thomas santore: You need to stand out from the crowd!!!!
- 11/27/13 09:12 AM
You need to stand out from the crowd!!!! You can not please everybody, but you need to be relevant in your marketing to the clients you want to attract. Your brand is your promise. A successful brand is a promise delivered. You better make sure you can deliver on your promise. Always surround yourself with colleges and friends that are more successful than you. You should always have and optimistic view of what ever you are doing. An attitude of I can will go pretty far in any business atmosphere. (0 comments)
thomas santore: Got approval on a short sale, and an accepted offer on a foreclosure!!
- 11/27/13 08:41 AM
Got approval on a short sale, and an accepted offer on a foreclosure!! This year this type of business has been 40% of my business. In past years I have done some, but not as big of a chunk of the overall year. Our area is not none for a lot of this product, but it seems like the market here is changing to include more of these homes. If so, I should do very well, as I specialize in foreclosure's and short sales. Is this the same in your part of the country? (0 comments)
thomas santore: If you are selling your Vacant Land--BEWARE OF END USERS
- 11/26/13 03:35 AM
If you are selling your Vacant Land BEWARE OF END USERS (people who think they can build their own home with no experience) that make offers on your property but have no idea what they are getting into. They tend to make offers more than it is worth, then you think that is the value, then someone with experience make an offer and you think it is not enough. Your agent should do some research on the buyer to find out if they seem capable of following through with the deal. (18 comments)

When ever you are out and about, let people know you have a Real Estate Practice. Everyone is interested in Real Estate. More listings are gotten this way then you would think!
Always have your business cards on hand. I always give out two-three to everyone. It is one of the cheapest forms of advertising.
If you are with a national brand you should use the brands identity and tie it (4 comments)
Had a cma today and when I went through my marketing plan the clients asked why I did not list any paper ads.
They said that I had the most aggressive internet advertising plan, but "where are the paper ads that the other agents would do".
I showed them the latest statistics on where buyers are coming from.
They said "what about advertisements for open houses" I told them that when I do and open house it gets posted on over (2 comments)
thomas santore: More not so basic tips
- 11/15/13 05:15 AM
More not so basic tips It is very important that when you send anything to a past or current client that you address it to them personally (not occupant) If you can find the time to hand write something it will make all the difference. Items like notepads with your picture and information on them keeps you in their mind. When you sell a home give your buyers some postcards with the picture of their new home on it to send to friends. Remember always include you contact information on them. (24 comments)
thomas santore: Listing your VACANT LAND for SALE can be very trying.
- 11/15/13 04:18 AM
Listing your VACANT LAND for SALE can be very trying. Most agents in the business have never listed or even sold a piece of VACANT LAND. You are going to want and AGENT with EXPERIENCE in BOTH LISTING and SELLING LAND. The first way to do this is to ask them for a list of PAST and PRESENT LISTINGS. If they can not produce these than they are not the right agent for you. The second thing you want is a list of actual sales. This is sometimes more important than a lot of listings because it shows they can (0 comments)

E-mails, we all like to use them. They are fast and convenient, but they require constant monitoring. Put your e-mail address on everything you do and give people and check your mailbox 2-3 times a day.
You should market yourself as the expert in your area. This requires constant direct mail contact with t he information take keeps your potential clients up to date on what is going on in their neighborhood.
All your marketing should have a point you want to get across. (2 comments)
