- 91% of agents never contact clients after closing, yet 88% of those clients say they'd use the same agent again — the drop-off is almost entirely a follow-up failure.
- Fewer than 15% of past clients actually return or refer, despite intending to, because agents lose touch during the gap between transactions.
- Texting is the dominant channel (94% of Realtors use it), followed by phone (91%) and email (89%), but this is mostly during active deals — not post-closing nurture.
- 41% of an agent's business comes from repeat and referral clients (20% repeat, 21% referral), and that share climbs past 50% for agents with 16+ years of experience.
- 48% of salespeople never follow up even once, and 44% quit after a single "no" — yet data shows conversions spike after 5–8 touches.

Relationships That Turn Into Revenue
- Relationships convert better than billboards
- More than half of transactions start with familiarity or referral

The Agent They Remember Gets the Call
- Maintain regular touchpoints with your audience
- Out of sight means replaced
- Be the first agent that comes to mind
