How we need to change our Marketing Habits IN MLS

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

Our best ad in remarks in MLS, we have to use that free space much better. It is seen by so many buyers and Agents with Buyers. Here are some tips to improve your awareness of your best ad.

Rule one. Do not leave the same remarks on the listing when it is not selling. You would never repeat an ad in the Newspaper you are paying for that did not pull, month after month. Right?

Two. Write the Ad in the remarks section for the buyer type who will buy that offering, First time buyer, Trade up Buyer, Luxury Buyer, etc. Use first lines as catchy, Great Resale Value, Stop paying rent, Room to grow,

  • FOR YOU AND SELLER ads do not sell homes, agents do 79% of time, any ad copy I write will do three things,
  • 1. Very clearly promote what would attract the buyer. And Not mention what the seller did on his weekend after visiting Lowes.
  • 2 attract the agent with a client for your home, and be assured he or she will  have a good, Creditable showing.
  • 3. Bring buyer to want to ride to our offering and peak his or her interest.

When advertising remember: [1] your ads and remarks in MLS and in classified bought ads should have a finger stopping catchy title or first line." Escape the landlord" "For alert buyers only" Ease the squeeze, " Fix and Save BIG "Bigger things are a phone call away" "STOP Repossession and Save " It should be simple and brief with a good verbal vision of the home, "Custom Crafted New York Colonial" Spacious Cape needs nothing but intercom to find family members" " Rare Easton Find." Brick and Copper, European inspired, Spouse saver kitchen, Chefs gourmet dream kitchen, Winding tree -canopied street. A screened porch made for summer dreaming.

A breathtaking master bedroom, living room with snuggle up fireplace.

 PUT THIS ON YOUR STOP DOING LIST. NEW pipes, new septic, owner goes to Lowes often and does his own work...... Stop selling Mechanicals in home. And drop the new roof, new furnace, new plumbing, new tile, new paint, new driveway, new shrubs, new wires, new gutters, dead end,  , new 220 plugs, alarm system to control thieves in neighborhood, and all those crazy descriptions that sellers love to mention, sure keep them for your brochure and in your notes but  use words that make your phone ring.

 Really at today's prices I am sure the home should have a newer something like a roof or plumbing that works.

 Great Marketers know that you, "Never sell the steak, sell the sizzle"

 Mouse-k-ters sell the new septic, will put your mind at ease along with new roof, new window, new doorbell, new ,new appliances, new pipe etc . It's hard I know, and it's a Habit, I know, but change your mindset, and start not doing what you have been that is more antique than my Great Grandmas, olive press.

  I beg you also to Please learn to use no major abbreviations, NONE! "Garage w/frog 4bds 2bh, lov ldsc lot with trees and new plumb,rf,famrm,fp inliv rm, ((FROG IS FAMILY ROOM OVER GARAGE))

Stop old habits, the last few years so many silly order taking agents got in the business and with the market moving fast we all suffered from the "DUMBDOWN EFFECT, " Lets go back to basic professionalism .
