BUYERS PORTAL
Over 2000 Registered Buyers.
We know most estate agents spend thousands of pounds advertising properties for sale to attract buyers. Yet experience tells us once we have them as an expensively captured resource, the chances of them actually buying one of our properties is relatively low. (less than 5%). And in most cases it's simply due to the following!
Overselling
Agents who have not had the opportunity to study the art and science of estate agency technique are often guilty of overselling. Because they have not acquired the subtle talent of the real estate pro. So instead think if they thrust property details onto buyers and push hard enough, they will make a sale.
"This is like shouting at a Spaniard to overcome their own inadequate grasp of Spanish".
These agents immediately ask all kinds of personal questions like, how soon are you looking to buy? When can you view? Are you talking to other agents? How will you fund the purchase? Do you have your finance ready? All questions that are guaranteed to get over 95% of buyers rejecting their services.
Get It By Not Asking For It
Agents do of course need to know this information, but you don't have to ask for it. Buyers will offer you this information willingly after you have first structured your real estate dialog correctly!
Why Not Use Powerful Highly Persuasive Real Estate Dialog
Next time you receive an enquiry, why not use powerful, highly persuasive real estate dialog in your replies. If you would like to understand the type of dialog that the most successful professionals in the world use, let me know. It will help you to convince every serious buyer instantly to view your properties, and to reject the services of all other agents. Request Details!

Yet experience tells us once we have them as an expensively captured resource, the chances of them actually buying one of our properties is relatively low. (less than 5%). And in most cases it's simply due to the following!
Underselling (Online)
Some agents believe that you can't make a buyer buy, and that properties eventually sell themselves if they are advertised long enough on their website and offered to enough potential buyers that make enquiries. Underselling usually happens because the agent does not wish to appear pushy and so simply provide property details by email along with very basic real estate dialog, that in most cases persuade less than 3% of buyers why they should view properties with that particular agent. A basic truth in agency is the most successful estate agents use highly persuasive dialog to instantly get buyers to view their properties and to reject the services of all other agents.
Here in general is the type of dialog used by over 95% of agents that is almost ineffective...
"Hi, thanks for your enquiry. Here are a selection of properties. Please let me know if any are suitable, if not I can send you some more".
This apparent indifference towards the buyer is met by indifference towards their agency – Buyers are looking for an agent to take charge of their home buying problem, a problem that's made a lot easier when they have an expert to guide them! The above response or similar responses are not the responses of a real estate expert that buyers in most cases feel they can rely upon!

Hi,
Please find below this weeks buyers looking in your area. Do let me have suitable property details as soon as possible if you're able to assist them. A Home Move Manager will be in touch to arrange all possible viewings.
Janice Pool - 3 bed detached villa, private pool inland Costa Blanca up to 280.000 Euros Donna and Joe Sharzey - 3 bed semi villa or townhouse Orihuela Costa up to 170.000
Euros Richard Rourke - 2 bed apartment Guardamar, La Mata area, up to 200.000 Euros
Mr S Davison - 3 bed villa, pool, villamartin, playa flamenca up to 230.000 Euros.
SHARE - http://www.hipini.info/share You can view a more comprehensive list of buyers by visiting ' Share' and entering into the Public Area.

MLS & Property Portals - Friend Or Foe
Now that real estate has firmly established itself online, estate agency in the 21st century has become a world of Property Portals, Multiple Listing Systems and Internet applications. Both Property Portals and MLS services have evolved, developed and matured spectacularly over the past decade. Today they are by far the cheapest way of acquiring property stock and buyer leads, at a far lower cost per applicant than traditional advertising. But if every agent now has access to every property on the market, are agents in danger of losing...cont'd...
Share Buyers-Share Commission - http://www.hipini.info/share WANT to earn commission on buyers that don't buy from you? Use Share - Our unique buyers system.
Cont'd... are agents in danger of losing their identity? Yes! As increasing numbers of estate agents subscribe to major Portals and MLS services, each individual agency is then no better off than the other. In simple terms, if a buyer contacts 10 agents and each agent returns an exact property match (which they do) using an MLS system, 9 out of 10 agents have effectively lost an opportunity to sell. MLS systems and Property Portals have today become entry level estate agency. It's the platform that any would-be estate agent can instantly launch their real estate career from, whilst competing on an equal footing with more experienced agents.
An over reliance on MLS systems and Property portals are the number one reason agents report low or zero sales. Today many agents will need to re-establish their identity and unique selling points to secure more buyer opportunities by looking towards new innovative ways of selling.

Hi Partners
Here's the latest news update on Hipini and our home buyers Center. We are now expanding our service into the Costa del Sol, and would welcome the professional services of all reputable agents to assist our buyers with their property search in your area.
How We Continue To Help Our Agency Clients
We have grown dramatically since we launched Hipini Spanish Property Network in August 2010 and with the recent opening of our Home Buyer Centre, we now have on board 15 high street agents working exclusively along the east coast of Spain. Whilst representing the interests of buyers, our primary focus has always been helping our estate agency clients convert more buyers into sales.
Indeed, around22% of all buyers we currently approach on behalf of our agency clients go on to buy with those affiliated partners. If you compare that to on average 2% agents report achieving using Property Portals and other sources, you can easily see why the benefits of working completely with qualified Hipini buyers, in Spain, ready and willing to view your properties exclusively, will substantially increase your sales and commission levels.
Around 98% of all the leads generated by property portals like, Prime Location, Kyero and Think Spain, agents will never sell to.
Our Home Viewings
Agents on average meet buyers to view their homes within 2 weeks of partnering, just ask property professionals like -:
- Ian Goodfellow - Pure Property Group - Less than 1 week
- Cristine Naylor - CMR GROUP SL - Less than 3 days
- Steve Brogan - Brogan Properties - Tour within 10 days
UK And International PressThere has been a significant increase in the number of people using our Home Buyers Service in the UK over the past few months. And along with 'Share' our unique buyers referral system, we now have a lead pool of over 2000 buyers. This growth is set to continue as more buyers become aware of the benefits. The press is often the buyers' champion and are keen to promote our Buyer Representation Service in Spain at local, national and international level.
I firmly believe should you choose to represent our buyers in Spain and in your area, you will easily double your current agency revenue, so I do hope you partner with us!
Until next time.
My best regards

Newspaper Sensationalism
We all know that newspaper headlines are more about sensationalism than the truth! For years the press has been allowed to dictated more or less what happens to the property industry, with contagious predictions about the stability of our greatest asset. There is no doubt that the British way of life is bonded to house prices, and the print media knows this. The general public will always rush out to buy any paper that carries negative headlines about the real estate doom and gloom. This of course effects the overseas property markets, and for us — the sale of homes in Spain.
Nervous Buyers
As the media machines roll out their ill informed garbage, usually by last weeks obituary hack, turned this weeks property expert. Buyers become nervous and understandably reluctant to buy quickly, as they feel property could be cheaper in the future. The economics of supply and demand kick in and prices fall.
Pride Of Home
As prices fall, homeowners are usually unwilling to accept that any movement in price downwards actually applies to their own property! This is often as a result of lack of confidence and trust in their agents judgment. With Spains problems of the recent past (thankfully in the past), today many homeowners still feel that agents can offer very little value or benefit with their home moving plans. The job now must be for agents to prove different.
The Real Value Of Agents
As time goes by and properties remain unsold, sellers become more anxious, frustrated and impatient. Now the real value of a progressive thinking estate agent will become increasingly apparent. Talented professionals able to demonstrate their skills will win the business, as vendors see real value once again in professional real estate services that inspires them to put their trust in you.
Are you a progressive thinking agent, do you have the skills needed today that inspires?

Want To Increase Your Property Sales?
Real estate is very simple in terms of maths. We all know the more customers you talk to, the more viewings you will arrange, the more offers you will receive, the more sales you will achieve! Most agents are also aware of the number of properties their buyers need to view before they feel ready to offer. If that number is — lets say 11 — then in theory you simply need to be involved in the 11th viewing to secure a sale… That's Cohesion!

There seems to be some confusion about Blabba Social Media Network and what we term Traditional Property Portals.
We are not a TRADITIONAL PROPERTY PORTAL — But a Contemporary Real Estate SOCIAL MEDIA Network!
The Picture of Property Syndrome
Our marketing is not aimed at tempting agents further into the picture of property syndrome — that's what property portals do — and they do it very well!
The Trap
Agents seem to have now fallen into the trap of thinking that to display more property after property after property in an already saturated market, will some how increase their sales. It Wont! It Never has worked that well in agency for the most, and it never will. It can't! Because that would mean real estate was simply a matter of uploading more properties and you would sell more, and out sell your competitors at the same time. Until such time as they upload more properties to outsell you.
With No Distinction Your Business Is A Lottery
A general property portal search will deliver hundreds and even thousands of similar results. Similar properties at similar prices in similar locations, and by similar looking agents. As there is little or no distinction between property display advertisement, both buyer and seller are at a loss as to whom to choose from to represent their interests. All agents are reduced down to the same common denominator, your business becomes a lottery, and customers decisions to select you as their choice of agent are made simply by luck or chance.
How To Increase Your Sales — Online
The most effective way to increase your sales volume online is by written content. People love sharing and receiving information. So why not provide them with tangible reasons to want to use your agency. The written word when partnered with video has proven to be one of the most influential real estate strategy today. The worlds top producing agents are satisfying, and even encouraging, their online communities thirst for reading interesting real estate content, by publishing articles about a wide variety of property-related topics.

Choosing the right type of property in Spain will depend on what you determine as essential and within your spending power.
A Plaza or central square is normally the merging point for villages in Spain. Here you can find shops and a town hall. Rows of townhouses and apartment blocks can be found in the cities.
Rural properties such as fincas (country house) and cortijo (farmhouse) are abundant in the Spanish real estate market. They are usually tied in with a large expanse of land as well as some outbuildings and orchards. Ruins and refurbished farmhouses are accessible on the market. For these types of properties you will need to make sure that basic utilities such as water and electricity are available. Check all the documents to make sure that they are legal and that you have the liberty to make renovations or improvements.
Found on the outer edges of the cities and seaside areas are called urbanizations.
These are structures are home to a small community. They have their own swimming pool, sports facilities, shops and services. This type of property is usually ideal for foreigners. Germans and British nationals are known to reside in urbanizations.
Also found on urbanizations as well as at the heart of the countryside are villas. These are commonly built for immigrants. Usually bungalows, this type of property are just right for the elderly and those suffering from mobility problems. Situated on a sizeable lot, they also have shared facilities and swimming pools.
Prior to acquiring property here, one should exercise caution and check with the town hall for the legitimacy of the rural villas and urbanizations.
Ranging from urbanizations or resorts, modern properties to snow colored properties in Spanish villages, townhouses may look small from the exterior but are actually spacious, and have several floors. Majority have balconies or roof terraces. They are also equipped with shared facilities like gardens and pools.
Apartments are properties that are of great abundance in Spain. They cater to a diverse demographic, ranging from plush low-rise apartments in golf course resorts and country clubs, package holiday resorts, to high-rise structures located in cities. For the more affluent individuals, there are penthouse apartments that are spacious. These have communal swimming pools, gardens, sports facilities and even golf courses. Some have terraces which can accommodate an outdoor grill, a hot tub, sunbathing and an outside eating area. There are also smaller studio type apartments for those on a budget. If you are particular about noise, be sure to check with the landlord so that you will not have to contend with noisy neighbors, or stay in a wing that is leased during holidays and summer breaks which can be packed with active vacationers.
Regardless of your budget and dwelling requirements, there will always be a property in Spain that is available and ready for the picking.
