THE MARKET IS CHANGING….

SHOULDN’T YOU CHANGE YOUR MARKETING?

 

Let me ask you this, were you planning on calling Realtor.com this week to sign up?

Can I be direct with you? Then by saying this, I am not losing anything, right?

How many listings did you have last year?

Could you work any harder than you did last year?

What percentage of your market are you listing?

How do you do when you get to bat in a listing presentation? 6-7 out of 10

So I would be right by saying If you did get to them you would close them, right?

And obviously you don’t need any help at bat, we just need to get you more at bats.

That means about 98% of you market share is not listing with you, right?

Which could also suggest when homesellers in your community are considering listing their home 98% of them aren’t seeing you.

Let me ask you this, do you think You can reach as many of them as they can reach you.? I mean do you have as much an ability to reach people who want to list, as they have an ability to reach you?

The fact is as more & more consumers are prospecting off the Realtor.com and the Internet, you need to make yourself more available to them,

So why not enable home buyers and sellers to find you on the place where 70% of all home buyers & sellers going…

How will Listing Enhancements help me to generate new business?
Listing Enhancements will assist in creating consumer awareness of my listings because they are designed to:

  •  Differentiate me from non enhanced listings
  •  Increase My Exposure and Branding
  •  Capture Leads
  •  Opportunity to double-end deals
  •  Provide more value to your listings presentations
  •  Justify Commission

This program was designed for personal promotion-oriented REALTORS® who wanted to be just as visible to the consumer online as they are offline. They decided that since 71% of the consumers search for real estate and REALTORS® online, that it was important to them that they have a strong visibility campaign on REALTOR.com®. The other reason why the Featured Agent™ program is so popular, and in fact has already sold out in 35 markets, is because it’s much more cost effective than the offline branding campaigns that many REALTORS® employ like newspapers, brochures, billboards, park benches, and the like.

Before I go any further, are you a believer in personal promotion?

 I can appreciate that, if you felt that by promoting your personal services online it would help you attract more buyers and sellers, would you consider it?
