Listing Is All About Guiding The Homeowner | It's All About Them !!

My mission today was to start redesigning my postcards to homeowners in search of new inventory. We need to restock the listing shelves.  Everyone knows that a market analysis is free, so it’s time to change that message.

The message they must clearly understand is what we do is “for them.” It’s all about their needs. We work for them and will deliver them from point A to point B with a smoothly run transaction.

With inventory so slim, all homeowners are very concerned they will not have a roof over their heads. They are not worried about selling. They panic about not finding the right home, and they do not want to make two moves.

 

Our first step is to meet with the homeowner and discuss all of the options; provide a market analysis; and based on that estimate of equity in the home, have them pre-approved for the right price range.

Without an invitation to meet, our pending sales will not be replaced by new listings. One step at a time, and the first step is to understand their situation and financial ability to make that next move.

These are the three postcards I created today. The backs of the postcards will have logos, slogan, photo of tammy and the address and telephone number.

Our business is constantly changing, and our marketing must follow suit.

BarbaraT- another great example of marketing like you mean it. I'll bet you hit home with many sellers who are concerned about selling and having no home to go to. They hear about slim inventory and worry that they will sell and have nowhere to go.

Barbara, I always smile when I see new agents counting their chickens aka commissions instead of focusing on the client and their needs...Endre

Hi Barbara... I have always approached this from it being all about the homeowner/seller. When I trained new agents I always told them that the prospective seller did not care about us or our company until they knew what was in it for them. Once we answered those questions, then they cared about finding out more about us.

Barbara Todaro this is so important in our area too with slim inventory in many price ranges...it is time to deliver a 'shake up' the message line & then deliver.

The hunt is on and keeping a high profile as listing agents is crucial to success during periods of thinventory...and ALL the time...she said to the choir.
