Facebook Fridays: Your Story Matters. You Matter.

Posted on: June 20th, 2018 by Tim Garcia

CLICK HERE to read the original ActiveRain blog post in it’s entirety.

facebookfriday

 ~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~

Do you use the “Your Story” feature on Facebook?

If you’re unfamiliar, “Your Story” is not only a great way to highlight photo(s) and/or video(s) featuring listings, open house(s), stagings, showings, testimonials, any and all eye-candy life has to offer, etc. – it’s a terrific means of underscoring, and boosting the exposure of, particularly important experiences in your life and/or career. Your Story is also highlighted at the top of your friends’ Facebook news feed so that everyone is immediately alerted that you have something to share. The sad part? The stories disappear after 24 hours (which kind of sucks if they include things you want to personally immortalize, or save and share as a post on social media). The good news? Here’s how you can SAVE your story posts to your devices.

 

Did You Know… 90% of marketers believe social media increases exposure for their brands? 43% of web traffic is generated from social media? Over 80% of real estate agents use Facebook? The truth of the matter? Everyone is on Facebook these days (including but not limited to your prospective buyers and sellers, and your competition). So, irrespective of whether or not you A) passionately love it, or B) fervently hate it – social media marketing (a dynamic Facebook presence, in particular) is critical if you want to enhance and enlarge your online audience. You deserve the same (FREE) exposure and promotions everyone else is getting in on! If you need help getting started, Facebook Fridays is a treasure trove of professional insight, wisdom, and guidance on how to truly succeed and shine on the social media powerhouse.

 

~ Facebook Articles ~

We receive quite a few requests for Facebook Ad guidance from our current clients, so I found it imperative to feature at least 2 articles examining, and re-articulating the importance of, these (sometimes challenging yet lucrative and worthwhile) mini-projects. The last two articles were generously suggested by Debe Maxwell and Fred Griffin, respectively. Oh! And that BONUS tip on the wonders and complexities of Hashtags (which, if used on your public posts, can SIGNIFICANTLY extend how far reaching your post is in terms of Facebook users) is definitely worth a gander. Don’t miss it. And start using #hashtags, if you aren’t already!

5 Things You Should Know (6/12)

Posted on: June 13th, 2018 by Tim Garcia

What you should know_ Week 1 (1)

 

1. “Wouldn’t that make a great condo?” Trump is excited by North Korea’s real estate potential.

What you should do:
– Maybe ask yourself where you draw the line on real estate transactions. Do you ever say “no”?

 

2. Why Empathy Belongs At The Heart Of Real Estate

What you should do:
– If you find your drive or motivation eroding, put yourself in your clients‘/leads‘ shoes – they’re
counting on you to help them make responsible, milestone decisions. Don’t let them down.

 

3. New York has fined and suspended dozens of real estate agents.
Here’s why consumers are left in the dark.

What you should do:
– Keep in mind that transparency is critical. Especially with reviews. Speaking of reviews, we
added a featured testimonial section to our new website template. Check it out here. 

 

4. Real estate agent is a hot career again in Arizona.

What you should do:
– Consider moving to The Copper State. Just kidding. With the right marketing to support you,
agents can enjoy hot careers anywhere in the nation. Just saying.

 

5. Why aren’t we all buying houses on the internet? 
    Because the one thing startups can’t disrupt is the real estate agent.

What you should do:
– Remember that Seller’s Corner and the MLS feed on your website can and does keep your
prospective sellers and buyers away from sites like Redfin, Zillow, Trulia and the like!

 

Keep on being awesome, y’all!

5 Things You Should Know (6/11)

Posted on: June 12th, 2018 by Tim Garcia

What you should know_ Week 1 (1)

 

1. Trump’s Hosts at Summit Are Low-Profile Real Estate Billionaires.
What you should do:
– Hope for the best outcome. And remember you don’t need to be a billionaire to own cutting-
edge technology designed in the heart of the Silicon Valley. 😉

 

2. Trade in your house? Startup launches a different approach to real estate in Triangle.

“It purchases customers’ new homes on their behalf, moves them in, and then sells their existing homes for them on the open market with the goal of making real estate transactions more simple – and more certain.”

What you should do:
– Keep in mind that competition is around every corner. What are you doing to ensure your
 buyers and sellers aren’t lead astray?

 

3. Millennials Aren’t Having Kids. Here’s Why That’s A Problem For Baby Boomer Real Estate & Retirement.

“Whatever the reason, the decision of Millennials to delay or forgo having children will have a ripple effect on wannabe Baby Boomer grandparents. No, I am not concerned about Donna’s desire for grandbabies. I am thinking about a far more practical issue – Donna’s financial security.

The majority of Baby Boomers’ wealth is not in the bank, in a pension plan or in an investment portfolio, but in their homes. Despite the popular urban mythology of Boomer life in the big city, more than 70% of Baby Boomers are still living in suburban and rural areas. An increasing number of soon-to-retire and recently retired Boomers are looking to downsize and cash out the decades of equity they have amassed in their homes as a source of income and a chance to live the good life. But how can they cash out without any buyers?”

 

What you should do:
– Touch base with both your millennial and baby boomer clients. Ask what they’re up to.
Maybe even share this article. Find out if there’s any truth to what we just read.

 

4. The World’s Largest Real Estate Companies 2018.

What you should do:
– Speaking of companies, are you happy with your current broker? More importantly, do you
have website(s)/marketing in place separate from your brokerage? If not, consider setting up something more independent that’ll help you stand out.

 

5. Redfin CEO explains why competitors should fear him.

What you should do:
– No need to pay and read this article. Just prove this guy wrong. Provide your clients with
every single service Redfin provides (+ more). We’re happy to make sure you’re all set up. 🙂

 

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start,

Is $165,000 Worth It? (Home Seller Infographic)

Posted on: June 6th, 2018 by Tim Garcia

newhome

 

Staying connected to your homeowners (via Seller’s Corner) pays off in 2018.

How?

Case in point: 13705 Sherman Blvd, Marina, CA 93933
– Listing Price (2017): $634,000 (via Redfin)
– Listing Price (2018): $799,000 (via Oak Anchor Homes)
– Property Value Increase: $165,000 in 3 years.

In a nutshell, $165,000 price increase in 3 years is enough to reach out to your past clients and let them know a thing or two about a thing or two.

Seller’s Corner is your friend, your foundation, your bridge to the land of listings.
Remind them how much their home is worth.
Remind them you have the answers they’re looking for.
They’ll remember you when they’re ready to sell their home.
It’s that simple.

#ICYMI (In Case You Missed It): this year, we launched our new “Home Address (Seller Lead) Capture.” It’s essentially an upgrade of our listing generation (CMA) technology (Seller’s Corner).

Instead of going on and on and on about it (like we previously did), we’re inviting you to a LIVE, interactive look at the new, cutting-edge marketing tool in-action, and how it’s generating more listingsfor agents all across the nation.

You can either send me a request for a one-on-one demo – and/or – register for and attend one of our next free webinars (as early as next Monday, May 28th at 10:00 am PST) hosted by our own VP of Sales & Marketing, Tawd Frensley.
Really hope we can connect!
