New Slideshow

Have I said this before: I LOVE TECHNOLOGY! Seriously, I am in love with it. I get most excited over finding applications and ideas that are easy and truly useful. Where is this going?

I've recently (today) added a flyer/postcard/misc. slideshow to my blog page. It's awesome! I can't wait to add more to it as I do more work.

I know what you are thinking - "Why do I care?" Well here's my thought:

On your own webpage you could add a slideshow of your featured properties or maybe on your testimonials page add a slideshow of satisfied customers. Pictures are worth 1,000 words. Make those pictures work for you.

Need more info on setting up a slideshow for your webpage? Call or email me.

Any Farmers Out There?

Farming works. I hear it told time and time again that when agents farm an area they receive a welcomed response - REFERRALS AND LISTINGS! You know you want referrals and listings so if you aren't farming, why? Is it because:

  • You don't have the time to come up with an idea for a mailer?
  • You don't have the time to design a mailer?
  • You don't have a farm list set up?
  • You don't have the time to set up a farm list?

If you want to be a farmer but for one of the reasons above haven't dug in, let me help you. I have the systems and knowledge to:

  • Create a farm list - $20/hour (I can usually pull around 300 records/hour)
  • Design a 12-month campaign for your farm area - $100 (or $10 each)
  • Print your mailer (FEES)
  • Process address verification and bulk mail - $20/hour

If you've been thinking of farming but haven't gotten around to it, now is the time. Let's work together for your continued success in 2008 and to take your business to the next level.

Looking to get FSBO listings?

FSBO Marketing

Looking for a new edge this year to get more listings? Tried marketing to FSBOs before with no or little results? Let me help. With my follow up program, you purchase a zip code (only one agent per zip code) and I will:
Look up FSBOs in the South Bend Tribune, MichianaByOwner.com & ForSaleByOwner.com weekly
Send you a list of new addresses & phone numbers, if available
Mail out a PowerPoint presentation customized to your business on CD & printed out in a folder (1st week only)
Send out postcards (weeks 2 and higher)
Set Up Cost (includes PowerPoint Presentation): $150
Cost Per Month: $7/week per listing (includes all printing, postage, postcard creation & labor).

You can cap your cost per month to any amount you wish.

Zip code costs vary but range between $100-$200 per zip code. Email me for a quote on your requested zip code(s). All inactive zip codes will be released for purchase after 3 months.

HURRY! Once the zip code is purchased, it's gone.

The Talking House - 2.0


We've all heard of a Talking House. Here comes the new generation of phone marketing of a listing -

The Texting House.

With Cell Signs, you can assign mobile IDs to your listings. You then place signs outside your listings, showing the mobile ID. Buyers drive by and text the home's ID to receive a message back with all of the details of the house, including pictures.

But it doesn't end there. If they are interested in seeing the house they can request a showing right then and there, request a call back from you, or request a property brochure via email. If the buyer makes any of these requests then you are provided with the buyer's contact information to complete the contact. You get high-interest buyer leads.

I know you want to know how much it costs. As I cruised around the site and got more excited, I prepared myself to be shocked at a high price. I was pleasantly surprised.
3 Signs - $25/month
5 Signs - $30/month
10 Signs - $50/month
There is a set up fee in the amount of 10x the number of signs (so $30 for 3 signs, $50 for 5 signs, $100 for 10 signs).

If you've been wondering how to set yourself apart from the crowd, this may be a good option for you this year.
