AVAILABLE NOW: Complete WEBSITE MASTERY Webinar Series
Tawd Frensley, PropertyMinder VP of Sales & Marketing, provides extensive insight on how to increase your listings, fully nurture buyer and seller leads, boost your referrals, maximize client retention, stay top-of-mind, and strengthen your marketing efforts, through the implementation of exceptional practices and cutting-edge technology.

 

Excerpts and highlights:

Setting up searches for your homebuyers through the MLS is not doing anything good for your business. It’s simply sending listings to a customer. Our system sends listings to a customer – BUT in addition, when they’re looking at a listing, they’re looking at it on YOUR website.

When you upload photos to the MLS, everything is compressed and shrunk to minimize space. Nice thing about our new MLS Search is that we have purchased a separate server to house all of the large photos

~

It’s all about protecting your investment. NAR says that 80% of your database is going to choose another realtor – based on how people habitually market themselves.

Everyone in your database, at some point, is going to choose a realtor for some action – whether it’s buying a home, selling a home, etc.

Let’s make sure you’re always THE option.
Never assume that because you sold that person a house 10 years ago means that you’re going to be a part of their next transaction.

~

We all have clients that are nosey neighbors.
Ask yourself: Do I want every one of my (nosey) homeowners to go to an Open House and talk to another agent who is trying to grow their database? Do I want every one of my (nosey) homeowners to Google the address of the home for sale and end up on Zillow, submit their information and connect with a different agent?

~

You had a buyer. You showed them homes. You built a relationship.
Once they purchase a home – your marketing, inadvertently or otherwise, becomes remedial (sending general info, collective market snapshots, holiday greetings, etc.)

Seller’s Corner sets your homeowners (prospective sellers) on active, pending and sold neighborhood alert – effectively ensuring they are getting relevant, useful and – dare we say – inspiring information from you.

~

Make your website a hot spot of options.
“Here’s my website – here’s what your home is worth and/or here’s access to active homes in the entire area you’re looking to settle down in.”

Regardless if somebody can buy it, it’s important to give somebody the ability to look. Make yourself (more specifically, your website) their one-stop access to photos, details, and insight on any and all homes and properties (including luxury locations and views).

“With the AccelerAgent CRM –  you don’t need to ask for referrals.
You automatically create referral opportunities by marketing to the
specific needs of people on a personal level.”


“There’s no such thing as ‘too organized.’ Don’t send loose, ambiguous emails.
Your email marketing needs to have a rhyme and reason.”


“Even Coca-Cola wants to stay in front of people with marketing. 
Because as soon as they’re not, there are other options. They’re trying to corner people and say:
We’re the only option, we’ve been an option for you for many years we still want
to be that option, we’re willing to do whatever it takes to maintain that level of loyalty.
 

You have to look at your business the same way. The amount of money you can
make by staying in front of these people is substantial.”

 


“Market to them on a personal level.
Provide them info they don’t get from other places.
Your website is a digital version of yourself. And your goal is to get
your clients to come to your website as often as possible.
That’s where the CRM comes into play.


“Grade and rank your contacts A, B, C, D based on referrals –
prioritize who you should be reaching out to,
and staying in contact with on a regular basis.”


“Looking for a reason to invite people to your website? Here’s one.
Invite your homeowners to come to your website and get free
service provider quotes (from your trusted network).

It makes you a little more valuable:

Let me help you out. Have you thought about doing some home improvements?
Here are some of my trusted providers that I have used,
if you want to get some basic pricing – it’s all right here.”


“You can’t make somebody sell. You can’t email somebody and say:
Hey, you need to sell your house dude.
That’s not real. But at some point when they make that decision on their
own, you just want to be the person that they think of. That is all that you can do.”

 

Master Your Marketing In March

Posted on: March 3rd, 2018 by Tim Garcia

mastery

 

Reality check: your website does not have to be perfect.
But it can be if you “master” a few things.

“Mastering” your website. Cool concept.
But let’s break it down, word for word.

Mastering (verb): acquire complete knowledge or skill in (an accomplishment, technique, or art); gain control of; overcome.
Website (noun): a connected group of pages on the World Wide Web, maintained by one person or organization and devoted to a single topic or several closely related topics.

So what will the free WEBSITE MASTERY WEBINAR do? It’ll help you:
 MASTER the art of keeping people on your website…
 MASTER your representation as an “ALL things real estate” agent (home selling, home buying, home improvement, home care)…
 MASTER your knowledge and use of cutting-edge real estate technology (automated home seller lead capture included)…
 MASTER the smooth delivery of critical real estate resources for ALL of your clients (your homeowners, sellersbuyers and leads).

Click here to register for the next free WEBSITE MASTERY WEBINAR. We go LIVE next Monday, March 5th at 10:00 am (PST).

Can’t make it this Monday? Feel free to register for the next webinar by clicking here.

By the way: although previous website/marketing experience is not required for attendance (because we break stuff down in super simple terms), enthusiasm and excitement about learning a thing or two is a must. 🙂

Are you in? Really looking forward to this!
