RE in the Trenches - Episode One

"What's Your Value Proposition?"

Today launches the start of a ongoing series of posts entitled “RE (Real Estate) in the Trenches” and is geared towards addressing current issues and challenges associated with being a licensed real estate professional in today's market.

In this installment, I wanted explore your specific value proposition as it relates to your clients and the communities you serve.

This past year, I had the privilege of chairing the Communications Special Committee for our State association. We spent our time identifying the specific value propositions that are unique to REALTORS, and created some ways to equip our members to intelligently articulate those values to their clients.

Most people who have practiced real estate for a while would tell you that they know their value proposition, but few can actually communicate those values succinctly, and in a way that consumers understand or appreciate.

Your value proposition should effectively differentiate you from other brokers and agents in your market. Sadly, in our business, one needs only to simply answer their phone and they’re already at an stated advantage!

What is your unique value proposition? And how do you effectively communicate and demonstrate that value to your clients?

It kind of extrapolates out to human relationships in general ever more so. :)

Good morning Rich. Your value proposition should be short and sweet while loaded with content. Enjoy your day.

Hello Rich - differentiation is so important especially when it is based on "true value".

Good morning Rich - a similar comment to that is do they really know what business they are in.

Love this post!  You are so right.  Being able to give a 30 second elevator pitch takes practice and the fewer words the better.  Appreciate your photo - timely!

Rich Jacobson Oh yes, I agree 100% on answering your phone and speaking to your clients . I find many agents today do not speak with their clients they prefer to text or let the calls go to voice mail , I f at all possible I answer my phone .
