For Real Estate Developers: Are Most of Your Leads Actually Worth Your Time?

Been digging into the seller side of real estate recently, and something doesn’t add up.

From the outside, it looks like there’s plenty of demand. Constant listings, ads everywhere, property finder/bayut traffic etc

But when I talk to people in the space, the story shifts to:

too many low-intent leads, endless back-and-forth, buyers who disappear after 2-3 calls

Which makes me wonder, is the real problem not “lack of buyers,” or just too much noise in the system?

Curious if this is accurate or completely off:

Are you actually getting enough serious buyers, just buried under junk leads? Or is demand itself inconsistent right now?

I'M NOT SELLING ANYTHING!!

I'm just trying to understand if this problem is unique to the businesses and brokers I've worked it or genuinely just general experience.
