","Lead nurturing is an exercise in patience. Most research shows that converting a lead requires at minimum 5 “touches.” Considering the nature of real estate —the fact that transactions are quite rare for the average person— it stands to reason that moving from lead to sale can take considerably longer. It all depends on the lead’s situation when initial contact occurs.","Past customers are our best source of referrals as well, so staying in touch after the sale is just as important.
