In this article, we\u2019ll go through how to look up your leads so you can tell if they are a realtor registered in Singapore. <br><br>Then, we\u2019ll show you an faster, easier way to do this without leaving your Privyr app. \ud83e\ude84\ud83d\udcf1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a real estate agent, you\u2019ve probably experienced a situation where you receive new leads. Then, you send out your initial WhatsApp message, property brochures, and floor plans. Maybe you even follow up with that lead several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, after spending that time and effort trying to figure out who this lead is and how they fit into your sales funnel, you find out that it\u2019s not a person looking to buy property at all<strong>. It\u2019s a fellow co-broker or colleague \u2013 or even a competitor <\/strong>looking to snoop about you, your listings, and your sales materials. \ud83d\ude35<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExanNxMnNqaTc2OHRnN3RlZHRlYWF0MXBlamxwcGIyOXVwbTdwYjkwYiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/8CFKqeK9vks3C\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Realtors when they find out their shiny new leads are actually three rival realtors in a trenchcoat.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>How annoying is that? Not only have you wasted time, effort, and possibly ad spend on your competition, but you\u2019ve also sent them your sales scripts and your content, which they are now successfully checking out, courtesy of you. \ud83d\udc80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your time is valuable. So, wouldn\u2019t it be great if there was some way to tell if your lead was a realtor before you sent them all of those materials? That way, you would only need to concentrate on more qualified leads \u2013 with whom you may actually land a sale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good news \u2013 you don\u2019t need to be a detective to figure this out. So, let\u2019s crack open this case! \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to use Singapore\u2019s CEA database to find out if your new real estate leads are competitors \ud83d\udc40<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, Singapore\u2019s Council for Estate Agencies keeps an online database of all of its registered real estate agents, with details that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registration Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Property Transaction History<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While the CEA database primarily exists for clients to verify who their real estate agents are, realtors can also search this register, created by the government for the public. If their new lead\u2019s phone number matches someone in the registry, they know that their lead is a licensed real estate agent in Singapore. Case solved! \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Is there a faster way to look up my new leads without having to manually check their numbers in the database every time? \ud83e\udd14<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that you can look them up against the CEA database without ever leaving your Privyr app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How to use Privyr to more quickly and easily find out if your new real estate leads are your competition \u2705<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a real estate agent in Singapore using Privyr CRM, then checking your leads in the CEA database is super simple.
