A PERFECT STORM IN REAL ESTATE
What's going on in your real estate marketplace? We have been more busy than I have ever remembered
being in 7 years of real estate. We constantly have appointments, are adding lots of new listings and working with plenty of buyers. This has been such a new kind of market.
When's the last time that you can remember a December, January and February being more busy than your May, June and July? We've run into the perfect storm in the real estate marketplace.
What have you been focusing on to keep your business rolling? For me, I've had to learn how to effectively prospect for new business, practice time blocking, use extra communication to keep frustrated sellers from canceling their listings, negotiate short sales, and keep buyers calm when trying to wait for a short sale and price my listings to sell. This is a market that you need to get creative in. The old ways of marketing just won't cut it.
Some creative ways we market are by:
•· Creating property address website such as www.9MaddenRoad.com
•· Advertising on Blogs and Facebook
•· Networking with other agents
•· Price Watching
•· Property Business Cards
Don't let this market pass you by. Right now is your time to shine and to seize the moment! This is a defining market. Where do you want to come out at? I know for me, it will be the top of the mountain!
BE BOLD!
