home improvement: STOP, DROP, and SELL!
- 04/12/18 12:40 PM
In honor of "Drop Everything and Read" Day (which is, well, today 4/12) - we're taking a moment to reflect on and underscore what it takes for your leads and clients to literally DROP what they are doing - and not only READ an email, text and/or hard content from you - but GET INSPIRED TO RESPOND to you, based on what you sent them to read.
Make sense?
We've said it time and time again: giving folks relevant, useful info. (like, say, THE VALUE OF THEIR HOME; WHAT THEIR HOME IS WORTH and/or PROPERTIES THAT MATCH THEIR DREAM HOME) is not only immensely appreciated by sellers and buyers, respectively - it … (2 comments)

- 01/22/18 02:36 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
Happy Monday! I've compiled a list of our best and most engaging scripted content to spark conversations with home sellers.
I realize many of you may associate the word "scripted" with disingenuity and/or something utterly unnecessary. However, you may be surprised at what a quick dialogue refresher might reveal (things you're inadvertently omitting in conversations).

home improvement: Open House. Close Deals. (A Plan Of Action)
- 01/03/18 04:32 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
How's 2018 treating you?
Although I remember reading previous posts containing something to the effect of: "I refuse to do Open Houses" or "Gee, I don't really see the point," I've taken the liberty of revamping one of our previous blog posts and turning it into an infographic (which, as you can see, provides some Open House tips and guidelines).
So, whether you organize and attend them or not - you likely know somebody who does and might find this useful. ;-)
Enjoy,
Tim
P.S. - click here for full access to the Open House Follow-Up Scripts mentioned in the infographic.

home improvement: Double Your Efforts. Double Your Listings.
- 12/19/17 01:01 PM
Hi ActiveRainers,
Quick question - are you employing everything you're professionally equipped with to boost your chances that homeowners will list their home with you, when they're ready?
Seizing the opportunity to initiate conversations and provide what they need, when they need it, will undoubtedly keep you memorable and in their good graces. By reaching out and going the extra mile, you have nothing to lose - only loyal home sellers (and listings) to gain.
Have a wonderful week,
Tim

home improvement: Secret To Doubling Chances They'll Sell With You. (Holiday Tip #5)
- 12/15/17 02:55 PM
Hi ActiveRainers,
Yes. It's very possible to double your chances a homeowner will list with you down the road.
How?
Simple. Delivering any home care resource they need to feel fulfilled in their home (ex: HVAC, landscaping, roofing, plumbing, flooring, cleaners, etc.) keeps you extra memorable, wouldn't you say? Be an "all things real estate" agent/realtor/broker, and you got this.
Need a conversation starter to get the ball rolling?

home improvement: Home Staging: Make It Or Break It.
- 12/12/17 01:40 PM
Hey ActiveRainers,
I decided to open up a topic that's already been extensively covered (yet unyielding in it's importance): essential home staging tips.
We all know staging can (seriously) make or break a deal - thus, our need to underscore proper advice and empowering guidance.
When you have a quick moment, feel free to check out the infographic I created below. I'd love to hear your feedback and find out if there's anything in particular I missed in terms of preparation and coverage.
Do you agree and/or disagree with any/all of these?
What did I leave out that you find imperative in the process?

home improvement: Give Knowledge. Receive Trust (And Listings).
- 11/28/17 02:17 PM
Hey there,
Tim here, how was your Thanksgiving?
Aside from pies, I hope you were able to slice out some rest and recovery time.
Quick question – do you think it’s really better to give than to receive?
Well, I guess it depends on what you’re giving – right?
This #GivingTuesday, ask yourself:
Am I habitually providing (giving) my leads and clients what’s relevant and necessary, in order to gain (receive) what’s important, beneficial, and professionally fulfilling to me?
More of a Listing Agent?
– GIVE sellers home values so they’ll turn to you when they’re ready to list.
– GIVE homeowners (your prospective sellers) home care resources so they’ll keep you on their radar for everything real estate.
– GIVE them a quick phone call explaining why … (0 comments)

This is a side note to see if posting enough words on this blog post will make it worthy of earning points. I don't know why ActiveRain won't provide points to blog posts with infographics that feature extensive, helpful content. Do you understand why? If so, let me know. :-) Okay, that was 58 words.
P.S. - the word count worked. :-)

home improvement: Homeseller Outreach Challenge.
- 09/19/17 02:10 PM
We have written the scripts (as conversation starting points and/or complete navigations).
You have the contacts (hopefully safely stored in your personal CRM).
What we propose:
Call 1-2 homeowners (i.e. – your potential homesellers) each week.
Having in-hand conversation-starters and content to smoothly navigate through phone calls can undoubtedly lessen your anxiety and improve the quality of your relationships.
However, the trick is (obviously) to not come off as “scripted” in your tone and delivery. Be professionally casual and honest. Ad libbing is a nice touch, too! Need someone to “rehearse” with? We’re all ears.
What to have handy:
– Your Homebrella network: essentially … (1 comments)

home improvement: How ‘Bout That Weather? (+6 Signs It’s Time To Sell)
- 09/12/17 02:09 PM
Weather across the nation has been rather…volatile (yeah, that’s putting it mildly).
From Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose, to intermittent thunderstorms during a 107°+ heat wave in the local San Francisco Bay Area - weather is a hot (and somewhat terrifying) topic these days, to say the least.
You care about your clients, right?
Then, why not express it more often and at every relevant, honest chance you get (i.e. – in light of these bizarre weather patterns, show some urgent, genuine concern for folks’ well-being as we head into an unpredictable fall/winter season)?
What does that mean and look like?

home improvement: List More Homes By Being A Source Of Gratitude & Trust.
- 07/19/17 02:39 PM
Tim here, with another quick, empowering, listing-oriented marketing tip.
A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that once homebuyers become homeowners, they can expect to spend an extra, whopping $5,000 on home care, renovations, improvements and “surprise costs” (i.e. – issues surrounding plumbing, leaks, roofing, repairs etc.)* (Full story: https://goo.gl/E95CC5)
This is it. Your chance to, once again, deliver the goods, save the day, and secure a listing or more in the process.
Making this transformation of a “house into a home” isn’t easy. So why not help make it as affordable and convenient for folks as possible? It’ll do nothing but boost your chances … (0 comments)

home improvement: Extra listings are just a matter of care (home care, that is).
- 05/01/17 03:35 PM
Happy May,
Tim here, with another listing-oriented tip to kick-off a new month!
Did you know...
"Homeowners are spending nearly 60 percent more on home improvement projects than a year ago, despite a climate of economic and political uncertainty...
The rise in home values has boosted consumer confidence, as well as people’s sense of their own financial well-being. And that sometimes translates to big home improvement projects." *
So, what are you actively doing to capitalize on this trend?
Here’s an idea...
Homebrella lets you deliver the service providers everyone needs to initiate and complete home care projects, while simultaneously increasing the odds … (2 comments)
