Referrals help escrow companies find new clients, so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0important to build strong relationships with real estate agents for long-term success. Great service during a transaction builds\u00a0trust but\u00a0keeping in touch\u00a0after closing helps agents remember your company for future deals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A simple relationship marketing plan with regular follow-ups and professional print materials can help you create better partnerships, get more repeat referrals, and grow your business. In this article,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0find practical tips for building lasting referral relationships and using print marketing to stay top-of-mind between transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\nWhy Great Service Alone Doesn't Guarantee More Referrals \n<\/h2>
\n

A smooth closing<\/a>\u00a0is key to building strong referral relationships, but it should not be the last time you connect. Since real estate agents usually work with several escrow companies,\u00a0keeping in touch\u00a0helps\u00a0maintain\u00a0those professional ties. When escrow managers see each closing as the beginning of a lasting partnership, they build trust, stay in touch with referral partners, and open the door to more business in the future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some touchpoints you can follow to\u00a0keep in touch\u00a0with agents.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\nBuild a Referral Marketing System Instead of One-Off Campaigns \n<\/h2>
\n

Many escrow companies send holiday gifts or go to networking events, but these efforts\u00a0are\u00a0often\u00a0great for short-term wins only. By using a referral marketing calendar, you can\u00a0keep in touch\u00a0with real estate agents and lenders all year, making sure your company stays visible between deals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, you\u00a0could do the following activities yearly:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Timing<\/th>\n Relationship Activity<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n
After every closing<\/td>\n Send a personalized thank-you postcard.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
Quarterly<\/td>\n Mail an educational brochure or helpful escrow resource.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
Before networking events<\/td>\n Prepare branded presentation folders and business cards.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
Agent appreciation events<\/td>\n Use coordinated event signage and printed materials.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n
Holidays<\/td>\n Send appreciation of postcards or direct mail pieces.<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n<\/div>
\n

Having a set schedule makes relationship marketing part of your routine. It also helps you give each referral partner regular, meaningful updates without always needing to\u00a0<\/span>come up with<\/span>\u00a0new plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\nMatch Your Marketing Materials to the Relationship Stage\n<\/h2>
\n

Different stages\u00a0of a referral relationship call for different marketing materials. Choosing the right printed pieces for each interaction\u00a0keeps your communication<\/a>\u00a0relevant, professional, and memorable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Introducing Your Escrow Company<\/span><\/b>\u00a0
<\/span>When meeting new real estate agents or lenders, focus on making a strong first impression. Business cards, brochures, and presentation folders clearly introduce your services while giving prospective partners useful materials to reference after your conversation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a Successful Closing<\/span><\/b>\u00a0
<\/span>A recent closing is a natural time to reconnect and show appreciation. Send a personalized thank-you postcard or agent appreciation mailer to acknowledge the partnership and keep your contact information ready for future transactions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During Networking and Community Events<\/span><\/b>\u00a0
<\/span>Networking events are ideal for expanding your referral network. Branded event signage attracts attention, while brochures, business cards, and presentation folders give attendees helpful information they can take home and reference after the event.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

\nGive Referral Partners Something Worth Keeping \n<\/h2>
\n

Rather than giving out materials that people throw away, make resources that real estate agents and lenders can use during the transaction process. Helpful materials are more likely to stay on desks or in folders, so your company stays visible even after your first meeting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
