What Does Your Marketing Contribute To Your Community?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RE/MAX Executive Realty - Happily Retired 104763

                           

Let’s talk “marketing!” All listing agents are “marketing agents,” and when they don’t realize that fact, they become buyer agents! Learn to market. It’s a learned skill!! 

Whether a buyer agent or a listing agent, making the phone ring is the ultimate goal. I was always a listing agent. I’m now fully retired and loving it, but I also enjoy adding my “two cents” to the conversation. 

My daughter, Tammy, runs with the business now.  Her focus is online marketing, but she continues to participate in offline marketing in the form of “print.”  

There’s a mailing and a full-page newspaper marketing piece provided every month. Yes, I use the word “provided” because I define what we do as a contribution to those who live in our marketplace.  

We’re adding a service to those who live in our community. Our service is based on Experience, Education and Dedication. Trite? Maybe, but it’s true, and the magnitude of business reflects it.  

Hone those marketing skills and “provide” them consistently. Whatever your marketing plan consists of, provide it consistently. You’ll be glad you did!!

Good morning Barbara. When you accept the fact that your "contribution" is an "obligation" to be taken seriously, you are on your way! Well put by a true pro. Like you I am enjoying retirement.

I always love hearing your two cents and I believe that your two cents are more valuable than most people's two dollars, haha.

Good morning, Barbara... I've told prospective clients for more years than I can count that they hire me first for my marketing skills and expertise and second for my negotiating skills and expertise. Home sellers often don't realize that what we do is market... ourselves and our listings.

PS your two cents are worth a lot more than that in my mind!

Hello Barbara - information is service.  And when that information is locally based, consistent and knowledgeable - it becomes a valuable source for the community that helps keep the area connected and in-the-know.

H BarbaraT- what you are providing your community is local information that is what any buyer or seller or someone who might be in the future would want.

Well, in MHO, your 2¢ is truly priceless, Barbara - and ALWAYS welcomed! 

As always, I'm in agreement with you and do believe that consistency and pulling in the community in your marketing is so important. Prospective buyers are thirsty for local information - why shouldn't we be the ones to provide that for them?!
