real estate copywriter: Real Estate Copywriting FAQ's - What does it cost? - 06/06/12 10:14 AM
Often, when an agent contacts me about using my real estate copywriting services, the first question is "What does it cost?"
If they're asking about a bio, I can answer: $300. For anything else, the answer is "It depends on what you want."

Instead, make sure they know the reasons why.
One easy way to be sure you're including those reasons why is to give your copy the "So what" test.
