Consider it as a scoreboard to your actual property operation: Are your advertising and marketing {dollars} producing leads? Are these leads turning into appointments? Are you truly closing offers or simply spinning your wheels?
With out KPIs, it’s all guesswork about what’s truly working to convey you offers. That’s harmful in actual property, the place time, cash, and alternative are all the time on the road. By constantly monitoring KPIs, you cease working your enterprise on intestine intuition and begin making selections based mostly on actual knowledge.
