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.

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?

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.

Do you still do paper ads?
 
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.

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)
