Fish Net for Closings

 

One sure way to catch more real estate closings is to cast a wider net.  Over this summer I decided to spread my marketing efforts over several offices and enlarge the geographic area that I am covering.  It may seem like a simple idea, but it is something that I rarely take the time to do.  This concept relates to Realtors and Lenders as well as Real Estate Attorneys.

Another idea that I have been trying to run with (if I may extend this fishing analogy) is to be flexible and use different bait.  Today refinances are hot, so I am running a refinance special.  For the last couple of years and years to come, short sales will be hot, so I am promoting my short sale services.

Lastly, I fish more often!  Taking potential business sources to lunch and maintaining existing relationships at least once a week is a healthy way to keep in touch with current sources and to gain new ones.  You can't skimp on the advertising budget - if you are not casting out, you are not going to catch anything! 

So, if you are a customer of mine and I haven't called you in a month , drop me a line and we can catch up on all the hot spots in the real estate waters. . . !

I hope the fish keep biting, or should I say find their way into your net? Good luck.
