A true lead has to be more than a name and a phone number for one thing.

Any one who contacts me in any way. Initial viability is a working email address and/or phone number. Beyond that you can't immediately tell and some leads take a long time to turn into a prospect.

Good morning Val. A lead would be an inquiry that comes through my website, that came as a result of my blogging efforts.

Val Evans someone who contacts you for buying or selling real estate is a LEAD! That's my simplest definition.

In the real estate context, it's someone who wants to buy or sell who likes you enought to provide a real name and contact information.

Val Evans I think some are calling a lead a prospect on here. I think a lead is contact information from someone who indicated an interest in a listing or home value. Level 2 is prospect if they are able to transact, not underwater if a seller/qualified with cash or financing. Having said that you never know where a lead may take you. I've been referrred by many leads to other parties/friends/family

I think a lead is anybody that reaches out to you inquiring about your services. Until they become a client, they are only leads.

A lead is a name and an email and/or phone number that has indicated an interest in my services.
A viable lead is one that you have made contact with and engaged.

An email address with a heart beat on the other side is a lead.
Not all leads are equal.
So, what is the value of an email when compared to a telephone number compared to a completed evaluation compared to a pre-warmed citizen.
All of them leads.

A lead is an inquiry, if direct; or, a tip, if from a third party. There is no minimum requirement or set of characteristics. Until/unless developed, it can simply be a name. To be a VIABLE lead, the name would have a desire + means + level of interest indicating possible present or future need + interest in services that could be provided by the service provider + sufficient communication between the lead and service provider.
I'm sure I am probably missing something . . . sign me Miss Led. ;)

Mine is a prospective buyer or seller. The source can be from anywhere (friends, family, Z, r.com, website, IDX registration,...).
Now the next question is how do you define "good/neutral/bad" or "hot, warm, cold" leads?

I will look for your answer. I can say one thing I do not pay for leads. I pay a referral fee at closing to other licensed agents.

Good morning Val. To me, a lead comes a viable when it produces my desired results – making the company money.
1,771,867
Someone who is thinking about property and calls you, or hits your web site.

First a lead has to be real, someone ready, willing and able to buy or ready to sell. The probem is many leads are raw and not real and those that are are given to too many agents at the same time.

A lead is a lead. We have to approach in positive manner; it can be useful or waste of time. But after spending little time we will know whether it can be converting to prospect or not. Time management is key in our business.

A lead with some real contact info and at least a little interest brings a plain lead to at least a minimum rung of a viable lead.
7,835,293
A lead and a viable lead are two different things. You need to convert them to viable leads.
797,457
Someone who truly wants to sell their home or someone who needs to purchase a home.

A specific need and a defined timeframe turn a person into a lead, IMHO.
140,768
Someone who has an interest in my service and will be buying in next 12 or so months. Someone who wants to continue receiving information from me. Someone who thinks they will work with me and doesn't express the intention of working with sellers agents only.

Val in your comments on the answers you keep asking for what elements make a viable lead a lead. That's confusing to me. There is the big pool of all "leads" (inquiries with some contact info, you can define them almost any way). Then there is the range from worthless to genuinely qualified and ready to move now. For buyer leads some things I quickly assess is
1. Are they qualified?
2. Are they motivated?
3. Are they realistic in what they want given their budget?

A good lead has done more than ask a theoretical question and has a genuine interest in buying or selling real estate in the relatively near future (not the 3 to 5 year maybe plan).
