Arboretum in Dallas by White Rock Lake 

How is it that some agents just stand out among the rest?  They are top producers, well known, attract business like a magnet?  At a glance they are strikingly visible. Give yourself this edge by resurfacing yourself and your business.

Image - A distinct identifiable trait in your business - a brand that your name is easily identified.

•  Image can relate to your marketing materials - color choices, style.

•  Logo, slogo- when viewed or read identifies immediate with you.  Example - Just do it!  You think of Nike. 

•  Feature - tools to bring attention.  One Realtor hung red shoes over every for sale sign and called herself the Red Shoe Lady.  When you drove by you immediately knew her listings.  Hats - The Hat Lady of Dallas - when you saw a lady with a hat you knew it was her.   

Professional Presence - being involved with varied organizations in the real estate industry and also outside with charitable activities and networking groups.

•  Be visible by involvement with varied organizations. 

•  Be selective on where you will devote time and commit to full involvement.  Don't just be a casual attendee but a reliable member and involved with varied responsibilities. 

•  If you commit to a position then do it well and right.  Being a reliable one demonstrates that you are attentive to your business and organized.  If you do a poor job the results will be damaging to your image.

•  Seek opportunity to speak at functions or teach classes.  Visibility is created and respect is earned.

Character- the judgment others will have regarding your personality and integrity. 

•  Be the Realtor others love to work with.  Treat all with professional courtesy.

•  Energy is contagious and brings a positive attitude... always.  Be uplifting and give a smile away.

•  Serve on ethics committees, panels, etc.  Stay on top of the industry rules and be known as the one who others ask input because of your experience.

To be visible takes action.  Action to design your business to reflect your personality and recognition, action to be involved, action to bringing a positive attitude that spreads the energy and uplifts.

I love that photo so beautiful, I love the idea of hanging the red shoes over the sign I never thought of little things like that when promoting your brand.

Hi Connie - These are great tips.  I have been using the motto:  "Happy Clients make me happy" on my blog, facebook site, and marketing materials, and I do think it has an impact on folks because I hear from them that I do live up to my motto.

Always excellent points you offer Connie! It's funny that you mention the "Red Shoe Lady", someone at my networking meeting this very morning told me he just met this Realtor yesterday and he said she was in need of a stager... I may get to meet the Red Shoe Realtor pretty soon ;-)

Kristin - Summer is just around the corner.  Spring is great in Texas, summer gets just HOT!

Karen - point made, you remember the little things and it stands out.

I think you have hit several nails on the head with a single hammer.  Attitude is perhaps the one thing that does resonate the loudest.  Exude warmth and people will be srawn towards you.

Hello Sunshine !

Yet another one I can align with !!!

  • Be the Realtor others love to work with.  Treat all with professional courtesy.
  • Energy is contagious and brings a positive attitude... always.  Be uplifting and give a smile away

These 2 are huge parts of my creed, and 2 that I believe hae served me well over time.

You sure we're not related ?????

...lol...

Cheers Connie !

Sheldon

PS: I have a 'smaller' Japanese Maple in my front yard, and I love hovibrant it becomes in the spring time with it's burgundy hues...and your picture of the large one is gorgeous !

Connie, you are exactly right: Energy is contagious! I am writing that as one of my blog posts this week. I have a lot of it and so people are naturally drawn to my charisma

You and I would make a great team. Too bad we didn't meet 30 years ago. Of course it would have been difficult for me working with a five-year-old, but I bet you were a smart five-year old. LOL
