I just had one of those WELL DUH moments!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Christiansen Group Realty (260)704-0843

My wife Amanda and I are both Realtors here in Fort Wayne, IN.  We work together and are a team,  but we each have our own websites, business cards, and both do our own marketing.  My strength is lead generation and internet marketing/networking, and her strength is her knowledge and ability to read people and really listen to what they are looking for and finding it!  Perfect team right?  Right!

Well, this weekend we had the opportunity to pick an experienced Broker's brain.  Deborah Gillen, Florida Moves, is dating Amanda's father and has been a Broker in Decatur, Illinois for years and has been a Broker in Hollywood, Florida for a year now.  It's a shock that she had any brain left because we SERIOUSLY asked about 100 questions!!  Let's see, 4 days, 100 questions... that's 25 a day!  Thanks Deborah!!

One of the questions she asked us was WHY THE HECK AREN'T YOU MARKETING TOGETHER AS A TEAM???? 

Um... 

Then the LIGHT BULB came on.  Well, to be honest, it flickered at first, then came on. 

We are getting together with a friend tomorrow to have her take pictures of us and then it begins!!!  My big focus has been FORT WAYNE REALTOR JARED CHRISTIANSEN...  well those days are over. 

Here are some of the thoughts I have had: 

Jared and Amanda...  WE work, YOU win

Jared and Amanda... TWO for the price of ONE

Jared and Amanda...  It's a good thing Amanda is there to help because Jared is an IDIOT!

Okay, that last one was just for a laugh.  I hope.  :)

I would love to get some input from some more experienced agents out there.  What do you think about marketing as a team?  Any advice, concerns, insights? 

It has been right there the whole time...  just needed somebody to help me see it.  WELL DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not combined the first two: Two for the price of one, we work you win. There is strength in numbers. You both have different skills and with your combined knowledge, working together as a team should work in your favor.

If you are both successful separately, then why not form a team.  I think there is power in numbers and it makes a good argument for a potential seller that there are 2 of you to handle the job.  Good luck!

A team can definately work. You may need to be careful as many couples working together creates tension.

To be honest, I'm not really good with taglines...I'm actually still thinking of my own-maybe you can give ME suggestions.  I liked both of them, but I really liked "Dee's"

Margaret:  Thanks!  I agree about power in numbers!!

John:  Thanks for the input.  My wife and I have ran our business together for 3 years.  We are best friends and business and life partners.  We'll be okay.  ;)

Xinh:  I liked Dee's too!  I really like the "I WORK, YOU WIN" line.  Why not try that?

I don't think I could do this business with my husband, though I love him immensely, but if you two can work together I think you should go for it, And I like "We work..you win" . That's my favorite.
