RB For Me: Working with Tenants Playbook

‍

Whether you're a newer agent building your book of business or a seasoned pro looking to add a reliable revenue stream, working with renters is one of the fastest ways to generate transactions, sharpen your skills, and grow a referral pipeline, all at the same time.

That's the premise behind the RB For Me: Working With Tenants Playbook, developed in collaboration with J. R. Alexandre, a Florida-based real estate agent who has built a thriving practice around the rental market. Inside, he shares four plays that can immediately change how you approach tenant relationships, from the moment a lead comes in to the referrals that follow a successful placement.

Read about his four plays and how to build your own playbook to start your journey toward rental success:

• Play 1: Working With a New Rental Lead: Speed is everything. Agents who respond to a web lead within five minutes are 21 times more likely to qualify it than those who wait 30. Set up an automated welcome email, follow up by phone as fast as possible, and make the goal of that first conversation simple: ask qualifying questions and book a tour.
• Play 2: Winning Over a Renter: Renters are often skeptical of agent representation, so come prepared. Research backup listings before every showing so you're never caught empty-handed if the first property disappoints. Having alternatives ready demonstrates expertise and keeps the deal moving.
• Play 3: Representing a Landlord = Lead Machine: Every landlord listing generates inbound leads you can convert into your own clients. If a prospective tenant isn't right for the property, pitch your services and help them find one that fits. Meanwhile, the landlord may have more properties to fill or be looking to grow their portfolio.
• Play 4: Getting Referrals from Renters: Rentals close faster than sales, happen more often, and involve multiple parties, each a potential future client. Treat every placement as a relationship worth nurturing, and the referrals follow naturally.
