Building strong personal connections significantly enhances your chances of successfully securing a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t just apply to new brokerages or agencies. People are more likely to recommend or work with someone they know and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These relationships and connections are often called your real estate sphere of influence (SOI).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing and maintaining your sphere of influence will ensure a steady stream of new deals and referrals in the real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll discuss how you can grow your real estate SOI and maintain your relationships to develop a consistent and healthy pipeline of new deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Sphere of Influence and Why Is It Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your sphere of influence refers to your network of personal and industry connections. The stronger your relationships, the more influence you will have in the industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving your sphere of influence is important because you can ask more of people you have strong connections with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/how-to-start-a-real-estate-brokerage\">guide on how to start your own brokerage<\/a>, you\u2019ll know that your sphere of influence is vital when starting any new real estate business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you begin, you\u2019ll need to make your first sale quickly. But you\u2019ll face a significant hurdle: your business is still unknown. This means that to start with, new clients won\u2019t come to you, and you\u2019ll have to seek them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to do this is to use your current sphere of influence. You could ask for referrals from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Friends and family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Former colleagues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your contacts in the local market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neighbors and local community members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Ways to Expand Your Sphere of Influence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each relationship you build could result in several closed deals and be worth millions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expanding your network is vital, as it helps with lead generation, referrals, and repeat business, ultimately helping you build a successful real estate career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you can proactively grow your sphere of influence. You don\u2019t necessarily have to wait for clients to come to you. Here are some ways to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Take stock of all your current connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by writing down every person in your current sphere of influence and immediate circle as a real estate professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Challenge yourself to think of as many individuals as possible, and consider the people you could get to know or those you could be introduced to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-52.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You should segment this list into groups representing each type of relationship. This will help you target each audience with relevant, personalized communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine you were looking for seller referrals. You probably wouldn\u2019t approach your list of prospective buyers. These people don\u2019t want to sell and haven\u2019t done business with you before, so approaching them wouldn\u2019t be helpful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you would approach family and friends. Phone calls or in-person chats with them would be appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ask for referrals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you were looking for a buyer for an extensive ranch property. You can seek referrals from your contacts by attending weekly local real estate networking events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach will likely be successful because you have an in-person relationship with these people, which means they may be more willing to give you a referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, sending a generic message asking if anyone knows a buyer via your social media accounts is less likely to result in success. Lacking a personal relationship with these individuals could lead to your request being easily dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Get networking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In real estate, nothing beats in-person connections. You simply need to get out and meet people. Here are some networking tips to grow your sphere of influence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a1\ufe0f Join professional real estate agent bodies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your local real estate association will likely run events to help people create connections, network with like-minded people, and provide a great opportunity for professional development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most real estate agents focus on a specific niche. They may get clients that they can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to work with. In these situations, they\u2019ll need someone they trust to refer the client for real estate assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By networking with industry professionals, you can both broaden your sphere of influence and gain valuable insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a good example from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greaternashvillerealtors.org\/pages\/summermembermixer\/\">Greater Nashville Realtors<\/a>. They hold summer mixer events, golf tournaments, and awards ceremonies. All of these are great ways to meet fellow realtors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51-1024x475.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51-1024x475.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51-646x300.png 646w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51-768x356.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51-500x232.png 500w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-51.png 1506w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greaternashvillerealtors.org\/pages\/summermembermixer\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a1\ufe0f Join local business groups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just focus on building strong relationships within the real estate industry. Get involved with your wider business community, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could join your local chamber of commerce, your city\u2019s trade association, or even more general networking groups for local businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Networking can generate real estate leads and allow you to meet other professionals, like lawyers or accountants, who could help with your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example from the <a href=\"https:\/\/sdchamber.org\/\">San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce<\/a>.

This system allows you to store and update your contact list and automate common sales and marketing tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-54.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A good CRM will also help you track your marketing efforts so that you know what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t. This will help you narrow your SOI marketing approach so you can spend time on the most effective tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to choosing a CRM, we suggest using either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/\">HubSpot<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.followupboss.com\/\">Follow Up Boss<\/a>. However, always do your research before deciding on the right CRM for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u270d\ufe0f Delve into content marketing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Very few real estate brokerages do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/5-real-estate-marketing-strategies-that-work\">content marketing<\/a> well, so it\u2019s a great way to grow your sphere of influence, gain a competitive advantage, and build authority in your industry. Content marketing involves creating and sharing material like videos, blogs, and social media posts that don\u2019t explicitly promote your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalsilk.com\/digital-trends\/content-marketing-statistics\/\">80% of marketers<\/a> say content marketing is the most effective method for demand generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most brokerages simply blast current clients with outdated listings or emails telling them the market is \u2018hot.\u2019 This information isn\u2019t useful to potential clients and may even lead to them unfollowing you on social media or unsubscribing to your newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on creating content that buyers and sellers will find genuinely useful.

This helps you deliver more targeted messaging via email and stay connected with your existing and potential clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Use personalization<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalized emails get an impressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailmodo.com\/guides\/personalized-email-marketing-statistics\/\">open rate of 29%<\/a> and a click-through rate of 41%. If you\u2019re not personalizing your emails, you\u2019re missing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalizing your emails can be as simple as incorporating your contact\u2019s name in the subject line, which leads us to our next point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Create compelling subject lines<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Your subject line is the first thing your potential clients see, and it\u2019s what ideally gets them to open and read your email. So, your subject line needs to be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A subject line should clearly state the email\u2019s content and give the recipient a good reason to open the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of good subject lines include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[Name], your dream home is just a click away<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[Name], don\u2019t miss out: open house this weekend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[Name], discover the latest real estate market trends in your area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Use a clear call-to-action (CTA)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t expect your potential clients (or the connections you\u2019re building a relationship with) to figure out on their own what their next steps should be. Your email needs to clarify what action you want them to take through a call to action (CTA).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, email CTAs come in the form of clickable buttons that lead the reader to the next stage of your pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcf1 Leverage social media<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another effective way to build relationships that can lead to sales is via social media. A survey found that the top benefits of social media marketing are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/resources\/social-media-statistics\/\">80% increased exposure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the contacts you want to connect with will likely be on platforms like LinkedIn, which is also a good place to market your new business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One promising strategy is to join local real estate groups on social media platforms. These groups could be places where potential clients ask questions or even find a real estate agent to help them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could provide real estate advice and market reports in your social media posts to make them engaging and useful and establish yourself as a knowledgeable resource.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also post market updates, information about your real estate services, and testimonials or success stories from satisfied clients to generate genuine interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This broker regularly shares market updates on LinkedIn for his local area, potentially helping him gain more exposure, build relationships, and get more leads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"492\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59.png 492w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jaantin\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/\">Reddit<\/a> is a particularly good platform for this, as most cities have a subreddit dedicated to their local real estate market.

That\u2019s why we recommend using automation tools to handle as many common content-related tasks as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a social media automation tool allows you to schedule posts in advance instead of manually publishing them daily. You can dedicate time to planning a month\u2019s worth of social media content, freeing you from this task for the rest of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-57.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, automation should be reserved for less personal, regular communication. For example, you shouldn\u2019t automate messages to family members and friends. On the other hand, it would be suitable to automate a weekly newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Stay in touch with your clients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One mistake that real estate professionals often make after closing a deal is failing to stay in touch with previous clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a possibility that if you make a good enough impression, these clients will want to work with you again. By not maintaining your relationship with them, you\u2019re missing out on the opportunity for repeat business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something as simple as a thank-you note and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperlesspipeline.com\/blog\/going-beyond-the-keys-8-ideas-for-real-estate-closing-gifts\">small gift after your deal closes<\/a> can go a long way and allow your relationship to continue to form naturally. Use messages to check in with them, celebrate their personal milestones, and provide any additional advice they may need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to recent research, the average length of home ownership is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialsamurai.com\/the-median-homeownership-duration-is-too-short-to-build-real-wealth\/\">13 years<\/a>. If you stay top of mind with former clients through consistent communication during that time, you can build meaningful connections with them and turn them into repeat clients.
