Static Reports, Generic Insights, Missed Opportunities
Let’s say you're sending your clients a typical Market Report. It might include:
- A few sales comps
- Average days on market
- A brief summary of price trends
Helpful? Sure. Impactful? Not always. Here’s why:
- Lack of context: Your client doesn't know how to interpret a “25 days on market” stat without knowing what it was last year—or how it compares to other neighborhoods.
- No personalization: Reports often skip over what matters most to buyers and sellers: neighborhood livability, school quality, transit access, and local character.
- Time-consuming for you: You spend hours cobbling together bios, stats, and neighborhood write-ups from multiple sources, only for it to get skimmed (or worse, ignored).
A Smarter Way to Deliver Local Insights
To create reports that resonate, agents need to go beyond stats. You need to answer the unspoken questions buyers and sellers are really asking:
- “Is now a good time to buy here?”
- “Will my kids have access to good schools?”
- “What’s driving demand in this part of town?”
- “Who lives here—and will I feel like I belong?”
This is where two powerful tools come in: Market Reports and Intel Reports—when done right.
1. Market Reports: Tell the Story of the Local Market
An effective Market Report should include:
- Agent bio: Build trust by showing your local expertise and track record.
- Neighborhood overview: Set the scene—what makes this area unique or desirable?
- 30-day market snapshot: Help clients understand current trends in listings, pricing, and competition.
- Sales performance: Show actual sale price vs. asking price to set realistic expectations.
- Time on market: Compare this year to last to highlight speed of sales.
- Comps and trends: Offer 3–5 relevant comps with commentary.
- Is now a good time to buy/sell? Deliver clear, evidence-based insights.
- Location benefits: Schools, transit, walkability, dining, and recreation.
2. Intel Reports: Answer Lifestyle and Livability Questions
These reports dive deeper into:
- Neighborhood character: Who lives here, what’s the vibe, and is it quiet or buzzing?
- Transportation: How do people get around? Is it car-friendly, walkable, or transit-rich?
- Amenities: Highlight parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and other local perks.
- Education: Showcase public/private schools, daycare options, and proximity to universities.
- Ownership vs. rentals: Explore the balance of owner-occupied and rental properties to help clients understand how housing types may influence the area's long-term stability and maintenance patterns.
- Market trends & climate risk: Is this area stable, rising, or changing fast?
5 Ways to Upgrade Your Client Experience with Better Reports
Combine market data and human insight. Stats alone won’t help your client fall in love with a neighborhood. Pair numbers with stories.
Answer the “should I act now?” question. Use market momentum and trend lines to offer timely advice.
Make every report agent-branded. Your expertise is part of the value—don’t leave your name out.
Segment by buyer/seller needs. A first-time buyer wants different intel than an investor. Customize accordingly.
Deliver consistently and automatically. Timely updates build trust and keep you top-of-mind, but manually assembling them isn’t scalable.
