Bookmarking Your Listings
A Few Tips…Advertise listings first – they’re your productEvery 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
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.
Email MarketingBe careful!  Do NOT spam!Allow for opt-in/opt-outDon’t use too much htmlOffer something of value – perhaps partner with a local merchant to offer a discount?Don’t make it all about real estate – hyperlocal is betterYou have 2-5 seconds to catch their attentionDon’t forget your signature!

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.
