"Are you looking for a home with a view?"

By
Real Estate Agent 0225218019

There was one point when I was a REALTOR in Florida that all of my listings had a water view.  I had listings with an ocean view, marsh view, lake view and a pond view.

 

I decided to capitalize on this and used the phrase, "Are you looking for a home with a view?" in my print advertising. 

 

This advertising paid off; I had someone who lived on a lake call me to list their house.

 

From this experience, I decided to develope a niche. I began to market myself as a "waterfront property expert".

 

I lived in two different waterfront properties in Florida and Virginia for fifteen years. This experience gave me a definite advantage!

Hi Wayne, it gave me credibility that I lived in a waterfront home too.

Dorie, As soon as I moved to Virginia, I noticed that another agent stole my line!

Water Views are a wonderful thing....you will have to have yours with a "twist" to elevate your market position.

Jim Cheney, it's not hard to find waterfront property when you live on an island in Florida.
