5 Things You Should Know (6/5)

Posted on: June 5th, 2018 by Tim Garcia

What you should know_ Week 1 (1)

 

1. Antitrust Cops Turn Attention to Real Estate Data Zillow Needs

“Critics say the project has the potential to impede competition in the market by placing a large share of valuable real estate data in the hands of one entity controlled by NAR and large brokerages. Access to such data has been critical to the success of internet startups such as real estate listing company Zillow Group Inc.”

What you should do:
– Stay tuned for developments. Is this the beginning of the end for Zillow?
– Speaking of Zillow – did you know Seller’s Corner keeps your clients away from sites like that?

 
2. The Richest Self-Made Woman In Real Estate Shares Her Best Advice

What you should do:
– Get to know Dottie Herman. You may have more in common than you think.
– Oh, and make sure you’re fully equipped with the best money-making marketing suite out there.

 

3. Voters head to the ballot box in California. Learn more about the statewide propositions/measures and meet the candidates for Governor

What you should do:
– Um… VOTE!

 

4. Some sellers using home-tech devices to spy on buyers during showings.

What you should do:
– Maybe check-in with your clients. Make sure you’re on the same page. Trust is essential.

 

5. Find that competitive advantage with this home buyer’s guide to motivated sellers.

What you should do:
– Share every resource you can that will empower both you and your home buyers.
– Remember that your clients deserve the best – that’s why we purchased a server that houses
the largest property photos (upgrade from the compressed images on the MLS).

Select excerpts from the webinar:

“If you are interested in farming a neighborhood, if you are trying to grow your listings,
please let us know. We’ll be glad to take care of you. This is a really, really
exceptional home seller lead capture for you.”

 


“Interested in growing your database? Wanting to generate some new leads?
Here are easy and free ways to do just that…”

 


 “A seller is not defined as someone who wants to sell.
A seller is defined as someone who at some point is going to sell.
And your marketing to that individual should cater to, and capitalize on, that.
So that when they make that decision to sell, they make that decision with you.

You don’t know when they’re going to make that decision. 
And if they don’t know that your website provides the
resources they need, they’re going to go to other places.”

 


“Let’s give your clients a better experience when it comes to searching for homes,

while simultaneously ensuring they turn to you when they’re ready to make a decision.”


 “If you have an issue with your clients using Zillow, Realtor.com or Redfin, you can fix that. 
You have to begin to say: these people need to get on my site with the same MLS data. 
We purchased a server that costs $150,000 that just houses the MLS photos. 
Many companies compress the images to speed up the load time. 

Here’s what we’ve done: your clients experience the biggest, full screen photos on the market. 
It’s a proper, easy-to-navigate experience. We’ve even added Lifestyle tabs featuring 
Restaurants, Groceries, Nightlife, Cafes, Shopping, Arts & Entertainment, Banks, etc. 
People have direct access to their surroundings.”

 


“Let them know you are their future listing agent, by automatically keeping 

them informed about what’s happening in their environment. 

We’re trying to create a perimeter for you to keep your clients in.
If the house down the street goes on the market, they’re going to want to see it.

There’s a reason why we made these photos so big. If you can eliminate the need for somebody to say:
‘Oh I want to see the inside of that house. 
I want to compare it,’ if you can help fulfill some
of the nosiness – then you’re keeping that person away from other realtors.”

Politics aside, this is just bad news for your homebuyers.

Posted on: October 4th, 2017 by Tim Garcia

Howdy folks,

Quick question – how do “changes that would make homebuying less attractive” sound?* Yeah, not so pleasant. I know.

Yesterday I came across this headline: “The California Association of Realtors says the Republican Tax Reform Plan will eliminate the incentive for people to buy homes, shrink the middle class, and raise taxes on hundreds of thousands of California homeowners.” *

Irrespective of your political party affiliation(s), this (especially the parts about diminishing homebuyers’ motivation to purchase homes, and increasing taxes on homeowners) is pretty unsettling news, to say the least.

Inventory is already low. Your homebuyers, in particular, should (no, make that NEED to) feel energized and confident, now more than ever.

This news calls for something that’s going to keep your homebuyers consistently pumped, optimistic and encouraged to have faith that their dream home is within reach.
A good suggestion: our new MLS/IDX Search feature that ensures every last accurate detail and up-to-the-minute property/housing data is available to every single one of your homebuyers.

Current customers: if you’re ready to upgrade, simply let us know.
Non-customers: if you’re ready to take advantage of this, and ensure 100% homebuyer satisfaction – let’s get you set up on a free trial.

Feel free to reply either way. I’ll be in the office all week. 🙂
Tim
