The Ultimate Aim in Brand Strategy: "Winning At The Listing Table!"

3-Minute Video Case Study

On A Market-Leading Santa Barbara Team

 

Getting to the “Listing Table” in the first place is the first goal of brand strategy for luxury real estate marketing professionals. Whoever achieves top-of-mind status in their marketplace or a niche therein has the greatest chance of getting that all-important job interview. But, winning at the listing table is the ultimate goal.

 

What if you were able to instantly demonstrate that you market your competitor's listings better on your website than your competitor does on their own website? That is something that we help our clients achieve when they are challenging a vulnerable market leader.

 

When we work with an incumbent market leader, however, our job as brand strategists is to make sure they out-distance their would-be challengers by demonstrating their superior marketing savvy and their extensive track record.

 

Many times, home sellers make up their mind about which agent or company to hire BEFORE the interview. That is why it is imperative that your website becomes your “silent sales person” demonstrating your extraordinary promise of value before you even arrive at the listing table.

 

Here is a case study of an incumbent marketing leading team in Santa Barbara, California, headed by Kerry Mormann, known as “The Land Guy”.

 

PS, Thanks to Endre Barath, Jr. who reminded me that I should have their testimonial.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Thank you for your patience, gentle & consistent reminding and positive encouragement. We are very busy and finding the time to work on our team branding and new website felt ominous so thank you again for the support and guidance.”
— Kerry Mormann & Mary Elliot, Kerry Mormann & Associates

Good morning Ron and Alexandra Seigel ,

Once again the power couple shows how they are the marketing gurus!! Love the video and you are right getting to the listing table is the first step but love the idea of showing that I market my competitors listing better on my website than they do on theirs! A flash of brilliance!

Everything about this is luxurious. The sweeping landscapes, the full page photos and slideshows set up for every listing, it all matches this company's stratregy perfectly. And a nod to Endre Barath, Jr. re: getting the testimonial was sweet of you. 

You guys are sheer perfection.

James Dray We started towards the end of the year.  It takes time to gather information and pictures.  The California oak which is the logo was hand drawn by our graphic designer.  The messaging takes time, we have to learn the market ourselves as if we were working it.  Given our real estate experience, we are quick studies.  Selling land involves a lot more info than an home...Our web develoer is just as detail oriented as Ron is, so when it went live, it was perfect...and I am sure that we will be improving in and adding to it.  A

Dorie Dillard that flash of brilliance is Ron and our web developer who created the IDX to do just that.  We don't sell it, it is just exclusively for our clients.  And we never work with a direct competitor of our clients.  Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate them and Ron was thrilled you said that.  A

Kathy Streib A website is very much like a well staged home.  So many RE websites are cluttered with information, bad photography and poor messaging.  And consumers do not want to be identified with that.  And they will not choose that agent to list their home or hire them to buy a home.  A
