Get the word out about your Blog.... It brings business

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Compass

 

Looking for a way to    to your sphere about your blog.... I have found that a good  way is to summarize your blog articles in a letter.  This will tell everyone what you have been doing for the last month.  Your sellers will appreciate that you are advertising theirlistings, your leads will get it that you are knowledgable in the area, your friends will enjoy the reading and your mom will be proud..... It's a win win for everyone.  Everytime I send this type of letter out to my client base.... I hear from a long lost client who has real estate needs. 

 

Here's the letter..... copy it, plagiarize it, do whatever you want with it.... It works

Dear clients, past clients, future clients, family and friends, 

Many of you who have received my blog in the past... and have  been wondering why I haven't sent it to you lately.  No reason other than I didn't want to inundate your email box on a consistent basis,  so for that reason if you would like your name to be removed from my mailing list, just email me and it will be removed in an instant.

If you would like to read my latest blogs, you can click on the following links of the articles you would like to read.    I have written  lately about the award winning debate team and chess team at Stevenson,   great activities for kidsrelocating to Long Grove, Buffalo Grove Closed Real Estate Sales, have the golf itch yet?

I have also posted about my new beautiful Long Grove listing with an indoor pool ,  a spectacular ranch Long Grove listing in the most gorgeous pond setting, and an unbelievable Long Grove listing in Royal Melbourne. 

From all that you are reading, you may think that the market is horrible.... If a home is marketed, staged and priced correctly, the buyers will find the value in it immediately.  I recently sold a home in Vernon Hills in 5 days.  The seller couldn't be happier with my marketing efforts.

if a home does not sell in this market for various reasons, you may consider renting the home for a period of time.  One of my sellers is receiving $3000 a month for 2 ½ years and another received $5000 a month for a short term lease.  In this market you do what you have to do.  If you know of anyone interested in renting a home, I have a lot of renters who want to move to the area, but the corporations that they work for, do not want them to buy a home.

I am currently listing 2 rentals in Buffalo grove, if you know of anyone looking for a townhome to rent.  The first rental is across from Stevenson Highschool in the Waterbury place .  It is only one year old and beautiful.  The other rentalis located at 1146 Courtland in Buffalo Grove.  This townhouse rental is also great!

If you would like to see what I'm doing in my free time, don't hesitate to click on my blog Blurbs from the BurbsAlso, please feel free to make comments on any of the blog posts. 

f you know of anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area, please let me know..... a referral is the greatest compliment.

Judy.... Looks a lot easier than putting together a newsletter.  I'll put that in the back of my mind and try it sometime.

Judy, as usual your ingenious self comes up with a great combo of pointing people to your blogs, reminding them of your listings and your services, and telling them about the market. The last one everyone is interested in even if they are not buying and selling. Good stuff!!

Thanks Gary,  You are my biggest fan... I already received a potential home listing and rental listing from this letter.  I will probably do it on a monthly basis.

Hi Judy,
Hmm, have not sent my blog to clients...just know how much junk people get in there email and did not want to add to it (not that my blogs are junk!) but maybe I'll give it a try with a letter similar to yours and see how it goes.  Thanks for food for thought.
