How to Email Russian Realtors Your Offer of Cooperation in Sales
You are willing to email Russian Realtors about your international property for sale? Hoping to sell it to Russian Buyers? Russians spent billions on buying international properties every year, and it's quite understandable that many real estate sellers, realtors and developers in some countries of the world want to offer their properties for sale to the lucrative Russian market.
Almost every day I receive an email or two with offers of cooperation in sales of international properties to Russians as some people mistake me for a Russian real estate agent, I believe...
Well, I'm not a real estate agent in Russia (or any other country); as you know I'm English-Russian translator and Russian internet marketer of Russian origin residing in the North America (you may have a look at the page Credentials if you want to learn more about me).
Russian is my mother's tongue, I got my education and work experience in Russia, know Russian business culture and mentality and as such I'm able to say how Russian agents would react to the emails they receive.
What Is the Main Purpose When You First Email Russian Realtors?
Having seen a lot of emails sent to Russian realtors from international property owners, developers and real estate agents with an offer of cooperation in real estate sales to Russians, I've put together the List of 7 typical mistakes that prevent the property sellers - senders of the emails - of getting from Russian Realtors what they want.
As the main purpose of your first email to Russian Realtors is to inspire their interest in your property, you have to keep in mind that they receive many offers every day that's why your offer should stand out to be accepted over some others.
Important Note: yes, when you first email Russian Realtors, you only pick them up to continue to communicate with you about the future cooperation, but please do not have high hopes to sell anything with just one email - it’s usually not possible, and most of the time will take more than that…
Your email offer of cooperation to Realtors in Russia should be in Russian preferably (translated by a human translator who knows Russian and Russian business culture very well), in English would be your next choice, but never machine translated (Russian Realtors can use machine translation on their own, at least then you are not responsible for any mistakes of such translations).
Why is it better to email Russian Realtors in Russian? It's one thing that in Russian it's more comfortable for them to read and fully understand, there is another consideration as well – they should have your property and area description for their own marketing purposes in Russian (to place on their own website, etc.), that's why they would prefer to respond to offers where they have less work to do (no translation to perform, it's done already). Do you see your advantage here if your email is in Russian?
Here it’s interesting to mention that once in a while I receive messages through my English-and-Russian website not even in Russian or English (the last would be more or less understood in the world), but in some languages other than English which are of course the senders' own languages and they love to use them… Fascinating though - why would they think that everybody in the world is ready to understand them?
