This Real Estate Agent Knows Best (Re: Father’s Day)

Posted on: June 15th, 2017 by Tim Garcia

Howdy,
Tim here – how’s your summer going?
Heads up: Father’s Day is this Sunday the 18th.

Given the fact that parent-child dynamics vary from person to person, I tried to be as inclusive as possible when drafting the greeting below. Let me know what you think – and feel free to use the content in an email marketing campaign (it’s never too early to schedule one – you can literally copy, paste, fill in the blanks and send it).

While you’re at it, remind folks that father YOU know best when it comes to meeting their ALL of their real estate needs.

*Subject Line suggestions:
– Unconditional (Sometimes Tough): Dad’s Love Knows No Bounds
– Unconditional Support – Not Just A Dad Thing (Re: Selling/Buying A Home)
– Father (And I) Know Best (Re: Selling/Buying/Building Homes)

Fathers embody a unique kind of strength.
From training wheels to our first cars as adolescents, they take us on exciting routes in life.

Whether it’s confronting the monster under our beds, playing sports in the backyard, tinkering with tools in the garage, piggyback rides as kids, sharing barbecue tips, or simply providing a shoulder to lean on when we’re down and out – they have a special way of teaching us lessons and instilling values that help shape who we grow up to be.

Biological, Adopted and Step Dads, Uncles, Brothers and Grandfathers, I hope you take the time to connect with, and celebrate, the fatherly figure(s) in your life this weekend.

Take care,
__________

 

P.S. – Speaking of family, consider me a “wise parent” in real estate – if you, your friends or anyone you’re related to is interested in homebuying, homeselling, home improvement resources, or needs advice on any similar topic – please feel free to reach out, at any time.

Your Sellers Aren’t Afraid To Walk Away (A Holiday Warning & Remedy)…

Posted on: December 13th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Your sellers, buyers, clients & leads aren’t afraid to walk away…
…So make sure they’re not lead astray.

Question: are you a giver or taker this holiday season?

GIVE folks the right dose of care, nourishment and relevant information. And RECEIVE lasting results. See what we mean, below…

1) GIVE 10 minutes: Sleigh bells ring – make sure they’re listenin’!
Provide relevant information to 2 prospective sellers and/or past clients by adding them into your Seller’s Corner system.

*RECEIVE: Your website comes bearing gifts for both you and your clients. Delivering these merry updates will give your homeowners the information they need about home values, while simultaneously being directed to your personal website.


2) GIVE 10 minutes: Avoid being on the naughty list.
Reach out to one memorable client from 2016 reminding them of their value and your ongoing commitment to meeting their real estate needs. Request a brief testimonial from them endorsing your quality work.

*RECEIVE: A winter wonderland of approval. Even if it’s just one success story, these narratives further humanize you and build outside trust and recognition. Always strive to feature more reputable business highlights and affiliations on your website.


3) GIVE 10 minutes: Frolic and play, the realtor way!
Call someone once a day. Just say hello, start friendly conversation:
Any plans this holiday season?
Can you believe 2017 is almost here?
Do you have any big plans for the New Year?
The more you know about your clients and leads, the better equipped you are to meet their needs. If they don’t answer, leave a voicemail. Need scripted content to navigate conversations? Check out this Phone Script For Your Sellers and Phone Script For Your Open House Follow-Ups for guidance.

3 cont.) GIVE 10 minutes: Give your business card to 2 people this week.
Whether it’s at an open house, a client or homeowner you reach out to or cross paths with – this is your chance to engage in face-to-face encounters that put a warm and genuine image to your business.

*RECEIVE: Obtain insight about critical life happenings that will influence living situations for current and potential clients. And your efforts of contacting them will serve as a memorable (and favorable) lasting representation of your business. Enough said.
4) GIVE 10 minutes: Spread some cheer on behalf of others.
Promote other businesses that live up to your standards – and that your clients will appreciate (ex: reputable food drives for the needy, best gift shops, nicest cafes, tastiest bakeries, etc.).

Next, get creative. Think of another group for your contacts (ex: based on sports/athletic aficionados, pets-lovers, film buffs, etc.) Customize your e-mail marketing that reflects your versatility and range of satisfying people’s interests.

*RECEIVE: Enhanced branding of yourself as a diverse agent with a deep interest and consideration for your clients from all walks of life. And good karma when it comes to promoting other businesses- remember, what goes around comes around.
5) GIVE 10 minutes: Warm up to your clients on slower winter days.
Send out a personal holiday e-mail greeting sharing photos of you at your office, include quick home inspection tips for the rainy season (ex: checking leaky roofs), ask clients to send in photos of their home decorations and post your favorite on your blog. Share updates about neighborhood holiday activities. Come off as cozy, not “salesy”.

5 cont.) GIVE 10 minutes: Sneak a peek. No – not at the gifts under the tree.
Review your client tracking activity – take note of patterns in MLS searches and send out friendly reminders: I noticed your search history includes 2 bathrooms, you might be interested in these listings…. Stuff their stockings, while you’re at it: MLS Searches should not be at 0. Set up a few for clients based on their activity history. Make that list and check it twice!

*RECEIVE: Jingle all the way to 2017. Engaging with clients will continue to foster better relationships into the New Year.

Give Knowledge. Receive Listing(s), Referral(s) & Respect.

Posted on: November 29th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Give: Knowledge.
Receive: Listing(s), Referral(s) & Respect.

Hey there,

Tim here, how was your Thanksgiving?
Aside from pies, I hope you were able to slice out some rest and recovery time.

Quick question – do you think it’s really better to give than to receive?
Well, I guess it depends on what you’re giving – right?

This #GivingTuesday (November 29th), ask yourself:
Am I habitually providing (giving) my leads and clients what’s relevant and necessary, in order to gain (receive) what’s important, beneficial, and professionally fulfilling to me?

More of a Listing Agent?
– GIVE sellers home values so they’ll turn to you when they’re ready to list.
– GIVE homeowners (your prospective sellers) home care resources so they’ll keep you on their radar for everything real estate.
– GIVE specific reasons why sellers should want to work with you, reassurance you’ll secure the “best offer on their home”, and home staging guidance to develop referrals and a quality reputation as the neighborhood real estate expert.

More of a Buyer’s Agent?
– GIVE warm, quick email greetings to spark their interest.
– GIVE Listing Alerts that match their exact interests to show you care.
– GIVE yourself automatic, on-the-go listing insight with the AgentView mobile app

While you’re at it…
– GIVE your website some love on the next free online editing webinar.
– GIVE us your attention and boost your marketing-know on a free webinar.

 

Would love to receive any feedback you have on this.

Have a solid week back at work,

Tim

P.S. – Giving and receiving the aforementioned isn’t exclusive to November 29th.
These tips are applicable (literally) 365 days a year.

Last Minute Thanksgiving (Holiday) Email Greeting.

Posted on: November 22nd, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Hi there,

Tim here – how’s your week going so far?
You’re probably traveling, preparing, lounging, wrapping up work before Thanksgiving, or a busy combination of these – am I right?

Just wondering – do you plan on sending a holiday greeting this week?
Well, heads up – I’ve drafted a short and sweet Thanksgiving email (see below) for you to send to leads and clients, if you’re in a pinch or need extra inspiration.

Email Subject Line Option #1: Have a quick sec before Thanksgiving? This (and you) really matter to me…
Email Subject Line Option #2: Your generosity is enough to be thankful for this year. 

Dear ______,

Time to put the heaps of food, family squabbling, and frenzied shopping on the back burner for a second.
Now: take a moment to pause, breathe, and relax with a quick greeting conveying my deep appreciation, unwavering gratitude, and absolute thanks for our continued personal and professional bond.

Honestly, your vibrant generosity alone is enough to be thankful for this year.

Your time. Your trust. Your kindness. Your fears. Your dreams. You’ve shared it all with me.
And I want to reiterate my commitment toward ensuring your home journey is thoroughly secure, joyous, and fulfilling, year-round.

Home Purchase. Home Listed. Home Care. Home Values. Home Improvement.
You can always count on me for all of your real estate needs, above and beyond.

I look forward to reaching new heights with you as 2017 comes to a close, and as a bright New Year full of enriching opportunities approaches us.

Warmest Thanksgiving wishes to you, family, and friends,

______________

Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving,

Father’s Day Greeting

Posted on: June 8th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Hey there,

Tim here – how’s your June going?
Heads up (although you’re probably already aware): Father’s Day lands on Sunday the 19th.

Given the fact that parent-child dynamics vary from person to person, I tried to be as inclusive as possible when drafting the greeting below. Let me know what you think – and feel free to use the content in an email marketing campaign (it’s never too early to schedule one).

 

*Subject Line: Unconditional (Sometimes Tough): Dad’s Love Knows No Bounds.

Fathers embody a unique kind of strength.
From training wheels to our first cars as adolescents, they take us on exciting routes in life.

Whether it’s confronting the monster under our beds, playing sports in the backyard, tinkering with tools in the garage, piggyback rides as kids, sharing barbecue tips, or simply providing a shoulder to lean on when we’re down and out – they have a special way of teaching us lessons and instilling values that help shape who we grow up to be.

Biological, Adopted and Step Dads, Uncles, Brothers and Grandfathers, I hope you take the time to connect with, and celebrate, the fatherly figure(s) in your life this weekend.

Take care,
__________

Remember…
If you ever need additional guidance,
personally-tailored marketing content,
and/or just need to “vent” – feel free to reach out.

No sales pitch, either. Seriously.

Mother’s Day Email Greeting (Take Advantage!)

Posted on: May 3rd, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Mother’s Day is just a few days away.

Have you set up your Mother’s Day email campaigns yet?
(Keep reading if you need Mother’s Day email texts!)

Have you thought about calling your contacts and beginning the conversation with, “Happy Mother’s Day!” or “What are your plans for Mother’s Day?”
You can even weave in a reminder to people for them to not forget to pick up that important Mother’s day gift or bouquet of flowers.

Remember to update your social media posts, as well.
Ask questions, post something funny, or encourage people to share their favorite photos of mom or memories of mothers at home.

Try to incorporate mothers and houses somehow in your marketing.
Many of us have a mother who loved being in the kitchen, had a library full of her favorite books, or had a beautiful garden she tended to religiously. Encourage people to talk and re-connect with you.

We know Mother’s Day is an important day. It is important to email your clients, leads, and past clients to know you are thinking of them, and/or to have a script ready for a conversation.

We want you to be successful this spring, so we have a new batch of three, ready-to-go Mother’s Day emails in the CRM Message Library called, “Brand New: Mother’s Day.”  


Here is an example of one, for you, for free: 

Subject Line: When we think of home, we often think of Mom

When we think of home, we often think of our mothers. Some of our fondest memories are cooking together with Mom in our childhood home’s kitchen; giggling with Mom in the backyard; holiday gatherings in the living room with her; and story time before bed in our childhood bedrooms.

This Mother’s Day, I hope you have the chance to make your mother (or whoever was the mother in your life) feel special and appreciated.

Have a wonderful day!

Warm wishes,

We hope you get to utilize the new Mother’s Day
email texts we have written for you this week.

If you are not a customer, just sign up for a free,
30 day Test Drive and you will have access to them. 

Let us know what worked for you or if you need any help.

Talk with you soon,

Anna

Quick Haunting Halloween Homeowner (Seller) Greeting

Halloween is just around the corner.
Set up an email marketing campaign with this quick greeting:

 

Subject Line Ideas:

Stay Fearless (In Your Home) This Fall
Creepy Clowns Are No Laughing Matter – Neither Is Home Care


Hey there _____,

“All Hallow’s Eve” is just around the corner. Any special plans this year?
Here’s hoping your home is not the target of any tricks involving eggs, pumpkins, dreaded toilet paper, or any creepy clown stalking (Did you read about that last year?!)

I hope your day(s) are filled with nothing but fun-filled treats and the utmost safety this month.

Speaking of safety, if you’re gearing up for any home care projects – let me know if you need help getting any resources you need to start or complete things.
Whether it’s roofing and plumbing repairs, or heating, flooring and/or moving assistance – I can get you set up with the right, affordable professionals in your neck of the woods. We are, after all, heading into the Fall and Winter seasons. 🙂

Also – if you’re already facing challenges with your home due to weather or related issues, please give me a ring today. I’m always here to help out!

 

Have a very Happy Halloween!

___________

 

 

Also remember: the more you know about people, the better equipped you are to meet their needs.
Take the initiative to make inquiries like this and let them that you have answers to ALL of their real estate needs – Home Values via Seller’s Corner, Home Care via Homebrella (the wet, rainy and colder Fall & Winter seasons are upon us!),Home Improvement. Home Sales, relevant community events, etc.

 

Cheers to a safe, fun and sweet Halloween,
