real estate marketing: How to Put Testimonials to Work for You! - 08/04/11 11:07 AM

Information is instantaneous in our day and age which can be good... and bad.  Let’s think in the realm of reviews and referrals.  If your friends go to the newest restaurant in town and love it, you’re sure to hear about their experience.  Whether you talk in person, read it on their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter, their review can be easily received by many people at once.  Chances are, all of their friends are now eager to check out the restaurant and word begins to spread quickly.  
 
The bottom line?  Whether good or bad, a … (23 comments)

real estate marketing: Want to Get Rid of Mundane Tasks? There's an App for That! - 07/28/11 08:18 AM
It was only a matter of time before the famed iPhone came out with an app for doing those daily, mundane task that you don’t want to do.  It’s called TaskRabbit.  Now, TaskRabbit, formerly known as RunMyErrands, has been around for a little while allowing those with a limited schedule and a less-than-limited budget to assign chores like grocery shopping, picking up the dry cleaning or any other task you can think of to other people who will do it for you.  What a great concept!
Well, as we continue expanding on our super convenient lifestyle, TaskRabbit just announced their new … (5 comments)

real estate marketing: Become an HGTV Real Estate Expert! - 07/07/11 06:35 AM

I don’t know about you, but I love watching home shows about design, house hunting and inspiring ideas for spaces.  And, while I don’t actually own a home, it’s fun to dream up ways to make my apartment more functional and inviting.  I’m sure as real estate agents you probably have mixed feelings about these types of shows.  You either want a break from the real estate scene, or you enjoy seeing what’s out there in your real estate world.  Either way, I ran across something the other day that I wanted to share with you!

real estate marketing: Did You Know...? - 06/16/11 07:06 AM
As Real Estate Virtual Assistants, we often get agents come to us with the statements, “I don’t know if this is something you do...” or “I didn’t know you guys did that!” so I thought it was time for a little session of Did You Know...?  
 
Being a Real Estate Virtual Assistant is worlds apart from being just a virtual assistant.  Many virtual assistants work from home on their own, will need to be trained in the real estate specific tasks you need them to do, and will provide only the service that you request of them.  And that’s okay.  … (3 comments)

real estate marketing: How to Create Dynamic Contact Forms & Calls to Action on Your Website! - 04/28/11 09:48 AM
Have you ever visited a real estate website that resembles an in your face used car commercial with flashing graphics, neon colors and every sentence competing for your attention all at once?  You immediately feel the urge to click off the page and avoid being pressured to “act NOW!”On the other hand, there are those websites that seem somewhat mysterious and finding any type of contact information feels like a treasure hunt with a dead end.  After a minute of trying to figure out where the real estate agent is located or attempting to contact them to ask them a question … (5 comments)

Every agent wants it.  Whether it’s walking into a local restaurant and having people recognize you as “the” real estate agent in town, gaining new fans on your social media sites every day, having your phone ring off the hook with new leads or requests to be a guest speaker at a real estate conference; recognition and success go hand in hand.Yet we all know this type of buzz about you and your business will not just happen overnight.  It won’t even necessarily happen if you’re simply a great agent!  Your selling record may far exceed your area competition and you … (8 comments)

real estate marketing: Diary of a Virtual Assistant - 01/27/11 06:10 AM
We often get wrapped up in our own world and assume that everybody knows what we know and sees what we see. Your job as a real estate agent is second nature to you. You use terms such as MLS and REO on a regular basis and assume that everybody else knows what you are talking about. More than often though, they don't. That's why they trust you with their homes and not themselves. I often speak to you in this blog and assume that you know exactly how my company works. But more than likely, you don't. So here goes... … (3 comments)

So, when’s the last time you updated your business card?We understand there’s a lot going on, but if you find yourself crossing an old email address off your card and writing in a new one, or your social … (12 comments)

real estate marketing: A Beautiful Marriage: Trulia and Facebook - 01/20/11 08:45 AM
I recently participated on the Trulia webinar "Trulia and Facebook are Now Connected." The webinar touted the new Facebook features now available on Trulia and how you can use them to your benefit as a real estate agent. After my experience with this particular webinar, it looks to me like it could be a beautiful relationship. In my experience as an avid webinar attendee, I have found that webinars can be very touch and go. Sometimes you participate in one, and find that you know more than the person giving the presentation. That was not the case here. Rudy from Trulia … (3 comments)
