Your best Marketing is?

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Austin / Compass 584190

I know that friends, family and those who know, like and trust you are always the best for

getting referrals and activity in your Real Estate Practice.

There are also hundreds, perhaps thousands! of other ways to market yourself and your listings.

What I would like to start here is a community discussion centered around "best practices" for marketing efforts in your business.

In the world there are many deals available and I believe there is always plenty to go around.

In the spirit of helping one another, let's start with what is working best for you. 

I feel the best blogs around are those where there is great interaction so here we go!

No family/friends for me, they all live in Germany so until I expand international I need to get my business the old fashion marketing way. For me the best source for seller leads is facebook ad's that link to a home valuation site. 

Cheap to set-up but expensive to master, once you figure out how people respond to ad's though it can be a gold mine. Second best source for me is refferal, because my team goes a step beyond in everything.

Family and friends aren't alway the best. Most of mine is referral. My goal is to become an addition to my clients family. By the time we are done with the sale or purchase they don't see you as their agent but as family. 

Have A Wonderful Blessed Day!!!

Barb Siegwalt ... Oh I LIKE this idea!  I can learn from the comments and thoughts offered.  But personally, I think my best marketing is simply doing my job thoroughly, in my clients' best interests, and ... as well as I can.  Nothing gets me more business than that ...

One of my all time favorites is simply the phone. I love calling on my sphere and letting them now about what I am up to and finding out what i can do to help them. We use many Social Media tools such as FaceBook and YouTube along with a couple of websites but the phone is still my favorite!

When it comes to dollars earned it is video hands down. Much of this has to do with the superiority of multi-media, and also the domination of the app world. Think of a video on youtube.com or facebook as a blog with dynamics and face to face reality.
