If they liked the way you handled their last transaction, send them a message saying “I hope we get the chance to work together again soon!” This will help increase their interest in working with you again and give them an incentive to contact you when they are ready to move forward with another transaction.

You can also target messages at clients who have recently viewed listings on your website or missed out on one of your last few open houses by asking them if there is anything else we can do for them today!

2. Reach out to people who have viewed your listings and didn’t buy from you

If someone has viewed one of your listings and didn’t buy it from you, use custom audiences to reach out to them. This way, they’ll know that other properties are available if they are still interested in buying real estate from you!

3. Reach out to prospects who haven’t engaged yet

If someone hasn’t contacted you yet about buying or selling a home but is interested in learning more about you, use the Custom Audiences feature to reach them.
