sellers: Zillow FAIL & "Freaking Out" Over Low Inventory.
- 05/18/17 03:14 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
Tim here, with a couple news articles that caught my eye - would love to hear your thoughts!
First off – looks like Zillow is in hot water.
An excerpt from an article entitled “Zillow Advertising under CFPB fire sets real estate industry on edge”: "Why would a new-media company founded to, as it says in its mission statement, 'empower' customers with new ways of shopping for and maintaining a home cling to an outdated way of doing business, rather than trying to disrupt it with a newer, better model?"

sellers: Time To Get Motherly (Re: Reclaiming Lost Listings)
- 05/12/17 01:21 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
Tim here, ready for the weekend?
Reminder – this Sunday is Mother’s Day, which can evoke feelings of warmth, nurturing and contentment (i.e. - feelings your leads, clients, buyers and sellers should ALL experience, before, during and after any and all interaction(s) with you). Of course, there's a fine line with the nurturing part - you don't want to come off overbearing, needy, or suffocating.
I suggest getting traditionally "motherly" (i.e. - of, resembling, or characteristic of a mother, especially in being caring, protective, and kind).
Carefully delivering what's relevant to folks, protecting their own interests, and holding a consistently kind demeanor - will … (0 comments)

sellers: Buyers Today. Sellers Tomorrow. #NoRegrets
- 05/04/17 04:03 PM
Tim here, with a few thoughts on "buyer's remorse" (i.e. - beholding heaven and feeling hell).
"Buyer's remorse (or buyer's regret) is the sense of regret after having made a purchase; frequently associated with the purchase of an expensive item such as a car or a house. It may stem from fear of making the wrong choice, guilt over extravagance, or a suspicion of having been overly influenced by the seller." - Wikipedia
We all know what it's like. The after-the-fact regrets cause unneeded stress and frustrations.
Your homebuyers are no different.
Wouldn't it be nice to deliver exactly what they're looking for at a price they can afford, and prevent all … (2 comments)

Happy May,
Tim here, with another listing-oriented tip to kick-off a new month!
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...

Howdy,
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).

- 04/03/17 03:53 PM
*Don't let scenes like this unfold amongst your leads and clients. Catch up on this week's marketing tip.*
Happy Monday ActiveRainers,
We have a feeling that many of your leads are thinking about using a family member or close friend as their next real estate agent.
It makes sense. We get it. It's natural to seek assistance from those closest to us. I mean, why would folks ever risk working with an agent they found online - when they have trustworthy experts directly at their disposal?
Turns out there are a lot of reasons...
Here are some tips you can forward to them to convey why they should choose you instead.

sellers: Let's Double Your Chances They'll Sell With You.
- 03/23/17 04:48 PM
Irrespective of our heavy reliance on digital exchanges (via email, text or Facebook) – verbal communication with folks still matters. Your sellers are no exception. If anything, they need to hear your voice and/or see you in-person more than anyone else.
What better time to connect than during a weekend Open House, community event, or quick call over-the-phone? Let’s take a gander at how you can navigate conversations in a thoroughly strategic, fulfilling and memorable way for both you and your homeowners (your prospective sellers).

sellers: Your Seller-Worthy Website.
- 03/23/17 02:24 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
Tim here, with a quick reality check: your website doesn't have to be perfect. What it does have to be, though, is worthwhile.
A worthwhile website. Cool concept. But let's break it down, word for word:
Worthwhile: adj., worth the time, money, or effort spent; of value or importance.
Website: noun, a connected group of pages on the World Wide Web, maintained by one person or organization and devoted to a single topic or several closely related topics.
Your AccelerAgent Website should be:
WORTH the money of your precious marketing funds...
WORTH investing the precious time and effort to represent you as an "ALL things real estate" agent...
WORTH the visit of every precious client by providing resources for ALL (homeowners sellers, buyers and leads).

sellers: Your Missed Listings - Retrieve Them, This Spring.
- 03/21/17 02:48 PM
Howdy,
Tim here, with a quick (seller-related) heads up for springtime...
As you begin your Spring cleaning at the office - you may find that you're missing a few things - namely, listings. And I mean missing in the true sense of the word: "adj. not able to be found because it is not in its expected place; not present or included when/where expected or supposed to be. "
Your missing listings are just that - not in their expected place, and not where they're supposed to be (i.e. - in YOUR hands).
Consider Seller's Corner your automatic finder of lost listings - your lost and found resource to prevent low inventory. … (2 comments)
