Six Things a Real Estate Agent or Broker Should Consider During the Winter Holidays

Just a few marketing ideas to throw out there.

Think about Podcasting. You can do video or audio podcasts to add to your website to draw interest. You can email podcasts, you can market properties with podcasts.  Posting listings on free sites i.e. craigslist, facebook marketplace, postlets, etc...

Working on drip email campaigns.

Market the neighborhoods as well as the home.

Keep you sites up to date and be sure the photos load quickly. Always include as many photos as possible and virtual tours. People want to be able to attend an "open house" via the Internet.

Make your listing copy appealing.  Instead of "a two bedroom log home with pond" try something like This home is located on a peice of paradise, imagine the long summer days relaxing around your own private pond as you watch the wildlife... " you get the idea.  Your discribing someones  dream instead of a peice of property.

Check your sites often to be sure they are behaving properly, one quick way to lose a prospect is to make them wait.

Happy New Year, 2009 is going to be great!
