real estate marketing: How Old Are You?
- 10/09/08 06:45 AM
No, this is not going to be a blog on senior citizens or a way to determine your age by what games you play or hobbies you have. I am using the term "Are You Old" in relation to your website. Did you ever get a business card from someone who looks about 19, but when you meet them they look more like 119? The same thing can happen to your website. One of the things that our "cyber big brother" (aka search engines) looks for when ranking sites is fresh content. So, how old are you? Are you fresh, young … (11 comments)
real estate marketing: Hey, Partner – Where’s Your Branding Iron?
- 07/15/08 07:39 AM
Second Self Virtual Assistance - When There Isn't Enough Of You To Go Around! Branding is a centuries old way of marking a person's livestock; no rancher would be without one. The symbol burned into the hide tells everyone around who the owner of the livestock is. No two brands are alike. We don't think about it too much, but all products on the market are branded. There is a distinctive mark indicating who the maker of product is. Are you branding your real estate services? Does your website, blog, business cards, etc. show your brand? A brand can be a … (2 comments)

Whether you are in a slow market or a fast one, whether you have an in-office assistant or work alone, an area that seems to get pushed to the back burner is the all important area of follow-up.

Keeping in touch with prospects and past clients on a consistent basis should be a first priority. Many … (6 comments)
real estate marketing: Remember - Who or When?
- 05/15/08 05:06 AM
Did you ever clean out your desk drawer only to find a napkin, some post-its and business cards with a name and phone number on them but you don't remember "who or when"? Well, the same thing is true for the other desk drawer; someone has your business card or your phone number on a post-it but they can't remember "who or when" either. If you want to be successful in the real estate field, you must remember to remember and you must become remember-able. To put that statement is simple terms: Follow-up! You can use snail mail, email or the … (1 comments)
real estate marketing: What is a Virtual Assistant?
- 11/05/07 06:32 AM
When I get asked what I do for a living, my answer almost always gets the same response - a blank stare. Then the inevitable question, "What's that?". So, I've decided to start telling people I'm a cricket rancher. I may still get the same blank stare and asked the same question; but at least a cricket rancher is something that can be imagined. What do you think of when you hear "Virtual Assistant"? Do you think of the Wizard of Oz hiding behind his curtain? Or, do you think of someone who hangs out somewhere in the universe? Or, someone's that's not … (8 comments)
