Thanks Debbie...

 

I am so glad that you did a contest for us to work with.  I always enjoy the challenge.

 

The three things that I have picked to grow my business:

 

1.    EDDM  - Every Door Direct Mail.  This is a good way to send and blanket an area with you Media.

I do this when I am in search of a listing in a certain location.  It is with the United post office and is fairly inexpensive.  EDDM.com

 

2.   I plan to hold more open houses.  I think that I want to try a new approach to the Open Houses and that is to Ofer Money and no food.  This is working in our area.  You Hold the oPen house and I do not have the be there.  Just have the agents to unlock the door with the Key Pad and leave a card.  There is a sheet to fill out to give fed back to the seller.  Then YOu draw for the Money.  I attended one like this last week.  More than 30 agents went thru the house and left comments.

 

3.  Online advertising.  I am checking in to several new options that are available.  I will share my knowledge with you once I have picked out the best option for me.

Barbara...It seems to get the agents in the house.  You hope that they will remember it when a buyer comes along.

Ginger Harper,  Open houses can be a great source of business, but in our market, we have to do a lot of them to get results.

Sybil..You are so right. Normally Open Houses are not successful.  You can have a great house, serve a catered meal, offer money in drawings and have 3 people to show up.   You have spent about $500 on food and drawings..                

so I think this new way is the better way to go at this point for me..

Hmm, a new way to do open houses, why did I not think of that! How much money do you offer Ginger Harper and how do you choose a winner.
