A 10-Minute Self Promotion Tip

Reblogger Winston Heverly
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Access Realty 433494

Pat, consistently has so many great posts and most importantly is terrific about sharing it to us Rainers and beyond. This article has new & exciting information for all the readers to take advantage from. I, myself will be anxious to learn from it! So many times I write blogs and really don't think that it gets the impact that it should. So I love to see re-blogs of popular posts. Thanks again for sharing.

Here's an easy self-promotion tip you might want to implement in your area. My newest listing is in an older development that requires a certain type mailbox with the post painted a specific shade of green. I keep a gallon of paint on hand, and whenever I list a home in this neighborhood, the post gets a fresh coat of paint. It's a 10 minute investment that yields maximum benefits. (And yes, I can paint the post in 10 minutes!)

 

Some Realtors may think it isn't our "place" to do this. I've seen arguments  discussions for either side saying we shouldn't water the grass, gather the mail or perform other menial tasks for the seller.

 

Why not? The seller appreciates it, the neighbors see me working in the neighborhood and it gives me the opportunity to pass out flyers and business cards. 

 

They recognize me as the go-to Realtor of the neighborhood. And that's fine by me.

 


 

 

What about you?

 

 

Do you have tips that set you apart from the crowd that you're willing to share? Let's brainstorm and see if we can grow our business with some creative ideas.

The fresh coat of paint might kick in to some people and their senses of freshness and a new quality

It is what sets me apart from the rest.  My sellers are mostly from out of town. This gives them peace of mind. I check listings once a week and sweep and trim and dust if necessary.

Pat is one smart cookie! Anything you can do to show you are above and beyond the rest of the Agents in your market, is always worth it. I would add she should have someone else take a photo of her doing these odd jobs and post them on FB for everyone to see...

Write what you know and don't worry about the impact. Buyers need local information and market statistics. That's your edge.

I think it's a great idea.  To think we are too good for a simple job like this is sort of ridiculous.  Whether or not we are Realtors, it's a nice thing to do for somebody else.
