Yesterday I had the opportunity to give a presentation to a real estate office thanks to Carrie Gorsuch, a Realtor I met at an open house in December. Carrie was fantastic and made all the arrangements for me to come in and talk to agents in her office about my business.
Normally this would terrify me, as I hate to speak in front of a room full of people and this was a large office. But it turned out fantastic! Instead of talking to a room full of people (half of which probably aren't interested) I set up in the conference room a display with pictures and provided muffins and pastries, coffee, etc. I had a little showtime theme going with the headline "It's SHOWTIME - Make Sure Your Listings Get Top Billing".
What I enjoyed the most was agents were able to come in as their time permitted, look at my information, talk to me personally and I was able to tell them what I had to offer, etc. It was really great because there was more interaction with the agents and I truly felt they were interested in learning about staging and my business and what I could do for them. I had a drawing for a free consultation as well. Turns out, Carrie tells me, the gentleman that won was a top producer in the office (how lucky for me!). And to top it off, I walked out of there with an appointment on Monday to take a look at an agents listing. Then I had to run off to do a consultation (more to follow on that one).
