How to Grow Your Real Estate Business with FirstList

Step 1: Sign-up for free

Signup for FirstList. It’s totally free to start, so you really have nothing to lose.

Step 2: Are there listings in your working area yet?

Checkout the listings in your working area. Click on Listings -> Search in the left navigation.

‍

Yes there are lots of listings -> Great, skip to step 5.

No, there aren't many listings -> We got some work to do, go to step 3.

Step 3: Invite agents from your brokerage or team

In order for FirstList to have value, you need to have agents in your working area that are adding Coming Soon, Exclusive or Assignment listings. 

Invite your team or brokerage - You can share 100% of your listings with these agents and still be fully RCP compliant.

Invite colleagues outside your brokerage - Some listings can be shared freely with these agents, but exclusive residential listings will need to be 1-1 shared (which is okay, it’s easy to do!).

Step 4: Add listings

Get some listings in. Have any exclusives? Coming Soons? Assignments? Add them to FirstList! And ask your team to do the same.

Did you know premium plans have admin support? Admin’s can upload listings for your entire team to make it easy.

Step 5: Invite potential buyers and clients

Let the buyers in!!

Invite them - Just invite them from the “Contacts” sections and they will receive an invite to subscribe with you.

Manually add them - Have their info? Know what they want? You can add their details and their search criteria yourself.

Sign-up link - This is your growth tool. Potential buyers and your clients can all signup and follow your off-market network with you. Here are the best ways to share it:

📧 Email blast - Do you have an email database? Send out your signup link with our recommended template.

🧍 In-person with clients - Checkout our buyer and seller flyers.

🏠 Open house - View our open house flyer.

📱 Social media post - Take a look at our suggestions.

Your buyers will now be notified of all coming soon and exclusive listings in their search areas that become available in your network. Pretty cool right?
