If you’re like most real estate agents, you want your clients to use you again. After all, repeat business is the key to a successful career!
So, how can you encourage your clients to come back to you when they’re ready to buy or sell again? How can you stay "top of mind" so they recommend you to their friends and family?
One way that we are positioning effective repeat clients here at ERA Grizzard Real Estate is set to be a game-changer.
Our solution is simple. With our Elite Membership Services program, you can be sure to stay in front of your past clients. Let’s take a closer look at how it works.
At closing, your clients are automatically eligible for our Elite Membership Services program. You will give them a card with your name and contact information on the back.
Elite Membership gives them access to future discounts at places like Lowe’s, rental car companies, hotels, storage unit rentals, moving services and more. Included with their membership are free in-house services provided by our Client Services department.
Some examples of using this card in action include:
We also provide free black and white copies, scanning, and notary services, just to name a few. On the website, your clients will be directed to get in touch with YOU for discount codes, keeping those channels of communication open long after closing.

These are certainly helpful tips. But do they really work? You might be surprised to learn that based on a study conducted by NAR, a whopping 92% of clients claim that they would use their real estate agent again. Sounds great, right? Well, not so fast.
The NAR study also revealed that only a paltry 11% of that 92% actually follow through and use their agent again! The reason for this is simple: When clients look for real estate agents, 86% use the first person they see in their search.
But with our Elite Membership Services Program, we can combat this problem and stay the forefront of our clients’ minds!
