Marketing Tips #8 - These tips are really basic.

# 25 is key...this is a visual medium!

Hi Thomas, thanks for your lists (I will go check out the previous ones right away)--sometimes it can be very handy to have such lists in front of you when you decide what the right things are for your listing.  I only have to object to #23.  Don't know about your area, but here, our inboxes are clogged with listing emails, and they are VERY annoying.  I delete most of them right away, because when I have a buyer for a listing, it will show up in my search criteria.  I can't imagine anybody else would feel any different.  The exception of course would be exclusive listings that are not in the MLS.  The problem is only, I wouldn't find them anymore among the other several hundred that are. 

Hey Thomas,

I don't look at the emails I get from other agents. I figure if I need a property I will get it from the MLS. I don't know how efective it is. Maybe if I worked with someone to help them sell their listings and them mine, but other than that if feels like spam to me. I will email agents price reductions if they showed it before.

Also the word compitition should be competition. :]

I use both a virtual tour and lots of photos to draw in buyers. This works especially well with expireds that had poor photos on the MLS and little traffic.

Thomas,

  Thanks for the couple of tips.  I agree that #25 is a top one.  I'm kinda of with Ross on the E-mail thing.  I do not like getting un-solicted E-mails.  It is a time waster for me to delete them.  However, your response was a good one.  Be Aggressive.  If you have the time, then I agree, be aggressive.

Thanks Scott
