DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

 

Say your phone's not ringing?  Ads generating no interest in that fantastic new listing that has just been sitting there with zero showings?  Maybe you need to stir up your imagination, as two of our REALTORS have recently in Shell Knob, MO

First a little background on our part of the Ozarks - March and April have given us record rains.  All of our lakes are at flood stage and seem to be destined to remain there until summer.  This means that many residents and tourists can't get to their boats because the docks are sitting away from the shore.

 

One subdivision has had the only road into it submerged for several weeks.  That means getting all supplies, etc. by boat.  And of course, all the properties for sale in that area are unable to be shown.  Here is where an area agent used her imagination.  She is showing her properties by motoring her clients in via a small boat!

She even got her picture on the front page of our small weekly paper sitting in her boat!  How's that for finding a way to stand out from the crowd, AND to get some free publicity!

 

 

My manager at Tri-Lakes REALTORS is the other agent daring to be different.  While on a cruise last winter, she had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins.  She took a neat picture of her and her dolphin buddy, and made it into a billboard on the edge of town, with the slogan "EVEN THE DOLPHINS LOVE DONNA" - BOTH DONNA  AND  THE  DOLPHIN  ARE SMILING.

Joan, the REALTORS with the boat & dolphin made good use of the principle that if you're stuck with lemons, make lemonade!
