SELS HMZ Sells Homes

 

We were in our garage today with the doors open, cars in the drive, doing some re-organizing.

 

Our neighbors down the street, who we have met briefly but don’t know well, walked by with their dog and noticed my license plate.

 

My SELS HMZ License Plate 

They said hello, commented on the license plate, and wanted to know who the realtor was.

 

We had a brief conversation, in particular about a house across the street that is not on the market but likely will be since the owner recently passed. This is a neighborhood where homes only rarely come on the market.

 

I dropped by their home later with some general information and my business card, and we spent 45 minutes talking about real estate, friends they have who are interested in the single story home across the street, among other friends who are looking, and related issues.

 

Does SELS HMZ sells homes?

 

We’ll see. But it certainly can help create relationships.

 

Anyone use their license plate to market their business?

That is awesome, Jeff.  I'm planning to getting my vanity license plate this year.

You are on target, Jeff. If an agent is seriously seeking success in this business, their marketing machine must be turned on 24/7. No wonder you 'own' the Carlsbad Area!

Jeff, Pretty cool that your plates started the conversation.  No specialty plates for us personally, but I've seen agents in the area with them.

Jeff, I did a blog post a couple of years ago about what your license plate says about your work.  My plate clearly spelled out the big brand brokerage that I was associated with and was a conversation starter...that didn't hurt either.

Good for you. It's interesting to see the numerous vanity plates we have around here. Not all that many are RE and some are pretty hard to figure out.

Jeff you never know what is going to get someone's attention and when it does we need to be ready to act upon it like you were.

I think that SELS HMZ sells lots and lots of homes, and he is certainly a very good networker as well.
