I've seen countless agents chase after lead numbers without understanding what really matters.
You know what's wild?
Real estate internet lead conversion rates sit between 2% and 2.5%.
That might sound discouraging, but here's what I've learned from working with thousands of agents: those numbers tell a story about both opportunity and waste.
Most of those "leads" are just window shoppers, not serious buyers or sellers.
And that's exactly what we need to fix in our industry.
However, there's a crucial insight about buyer leads that changes this perspective: nearly half of all buyer leads also have homes to sell.
This means that focusing on buyer leads can be an efficient path to generating seller leads as well.
