marketing advice for real estate agents: What I learned about Home Buying from Wedding Dress Shopping
- 11/07/22 04:38 AM
This weekend I went to Boston to wedding dress shop with my daughter. The wedding is November 4, 2023, in Miami so it is time to find a dress! Full disclosure, we set a price that was reasonable - but on the low side if you watch "Say Yes to the Dress." We set off to shop - with Lise Courtney wearing her new jean jacket announcing her soon to be new name! We were a party of four - my daughter, her maid of honor and best friend for twenty years, my daughter's future mother-in-law and me. … (27 comments)
marketing advice for real estate agents: Why You Need a 'Would Sell' List and How To Build One
- 11/25/16 06:24 PM
I heard Ben Kinney speak about a week ago in Towson Maryland and he talked about the books that his team takes to open houses with all the expired listings, the listings of for sale by owners and the would sell homes What a powerful message when you are holding an open house and talking to a potential buyer client if you can demonstrate that you have access to dozens or hundreds of homes not on the market that would possibly match their criteria.

Summer is almost here on the calendar and certainly in DC it feels like summer. The market is starting its seasonal shift. How are you going to keep the phone ringing as buyers and sellers start to make their summer plans and stop thinking about making the big move this year or want to wait until next year. Time to get marketing! Barbara Todaro always has great marketing advice - particularly about off line marketing.
We often read about real estate training for newly licensed agents, but we rarely discuss the necessity of seasoned agents to be … (7 comments)
marketing advice for real estate agents: Trying to Stay Ahead of the Crowd with Marketing
- 06/02/16 08:49 PM
I loved this post by Gabe Sanders because it really highlight the importance of local content and consistency in marketing. Consumers can tell the difference between the big box companies who know nothing about their communities and the local agent who gets the sales closed. I am off to refresh my websites! Trying to Stay Ahead of the Crowd with Marketing It’s actually not that difficult to stay ahead of the crowd with marketing. The key is to do it. No matter what it is. I am constantly amazed by the number of Realtors and other professionals who believe they will just get … (8 comments)

- 08/06/15 11:52 AM
Now that the weather is starting to cool off, it is time to think about door knocking again. John's got some great advice and a slightly different approach that is worth considering (and even adopting!) Thanks for a practical approach that will bring results.... if done consistently! Go out and own that farm! If you are looking for me, I will be door knocking in Kenwood Forest, Chevy Chase, MD! Door Knocking - You're Doing it Wrong
Door Knocking. Ugh. When people are teaching marketing and they discuss "door knocking" they're talking about an approach to meet people … (9 comments)
As an full time and very active Realtor in the DC metro area, I love to write about the DC market, special communities within the market, and new listings, and to connect with other agents in ActiveRain on ways to improve our service to the public and our marketing abilities.
