baltimore jewish times: All About Advertising The Rome Way
- 11/02/22 06:56 AM
I am thankful for my print advertising and how sellers find me.
There is a lot of information loaded in this one advertisement. My current properties are listed; there's a 'Too Late' and a 'Sold,' and there are homes that I need for buyers. There's still room for my radio show, logo, website info, and phone numbers.
There is a subtle mention of 'carving' out time, hoping to hint at Halloween and Thanksgiving... using the fall colors for this time of the year.
How much can you get into an ad?
It's all about advertising and I am thankful.

baltimore jewish times: SELLING IN THIS MARKET
- 10/10/22 09:06 PM
How To Sell in Any Market
I've recently been asked what works to sell listings in today's market. For me, it comes down to a few simple but powerful practices:
1. Start by giving - make it easy for anyone to get information. My website allows any visitor to search all listings - not just mine - without having to give personal information first. Buyers can see what's available in the areas they are interested in. But savvy sellers also use this to see what's happening in their neighborhood. And then, I make it easy for a visitor to get in touch with me … (13 comments)

baltimore jewish times: Print Media Goes Viral
- 05/08/20 05:09 PM
It’s my job to let you know I’m in real estate. It’s not your job to remember.
Marketing with consistency has always been essential...now even more.
Over the years I have heard “no one’ reads print anymore.
Pleased to say it fell on my deaf ears. When selling your home, whether under a hundred or over a million, you deserve the same quality treatment. You talk with me, appointments are made by me, you know who is seeing your home,
and at what time. You then talk to me after showings.
Your house will be blogged before it hits the market and numerous times during … (22 comments)

baltimore jewish times: Diary Of Anne Frank
- 05/23/19 08:03 PM
Last evening I had the opportunity to attend the reception and special performance of
The Diary Of Anne Frank
This production recognized the Greater Baltimore cultural institutions that participate in "Baltimore's Spring of Remembrance" and to honor the
100th anniversary of the Baltimore Jewish Times.
Moving, mesmerizing, intense, I was totally immersed in this beautifully performed play.
Prior to the show, I had the incredible experience of a virtual reality tour.
This was accomplished through the use of a Oculus VR headset which allowed me to "walk through" three-dimensional spaces that re-created the Secret Annex where Anne Frank and seven others were in hiding for two years.

baltimore jewish times: Why Do You Use Those Too Late Signs FAQ
- 06/06/17 03:37 PM
Love using those "Too Late" signs.
When preparing print media advertising I just write changes on the ad copy.
For me this was a simple way to keep track. The changes could include a price adjustment, rewording, change in banner heading, removing, adding or changing a property location. I would also write 'Sold' or "Too Late" or "Coming Soon" with a black marker.
On listing appointments I would have a few back issues to show my marketing plan. In front of the potential clients, I took out a pen and wrote directly on the ad Too Late, Sold or would even draw an X on a released or … (49 comments)

baltimore jewish times: How Much Can Go In An Ad
- 06/14/16 12:03 PM
Bob was talking about dead space in advertising and that made me take a look at my own weekly print advertising.
There is a lot of information in this ad...and not much dead space.
Notice the advertising above shows homes for sale, homes that are 'Too Late', new listings and an Open House.
There is also a section for buyers looking for specific properties.
The ad shows my tag line, my email, my website, my book, my latest MCNE designation and my weekly radio show.
My number is in more than a dozen times...making my phone ring and keeping my pipeline full.
Not everyone uses the internet, not … (8 comments)

- 02/05/12 01:35 PM
Can Using Color Help Sell Homes in Baltimore? Many factors go into selling a home including things like pricing, photography, internet presence, presentation, marketing, condition and ease of making appointments. I have decided to experiment...Can using color help sell homes in Baltimore?
My favorite color is sort of a non color. I love the color brown. But when it came to advertising my listings..I wanted the color to stand out against backgrounds of black and white. My "For Sale" sign is red so I again chose RED for my real estate advertising. I have always used black and white … (16 comments)
