calculator. It gives a little more work to elaborate, but if it suits the potential customer, it can help him solve the problem he presents. 3. Bottom of the funnel At this stage, the prospective client is more convinced that they have the solution to their problem, and so it may be appropriate to present a case study of a practical example that addresses how their agency has solved the situation. Webinars or live classes are also a great way to show how you solved the problem and how the process unfolded. Still in this perspective, doing consultancies of 30 minutes can also show value and help the potential client to get to what you want. Last but not least, social proof with customer testimonials is always a great indicator that helps convert this potential customer into a future customer. Did you find these tips helpful?

Source: Freepik Author: Redaction Who lives in buildings or real estate with spaces common to other residents, certainly has already been summoned to a meeting of condominium, also known as assembly of tenants , meetings in the management and decision making of the housing building in question . In this type of meeting, residents meet and discuss different matters, with votes to decide changes of common interest, from the approval of bills and budgets to works and remodeling. The main role of these meetings is to maintain the zeal of the building , with, as a rule, the election of the condominium administrator , who is responsible for certain aspects of building management. If you live in a property that is part of a condominium, know how these assemblies work, what they deal with, what may or may not be decided and what is their importance for the well-being of residents. What does the legislation say? Article 1431 of Decree-Law 47344 of the Diário da República stipulates the periodicity of the joint-owners meetings, which must be in the first fortnight of January, after the convocation of the administrator. At this meeting, the accounts for the last year should be discussed and approved , as well as the expenditure budget for the current year. However, there may be other meetings whenever there is a call by the administrator, or by joint owners who represent at least 25% of the capital invested. In Portugal, the law defines that each condominium can have its own internal regulation, in addition to the general legislation, which defines specific standards for the building. To convene a meeting, the administrator must do so at least 15 days in advance , as any joint owner representing 25% of the total value of the building. In all meetings, the owners of the autonomous units of the building reserve the right to participate and may assign their representation to an agent, however, with regard to the administrator, their presence is mandatory, unless expressly dismissed by the building assembly. The administrator is also responsible for presenting the agenda of each meeting , according to what is stipulated in the rules of procedure or legislation, and last-minute meetings may be called in case of urgency. How do these meetings work? Chaired by the administrator or a joint-owner elected for this purpose, the meetings shall operate with a record , which shall be drawn up by the designated person, who may be one of the joint-owners, elected on the day of the meeting. It is important to mention that, if there is no administrator yet, the first meeting can be convened by any of the residents of the building, provided that it serves to elect a representative administrator who, from that date, is in charge of assuming the stipulated functions. All decisions that are made throughout the assemblies must be decided by vote, with each fraction of the building exercising a vote proportional to its total value. However, in certain situations, the law requires a qualified majority, particularly for the approval of large works. For residents, what are the advantages of condominium meetings? These assemblies of tenants play a key role in the good management of the building, as well as promoting cohesion among residents , who get to know and share visions and suggestions about the building where they live. But there are some advantages that are important to highlight: 1. Transparency and democracy Through these meetings, it becomes possible for residents to stay informed about the management of the condominium where they live and participate in the decisions that affect their daily lives , taking part in the decisions that are made. 2. Settlement of conflicts As in all communities, conflicts can arise that, for the well-being of all, must be resolved, and condominium meetings serve for this very purpose, presenting themselves as a space open to dialogue and problem solving among residents. 3. Improving the quality of life Only through discussion can major decisions be made and, as regards the administration of a condominium, the same applies, especially decisions that can contribute to improving the quality of life of residents. Decisions are made such as carrying out conservation and maintenance works, implementing safety measures or even promoting sustainability in the building. The condominium meetings are thus essential for the proper functioning of a housing building, through the active participation of all residents. If you live in a condominium, ensure your participation in these assemblies, promote transparent and democratic management and call for conflict resolution and improved quality of life for all!

Connection with the client As we told you above, an email is a way to connect with the customer or potential customer . Someone who has never heard of your company, but who is even looking for the services it offers, will certainly find your communication curious, seeking to know more about the subject, and if the email is appealing, succinct and right to the point, better results will get. When customizing an email, it shows your recipient that you’ve invested time in that care, detail in tracking and attention to good service. It’s these things that grow businesses and increase brand awareness, and yours can be one of those cases. More potential customer clicks and openings If you have a good database , full of contacts that you know are your target audience, do not hesitate to communicate with them through good personalized emails. You can even create a weekly or monthly newsletter, with property listings, informative content or other topics of interest, to generate more clicks and opens of these emails , by potential customers or people who follow your work. A good email will catch the attention of the most clinical eye, generating visibility, clicks, interactions, traffic to your website and a better positioning for your brand that, in the long term, will close more sales and business. A higher customer retention rate If your customers feel listened to, accompanied and interested in what you have to say or show them, they will return to get your services or recommend them to others. This is a strategy that works great for retaining customers by keeping them anchored to your brand through emails that provide interesting information. One of the strategies you can adopt to increase your retention rate is by creating newsletters and, if you have a real estate blog on your site, adding the useful to the pleasant and sending, weekly or monthly, an email newsletter to get return and retention. Make your shipments an efficient process It will certainly be easy to send a dozen emails by hand if your database is small, however, if we are talking about a list of contacts with more than a certain number of people, sending so much content at once can be time consuming and impractical . So we show you how to optimize. 1. Understand what your audience is Is your database divided, for example, between buyers and owners? Therefore, you will have to divide these two segmentations well, making sure that you do not make the mistake of sending to one the communication that should be destined to the other. To help you in this segmentation, platforms like CRM eGO Real Estate allow, through advanced searches, search by customer types, geographical location, nationality, among several other filters, facilitating the sorting of shipments. You can select the filters you want, in order to divide the list of contacts to whom you want to send emails, and be sure that you are doing a good marketing strategy by pointing certain content to certain people. This segmentation will make your submissions more effective and profitable as it will have a higher success and conversion rate. 2. Automate your campaigns Creating relevant messages for each segmentation is one of the crucial parts of the success of a good email, however, it will hardly be profitable if they have to be sent manually, as you will be losing resources and time. Automating campaigns is essential to be as efficient as possible, especially in a market that is so fast in its movements. Experience the eGO Real Estate and its digital marketing functionality, which allows you to automate the sending of personalized emails for large segmentations, namely newsletters, mailshots, and even SMS. But in addition to this submission, which you can do in the Campaigns module of the ego Real Estate, it is also possible to create Landing Pages and get the information of the clicks, views and leads generated. 3. Customize the subject of the email to create impact Whatever type of email it is, you should always customize the subject in order to create an impact on the recipient. A creative subject, which raises curiosity, will generate more open rates of this email, thus allowing a higher success rate. Use your imagination and create unique, interactive content with mention to your services, leaving the email as complete as possible with regard to the information available, but without being too intense or long. Also insert your contacts and links to your social networks and website, to create traffic and benefit your digital platforms.
