This document provides tips for real estate agents to effectively market to and communicate with today's tech-savvy home buyers. It emphasizes that agents should (1) respond to leads within 5 minutes, as buyers are still considering their options, (2) use technology like texting and video to connect with buyers how they prefer, while still prioritizing in-person meetings, and (3) provide added value through buyer consultations and expertise rather than just sending automated listings. Agents should personalize outreach, set appointments promptly, and stop relying solely on auto-generated messages. Including video and quick response times can help agents stand out.
