Interaction is at the center of the real estate industry. The real estate developers always emphasize the importance of keeping personal relations and live interaction while dealing with clients. They should convey the fact that you genuinely value them and always ready to help them.
Relationship management is not just a way of keeping in touch, but doing it in a smart way. Real estate dealing takes more time to get over than other dealings. Hence, it is all the more important for construction companies to keep all communication channels alive.
Why is there so much gung-ho about interaction?
Well, as the cliché goes, “Out of sight is out of mind”; we tend to forget those who are not in touch. It is more relevant for professional relations than personal ones. As a matter of the fact, we should not forget a single client whether there is an active business relationship or not. A purchase or buying of the property is one of the most pleasant and life changing experience for most of the clients. Unfortunately, lack of interaction has kept it from becoming one. At times, business pressures and operational issues engross builders and developers so excessively in daily chores that it is not possible for them to keep the communication channels alive. Experts say that in a business like real estate where an opportunity missed is an opportunity lost, it is not a wise thing to miss the liveliness of relations. Certainly you must keep the hunt on for exploring new clients and business associates, at the same time do not forget the old ones.
When we say managing interaction is like nurturing relationship in the real estate market, it is important at every stage starting from lead generation to signing off sale deed. Real estate developers now have the opportunity to remove these common obstructions to communication; new tools and technology empower them to take their businesses and the consumer experience into their own hands.
What can you do to make it possible?
The answer is simple, by adopting new-age automated systems. Imagine a system where a trivial complaint of the client regarding the flaws in construction or paper work can be recorded and at the same time, transferred for solution to the relevant people. The technological advancements like modern CRMs allow the interaction cycle to work with that pace and efficiency. Make the interaction system-driven because it is easy. Today’s business and tech-savvy consumers demand more communication. They want transparency into their own transaction, and their use of technology in every other aspect of their lives tells them that quick interactions are possible.
