list: Your Listings: Strike While Iron & Market Are HOT.
- 06/02/17 01:34 PM
Tim here, with some good news (re: your listing opportunities) as we head into June. As we reported last month - Zillow has been under fire and faces a lawsuit based on their misleading Zestimates. Home values and resources for your homebuyers and homesellers should be accurate and reliable. Zillow is, clearly, NOT the answer. It's time to strike while the proverbial iron - and housing market - are hot. Zillow is down for the count. And your chance to deliver what your homeowners need in order to sell with you is readily available. Want to get started?

Tim here, and I'll just honestly cut to the chase: I want to see you sell more homes, this summer. Are you willing to let me help you?
I came across some news today that caught my eye (in terms of it's potential to garner more listing opportunities for you)...
The U.S. Commerce Department reports that "sales in the category of building materials and garden equipment supplies for the first four months of 2017 are up 5.9 percent from 2016... a huge increase in the amount of homeowner equity stimulates home-improvement activity [and] makes people feel richer, wealthier and more inclined to invest … (0 comments)
“Housing inventory has reached historic lows across the country, and competition is heating up.” “There are 3% fewer homes on the market than there were a year ago.” (Source: https://goo.gl/l71hcT)
“Homes are also spending less and less time on the market.” “Nationally, it takes an average of 103 days for a home to sell, compared to 144 days in 2010.” (Source: https://goo.gl/l71hcT) Chill out and give your inventory a boost this summer, with technology designed in the heart of the nation’s most competitive, and hottest (seller’s), market.

Tim here, wanted to wrap up the week (and head into Memorial Day) with some good news (re: Zillow facing another comeuppance).
An article I read today, entitled Zillow real estate Zestimates under fire, reports “…an Illinois real-estate broker filed a lawsuit based on the Zestimates and their accuracy…saying that potential buyers will look at the Zestimate compared to the actual market price of a house and be misled.
That lawsuit was eventually dropped, but a second one was filed, this time seeking class action status on behalf of several Chicago-area builders that could ‘consist of millions of homeowners,’ … (4 comments)
Tim here, how’s your week going? With inventory at record lows, it’s imperative to secure listing opportunities by any means necessary. Agreed?
This includes targeting the hottest homebuyer demographic in the nation: millennials. The logic behind this? Your homebuyers become your homeowners, and your homeowners eventually become your home sellers. So, let’s start at the very beginning (a very good place to start) – pre-paving more listings by securing more homebuyers (i.e. – your eventual home sellers). Sound good?
A few critical statistics: - “Millennials [are] the nation’s largest living generation.” - “Millennials make … (5 comments)

Did you know... "Homeowners are spending nearly 60 percent more on home improvement projects than a year ago, despite a climate of economic and political uncertainty... The rise in home values has boosted consumer confidence, as well as people’s sense of their own financial well-being. And that sometimes translates to big home improvement projects." *
So, what are you actively doing to capitalize on this trend?
Here’s an idea... Homebrella lets you deliver the service providers everyone needs to initiate and complete home care projects, while simultaneously increasing the odds … (2 comments)
Tim here, and I’m just going to cut to the chase: good things (listings) don’t come to those who wait – they come to those who agitate (their leads and clients).
And when I say agitate, I mean it in the most motivating (NOT irritating) way possible. Agitate: verb, to arouse public concern about an issue in the hope of prompting action. Whether it’s over the phone or in-person, let’s break down the essential resources (and actual things you need to say) to actively agitate and reel in sellers. And keep them.
What to have handy:

list: You're Elected: The Real Estate Neighborhood Expert.
- 11/07/16 08:06 AM
Hi ActiveRainers, Tim here. How've you been? Election Day has me wondering - have you ever thought of your marketing as part of an ongoing election? Like politics - catchy ads and slogans in real estate only get you so far. Your "undecided voters" (leads and clients) don't want sweet talk or short-lived remedies. They want honest answers and lasting solutions to challenges and issues they're facing. What're you doing to rile up your base (your database, that is) of "undecideds?" Well, you can't make someone buy or sell (or "vote" for) you. But you can make them think of you when they're ready to make important decisions (buy, sell & refer)
It's #FortuneCookieDay. Perfect chance to send "digital fortunes" (i.e.- neighborhood home values) to your database of homeowners. Prove your worth, warmth and WISDOM - and they'll list with you. Simple as that. It all begins with Seller's Corner: [http://www.propertyminder.com/sellerscorner] Get a LIVE look at it today: [http://www.propertyminder.com/live-demo] Cheers to limitless fortune this week - and beyond, Tim 408.213.4668 tim@propertyminder.com
