Here's what has to be one of the greatest bargains since Lucy Van Pelt in the comic strip "Peanuts" dispensed Psychiatric advice for only a nickle. ;-)

The publishers of REALTOR® Magazine have gathered 1,200 sales tips from the magazine and combined them into a book and are offering it for the bargain price of only $24.95. That's only about 2 cents an idea!

You can order "1,200 Great Sales Tips for Real Estate Pros" online at Realtor.org.

Here's a sampling of what's inside:

"1,200 Great Sales Tips for Real Estate Pros is divided into seven sections-prospecting, selling, staying out of trouble, knowing your market, time management, professional development, and personal growth-covering every aspect of real estate sales."

"23 steps for generating more leads
  • 10 ways to practice real estate lawfully
  • 5 great sources for mailing lists
  • 6 ways to get positive PR
  • 7 tips for working with foreign real estate buyers
  • 8 1031 exchange rules you can't ignor
  • 5 favorite FSBO flips
  • 5 credit mistakes buyers can avoid
  • 7 nice ways to counter sellers' listing objections
  • 7 steps to get out of a slump
  • 10 steps to creating a successful blog
  • And dozens more valuable, practical lists!"

 If only one of these ideas works it could be worth an extra commission or keep you out of a lawsuit; cheap for $24.95

I ordered my copy this morning.

Jim - thanks for this tip!  Somehow I had missed this one, but it certainly sounds like it will be quite useful.

Thanks,

This sounds so canned, give me a break. It seems nothingmore than an advertising stunt.

I don't think it's a book of canned anything Joe but rather a collection of useful tips from past issues; sort of a "Best of Realtor Mazazine" type publication.

For instance here's 12 good "keep in touch" things to do from the current issue

"1. Call your clients within 24 hours of the closing to congratulate them on their sale or purchase.

2. Send a thank-you note one week after the closing emphasizing what a pleasure it was to work with the client.

3. If you're in the relocation business, notify the corporate client when the employee's transaction has closed. Send a thank-you note to the corporation's relocation coordinator.

4. Create a binder for clients containing copies of the paperwork, such as appraisals, inspection reports, warranties, settlement statements, generated during the transaction. They'll remember you, and appreciate the organization, when they revisit this information at tax time.

5. Offer to provide referrals for household services, such as plumbers, electricians, contractors, carpet installers, landscapers, or appliance dealers. Offer a free consultation on the value of a home improvement project using REALTOR® Magazine's annual Cost vs. Value Report.

6. Send a customer satisfaction survey form two to three weeks after the closing to get feedback on customer reactions.

7. Ask client for an endorsement or testimonial letter you can use in your listing presentations and on your Web site.

8. Find out if the client has any friends, family, or business associates who might be interested in receiving a free comparative market analysis of their homes.

9. Remove sold signs, if you're the listing salesperson. Be sure that you repair any damage the signs may have caused to fence or lawn.

10. Set up a client file that includes personal information such as names, birthdays, ages, pets, and hobbies for the client's family.

11. Add your client's name to your newsletter subscription list.

12. Enter the anniversary date of the closing into your tickler file so you can follow up next year with a card commemorating their purchase. Later, you can use this date as a tickler to determine when the customer might be ready to sell. According to NAR research, the average home owner moves every six years. Condo owners move every four to five years."

Do you think if you do some of these things it could lead to more business in the future? I do.

This is a canned answer. It came backso fast you must have an email alert to see what others say.

 

I have read many articles as blogs being nothing more than another form of advertising.

 

If people care so much about helping others give the info away.

You're just a natural born skeptic aren't you??? ;-)

Automatic e mail alerts come back to everyone (who is registered on this site) for every response)

However that answer was 100% an original composition by me and written on the spot just like this one.

Sorry. Newspapermen learn to call a murderer 'an alleged murderer' and the King of England 'the alleged King of England' to avoid libel suits. I am from Benin and now teach English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Clocks personalized and engraved custom engraved award plaques buy now." :p Thanks in advance. Wakanda.

Very nice site. Will sure visit again. I am from Ghana and learning to read in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Wigs or hairs for tongs were mentioned into the synthetic presence with rejuvenative first sorts when charles ii was designed to the protein-ligand in 1660, weaving a unrealistic wig in france." Waiting for a reply ;-), Bonaventure.
