Lead with Value: Using CMAs to Stay Connected & Spark New Business
Your business is built on relationships. Referrals and repeat clients come from staying connected—but with a packed schedule, following up after closing often slips through the cracks.
You already know a well-crafted CMA helps sellers understand their home’s value—and helps you win the listing. But its potential doesn’t end there.
It’s time to see the CMA as more than just a pricing tool.
What if you could use your CMAs to stay connected with past clients, continue delivering value, and create new opportunities long after the listing appointment?


Add New Life—and Purpose—to Your CMAs
Instead of letting your CMA gather dust after the listing appointment, you can repurpose it as a way to provide ongoing value. Market trends shift, sales data, property values change, and clients—whether they’re past sellers, buyers, or even just curious homeowners—appreciate updates that are relevant and personalized.
But instead of a generic “Thanks for your business,” note months after helping them find their dream home, imagine saying:
– “Here’s your personalized home report for the month.”
– “Just keeping you in the loop—your neighborhood saw a 3.5% rise in home values this quarter.”
– “Let me know if you’d like to talk about refinancing or exploring new opportunities.”
This isn’t just a theoretical concept. Lone Wolf Cloud CMA and its built-in automated CMA tool, Homebeat, makes it incredibly simple to keep in touch with past clients—and help secure future transactions.


Your Always-On Client Relationship Manager—Homebeat in Cloud CMA
So how does it work? Homebeat functions as a “living CMA,” delivering dynamic, digital reports. Unlike static reports, Homebeat updates automatically, ensuring your clients receive real-time market information. Plus, you can schedule these updates to be sent monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually—you decide.
Homebeat is already built into Cloud CMA—so why not put it to work? The benefits are plentiful:
· Consistent Value Delivery: Instead of sporadic check-ins, Homebeat provides regular, relevant information your past clients will find genuinely useful. This positions you as a continued resource, not just someone who helped them with a transaction.
· Set It and Forget It Client Engagement: The beauty of Homebeat lies in its automation. Once set up, these personalized updates go out automatically, saving you precious time while ensuring consistent communication.
· Sparking More Conversations: These updates aren’t just about numbers. They can subtly remind past clients of their positive experience with you, potentially leading to referrals or future business when their real estate needs change.
· Reinforcing Your Expertise: By consistently providing market insights, you reinforce your position as the local real estate expert in their eyes. When they or someone they know thinks of real estate, your name is more likely to come to mind.
· Personalized Touch: Despite the automation, the reports are branded with your information, keeping your name and contact details front and center.
Just remember, a single CMA might help you win a listing. A series of personalized CMAs can help you win a client for life.
And that client? They’ll tell their friends, family, and colleagues—multiplying your opportunities without multiplying your workload.


Final Thoughts
Lone Wolf Cloud CMA and its built-in automated CMA tool, Homebeat, are similar in function but give you the opportunity to use your CMAs a bit differently—to work with current sellers, previous clients, and others in your contact management system or CRM.
Cloud CMA lets you create visually compelling and informative reports for your sellers that go beyond basic price comparisons. Include neighborhood demographics, school information, and local amenities to provide a holistic view of the market. These reports are easily shareable and position you as a true market expert in your listing presentations.
Homebeat takes this a step further by allowing you to automate the delivery of personalized market updates based on the data within your Cloud CMAs to an audience of your own choosing. Automatically send recent sales activity and market trends for a specific neighborhood to past clients who live there or potential sellers you’ve previously engaged with so you can keep in touch and top of mind.
Remember, your CMA isn’t just a pricing report anymore—it’s a client engagement tool, a relationship builder, and a business multiplier.
