The Grinch Who Stole Your Listings (+ How To Get Them Back In 2017)

Posted on: December 29th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Howdy,

Tim here – how’re things? Ready to wrap up December and head into 2017?

2016 has been rough.
So here’s a little holiday rhyme (inspired by the late, great Dr. Seuss)
to perk up your mood – and, very likely, your listings.

The Grinch Who Stole Your Listings (+ How To Take Them Back In 2017)

Every agent across the land enjoyed listing a lot,
But the syndicate Grinch portal lurking online did not.

The Grinch misinformed and confused! Every single season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

It could be, perhaps, that he didn’t have the best sight.
It could be his system wasn’t set up just right.

But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his capacity to tell the truth was much, much too small.

But, whatever the reason, his eyes or his inability to speak the truth,
He grabbed, scattered, and hoarded listings, like a kid with a sweet tooth.

You’re a sneaky one, Mr. Grinch. You keep folks in the dark.
You allow others to steal. You’re really off the mark. Mr. Grinch!

Then, one day, at PropertyMinder Headquarters, we had a thought.
We saw the unfairness and figured it was time the Grinch got caught.

Maybe your listings, we pondered, don’t have to be lost,
Maybe your listings, perhaps, should remain yours at any cost.

And what happened then? Well, in Real Estate they say,
That PropertyMinder’s Seller’s Corner truly saved the day.

It reconnected past clients. It brought back seller leads.
It brought low inventory woes to a halt and met listing agent needs.

It branded listings to rightful owners. It delivered what really mattered.
It kept your homeowners safe and secure, instead of scarce and scattered.

It kept your clients from open houses, where other agents roam,
With Seller’s Corner, the Grinch and competition is clearly no match, when it comes to selling a home.

 

Cheers to a solid last week of 2016,

Your Sellers Need To Lighten Up.

Posted on: December 20th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Hey there,

Tim here. What’s new?

Heads up: Wednesday, December 21st marks both Winter Solstice (shortest day and longest night of the year) AND Look on the Bright Side Day.

Coincidence? I think not.
Your leads and clients will be deprived of extra daylight, which might make them extra cranky – especially if it’s chilly out.

So, what can you do to brighten their day?

You’re not God. You can’t manipulate the sun.
But you can provide a special type of brightness (the best and only kind that truly matters) by…
…enlightening sellers with automated home values proving you’re the expert
…shining the spotlight on exciting and matching properties (including HD Photos) for your buyers
…providing everyone with the essential home care resources needed to maximize their comfortability on this (and many other) long winter night(s).

Cozy up to folks. It’ll pay off.
The holidays are definitely revving up. Enjoy yourself, connect with people, drive safe, and let me know if there’s anything you need help with as we gear up for the New Year.

Hi there,

____, here. You’ve been so generous with your time this year. I’d like to express my gratitude.


*DATE is *HOLIDAY and I’d really like to celebrate it with you.
This way we can catch up over a delightful snack (on me) instead of just texting and emailing. My schedule is pretty flexible – let me know what works best for you and I’ll schedule something in a jiffy.


[Insert SELLERS or BUYERS target segment here].


SELLERS:
[While I’m at it, I’ll bring along some printed home values and
home care resources as extra food for thought (no pun intended). I like to consider myself your one-stop shop for all things real estate. I hope you will, too].


BUYERS:
[While I’m at it, I’ll bring printed details about homes and properties that might be up your alley. I’ve been doing some extra research for you and would love your feedback to confirm whether or not I’m on the right track].

Looking forward to it!
