49. A Few Tips… Advertise listings first – they’re your product Every agent should have at least 10 listings they are actively marketing (they do not need to be your listings – ask someone in your office if you can “borrow” theirs). Other things to advertise: relocation packages, first time homebuyers guide, “100 ways to get your home ready to sell”, etc. Advertising “Free CMA” is so 1980’s – be more creative! Must offer something of VALUE! Google yourself and your listings – use Google Alerts
50. And More Tips… Do NOT “scream out” your listings! Posting listings or other “advertising” on your Facebook PROFILE is a violation of Facebook’s TOS. Only use your Facebook PAGE for advertising. If you are not going to engage with the community, don’t bother using social networking sites. Advertise what sets YOU apart from other agents: “All of my listings feature text-to-flyer” and explain why that benefits the consumer. Consistency in communication! Text to text, etc.
51. Email Marketing Be careful! Do NOT spam! Allow for opt-in/opt-out Don’t use too much html Offer something of value – perhaps partner with a local merchant to offer a discount? Don’t make it all about real estate – hyperlocal is better You have 2-5 seconds to catch their attention Don’t forget your signature!

65. 3/29/2010 60 How to film Move slowly. You can always speed the film up to get your scene from one area to another in the finial product. Do not pan the camera back and forth to fast. When coming out of a room back up don’t turn around and walk out. Hold the camera at chest or waist height. The angle is a bit different for perspective. Don’t not focus on windows or the rest of the room will be dark. MOVE SLOW !!!!! Best tip I can give you !

70. 3/29/2010 65 Summary Video is coming to Real Estate. West coast agents are seeing this as the replacement of panoramic photos. Just try it . The worst that can happen is you delete it and hire someone to help you. Video allows you to convey more about the the product than any other form of advertisement.
