The Top 5 Ways AI Has Helped to Generate Real Estate Leads
The Top 5 Ways AI Has Helped to Generate Real Estate Leads
Here are the top five ways AI is helping generate real estate leads:
Predictive Analytics
AI tools are the most efficient in analyzing data based on factors like demographics, online behaviour, and past transactions to predict individuals who are more likely to transact immediately. Predictive Analysis uses historical and transactional data of the customers to make informed decisions.
AI can identify high-quality leads and help channel partners to focus on them for faster conversions.
Chatbots
Another challenge with physical contact is the numerous initial engagements with first-time website visitors and social media users, trying hard to convert them into potential buyers by confidently and convincingly responding to their every query. A lot of potential conversions are missed due to human error and negligence. AI chatbots are efficient in responding, sharing, and collating data with initial responders, and they are efficient in assessing and passing qualifying leads to channel partners for further follow-up.
Personalized Marketing
Personalization in communications is the key factor, and the right message can ideally convert a lead into a buyer. AI tools can collate and analyze customer data, and based on the preferences and behavior of potential buyers, it can tailor marketing campaigns that resonate with them.
Personalized communications across key social media platforms and emails can increase the likelihood of more generating leads, and convert the existing ones into buyers.
Prioritizing Leads
Assessing buying probability based on data points like past online and transactional behaviour is beyond normal human capabilities. On the other hand, AI tools process such data at a higher speed and assign a score to each lead indicating their likelihood of conversion.
By prioritizing leads with higher scores, channel partners can focus their attention on such potential buyers.
Automated Follow-Ups
AI can automate and streamline processes that would otherwise require continuous human intervention for seamless follow-up. AI tools can communicate with leads, and send personalized messages at periodic intervals to keep the leads informed and engaged on the various developments and schemes related to the property. Continuous communications can help nurture leads through the sales funnel until they are ready to make a decision.
The role of AI in generating qualifying leads has been one of the biggest differentiators for channel partners. As technology progresses, improved AI tools will help to further streamline the entire home-buying journey through a more data-driven approach. In the near future, salespeople will be equipped with AI tools that can provide real-time information, insights, and recommendations making them more effective and helping them to close leads faster.
