New Feature: Introducing Oppy's Intelligent Automated Follow-up
Dec 9, 2024
In the fast-paced world of real estate, timing isn't just everything—it's the only thing. Studies show that 78% of sales go to the first agent who responds to a lead, yet an astounding 48% of leads never receive any follow-up after initial contact. Today, we're excited to announce a game-changing feature that ensures you never leave opportunity on the table: Oppy's Intelligent Automated Follow-up.
Why Consistent Follow-up Matters
The numbers tell a compelling story. According to the National Association of REALTORS, only 2% of sales occur on first contact, while 80% of sales happen between the fifth and twelfth contact. Despite this, most agents give up after just two attempts. Here's what makes persistent follow-up crucial:
Research shows that leads contacted within five minutes are 100 times more likely to convert than those contacted in 30 minutes. Moreover, consistent follow-up can increase conversion rates by up to 50% compared to single-touch approaches. In the real estate industry specifically, buyers take an average of 12 weeks to make a purchase decision, making sustained engagement essential.
