You’re Elected: The Seller/Buyer Neighborhood Expert.

Posted on: November 8th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Election Day has us asking – have you ever thought of your marketing and brand as part of an ongoing election?

Like politics – catchy slogans, ads and gimmicks in real estate only get you so far.
Your “undecided voters” (your “undecided leads and clients”) don’t want sweet talk or short-lived remedies. They want honest answers and lasting solutions to challenges and issues they’re facing. So, how do you become the “elected” real estate neighborhood expert?

You need to rile up your entire base (your database, that is) of “undecideds”.
No. You can’t make someone buy or sell with (or “vote” for) you.
But you can make them think of you when they’re ready to make decisions. Here’s how:

 

 

  • Sway “undecided homeowners (sellers)” to your side by updating them on the ever-changing “homeland security” (the housing market) via Seller’s Corner. If they’re getting consistent, accurate answers (home values) from you – they’ll turn to you when they want to list. Earn additional trust, while you’re at it, by providing year-round home care resources via Homebrella.

 

Ultimately, you need allies (that’s us) to help you win every single campaign.
Whether it’s attending a free webinar, reaching out with a technical question for our Support Department, taking advantage of Unlimited Training, or requesting fresh content from our Marketing Department – we pledge to help out any way we can.

Hungry For Better Relationships? This’ll Do.

Posted on: July 5th, 2016 by Tim Garcia
Hey there,

Tim here, again, with a quick Tip & Script Of The Week.

When people aren’t fed, they’re cranky and irritable.
The same goes for your leads – when they don’t feel routinely nourished, cared about, and/or spoon-fed relevant info – they will likely stomp off to one of the 2 other agents they know.

In short – remember that “satiated” (nurtured) leads and clients translate into a (financially) satisfied and successful agent (that’s you).

With that said – take this advice literally.
Treat promising leads and valued clients (Sellers and Buyers) to some easy-on-the-wallet grub. Here are a few holidays (and accompanying email greetings) worth considering, this month:

* July 7th: National Strawberry Sundae Day
* July 9th: National Sugar Cookie Day
* July 23rd: National Hot Dog Day AND Vanilla Ice Cream Day

* August 3rd: National Watermelon Day
* August 10th: National S’mores Day
* August 4th: National Chocolate Chip Day
* August 5th: Homemade Pie Day
* August 5th: International Beer Day
* August 6th: National Root Beer Float Day
* August 15th: Cupcake Day
* August 24th: National Waffle Iron Day
* August 30th: National Toasted Marshmallow Day
* August 30th: International Cabernet Sauvignon Day

 

Hi there,

 

____ here. How’s your summer going so far? All is well on this end. Just keeping busy and trying to stay in touch with folks as we head into the second half of 2016.

You’ve been so generous with your time this year, and I’d like to express my gratitude in a special way.

*DATE is *HOLIDAY and I’d really like to celebrate it with you.
This way we can catch up over a delightful snack 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
SELLER or BUYER 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].


Cheers and
bon appétit,
___________

Let me know if you have any
email marketing content requests.
I’m here to write for you, around the clock.

Cheers to a solid July,

Tim

The Only Part Of The Market You Should Blame, Is Your Market-ing

Posted on: June 9th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

Let’s not play the blame game. 

It’s not how many people you have in your database.
It’s how well you know the people in your database.

If this wasn’t the case, then you could consider the phone book your CRM. (if agents actually called, that is)

Just because the Internet exists, doesn’t mean you don’t need to build relationships.
Just because email exists, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call your clients.

If your business is not where you want it to be, point some blame.
However, just try not to blame the market.

The only part of the market you should blame, is your market-ing.

Relationships are the building blocks of any business.
Look to the past, how many multi-million dollar deals were done over a handshake, a cocktail, and signed on a napkin?

A website can be exited.
An email can be deleted.
A postcard can be tossed.
But…….
Our words can last a lifetime.
If you are their “Real Estate Agent For Life” then do yourself a favor, find out what is happening in “Their Life”.

That’s all, for now.
