Taking Photos for Your FSBO Internet Listing

เขียนโดย montana | 01:27

The real estate industry has been revolutionized by the internet where buyers can just sit and click through property listings. As a seller, you need to make sure your listing has photos that show off your home in the best light.

The internet has become the great field leveler for the real estate industry and people selling their home for sale by owner. Over seventy percent of people now use the net to make a list of homes they might be interest in buying. If you want to sell your home and do not have an online listing, you are missing out on a huge market. It is as simple as that.

Listing your home on the web is an important first step, but there is more to it than just slapping up a description. Think about dating sites for a moment. If you go on to one of them, are you going to want to see pictures of the person with the listing? Of course. Well, the same goes for your online real estate listing. You can describe the property till the cows come home, but you will get no interest if there are not pictures. This means you need them and need some advice on how to go about taking them.

First things first. What should you take pictures of? Well, everything. There should be a picture from the street in front of your house, a picture of the backyard and a picture of every room. Don't forget to take a picture of the garage if you have one. Ah, but what about the specifics?

Lighting is one of the biggest issues you need to take into account when taking pictures of your home. You don't need to be an expert to get it right. If a room has light colored walls, take the pictures during the day. The best time is early in the morning or late afternoon. If the room is dark because of lots of wood or whatever, take them at night.

The second thing to know is you should focus on what is in the picture. Don't just start clicking away. Take a look at what you will be shooting. Is there any clutter? Could anything be added that would make it look better? Prepare the room to make the best impression.

Finally, it is highly advisable to take pictures of things that are unique about your home. If you have some interesting architectural detail, include it in a picture and make a note alongside the picture about it. If you have a beautiful spiraling staircase, make sure there is a picture.

As a for sale by owner seller, the internet is a blessing. Post plenty of photos with your listing and you should see very good results.

Real Estate Marketing - Tips to Make Your Listing Flyers a Success!

เขียนโดย montana | 08:22

Every agent needs flyers to market their listings. Over the years, I have created hundreds of flyers of various shapes and sizes. In creating flyers, there are several "best practices" to keep in mind - to save you time, money, and get sales!

Software:

While you can use Word to create a presentable flyer, an actual desktop publisher creates better, cleaner, more attractive flyers. I personally use Microsoft Publisher. Publisher has the same interface as Word, so it's familiar and yet so much more powerful.

Design Principles:

If you have been in Real Estate for any length of time, you have seen a myriad of flyers of various designs. While there is no one perfect way to do a flyer, there are several principles to keep in mind.

1. Photos: Make sure you have at least one photo of the house. Interested buyers are looking at more than one property and they need to be able to remember which one was yours. Ideally, an exterior photo and three or four of the inside should be used.

2. Text: I recommend using bullet points and just highlighting key features. I'd definitely include the price of the home. Sometimes agents try to "force" the potential buyer to call them for a price. Personally, if the price isn't listed I'll pass it up and go on to the next one. The point of a flyer is to entice folks to ask for a showing and for them to remember just what they saw after touring your listing.

3. Contact: While this might seem a no-brainer, make sure those who pick up your flyer have a way to contact you. Using your photo on the flyer humanizes you. Make sure you also list your email and website. If you have a website for your listing, be sure to prominently display that as well. It could be a virtual tour link or even a link to your Postlet.

4. Content: In placing all the above elements on your flyer, make sure you keep it clean and colorful. Add blocks of color behind headlines, or a shadow on your photos. Keep "white space" between photos and text, and line up your photos in a rational manner. By using one base color, no more than one accent color, and keeping clean lines, your flyer will not only be informational but also be attractive and professional.

How To Prospect Expired Listings

เขียนโดย montana | 00:49

Prospecting expired listings can be the core of anyone's business in the real estate field. You can create a system that will give you repeatable results for your effort. Let's look at these three very positive characteristics in prospecting expired listings.

They are easy to find: Expired listings come up everyday, so you will always have a handful that you can work with on a daily basis. They provide a steady stream of new leads to contact for listing appointments. There are also usually a few very heavy days each month. You will need to set your schedule to take advantage of these heavy days. The end of the month is one of the heaviest times for expired listings; up to 25% of the expired listings for the month may occur in just one or two days.

They want to sell: Expired listings were on the market at one time, unlike many other types of clients you will contact. The owners had a plan laid out to sell and move. Unfortunately, their plan did not work out, but, in most cases, they wish it had. There will be some expireds that were listed by clients who are now tired of the process, but the majority of them still want to sell.

The bulk of them are looking for an Agent: If the prospect still has the desire to sell, as most do, then they are searching for a new Agent. They are looking for someone who can solve their previous problem. Most do not know why their home did not sell, but they are frustrated with their previous Agent and sometimes all Agents. They will rarely return to their previous Agent.

The successful way to work expired listings is the CAP system:

Consistency

Attitude

Persistence

The first part is consistency: You must consistently work expired listings. For you to achieve a large return on your time invested, you must work diligently for a minimum of four weeks straight. Expired listings cannot be started and stopped without losing momentum. There is a rhythm and a flow to them. They must be a daily discipline that you work on. If you prospect them for two weeks, then take a week off, you are back to zero. I did not prospect weekends, but I did diligently call Monday through Friday.

Your leads must build, and your follow-up must grow. When you get down the road 30 plus days, you will begin to receive calls for listing appointments from your work earlier in the month as well as your appointments from new expireds. You must work to create a pipeline of expired listing clients.

The second part is attitude: Your attitude plays a crucial role in your success working with expired listings. You need to convey to the seller an attitude of compassion and problem solving. They are not just looking for someone to pound a sign in the ground; they are looking for someone to get their home sold; they are looking for someone to solve their problem. They can get even more resentful due to the high volume of Agents that may call them.

Many expireds feel that everyone else is the problem, when it is actually them and their price. When it comes to expired listings, price is the problem 90% of the time. You have to read the people you are meeting with regarding their home. Too many Agents who work with expired listings hit their prospective clients with a ball peen hammer between the eyes when it comes to the price. That will work with some and will fail miserably with others. You must be able to adjust your delivery.

You need to read the prospective clients, and, most importantly, you need to exude an attitude of caring and compassion for their situation, while conveying confidence in your ability to get the job done. Sometimes, the only way to get the price down is to convince them you care, and it pains you that they have to sell for less, but there is no other way. It is like the doctor who tells his patient she has cancer. He does not like it, but he has to do it, so he can cure her.

The last, and at times most critical, is persistence: Your persistence or ability to stick with it can have the most positive results of all. Many expired listings do not set appointments right away with Agents. Sellers will wait a week or two, maybe even a month. The number of calls they receive about their home drops dramatically as the weeks tick by. Do not be one of the Agents who drop off unless the sellers have low motivation or are unreasonable. Be one of the ones left standing at the end of a week or two.

Be persistent in your calling. Call them a few times a week. All you are doing is trying to set an appointment. You are not doing a listing appointment over the phone; just close for an appointment. That is what the call is for. You just want to be one of the three or four they interview. If you keep that as your goal, you will get plenty of salable listings.

Focus on the CAP system daily. Work both today's expired listings, and the ones you gathered in the past. Effectively follow-up with your hot leads daily. Remember consistency, attitude, and persistence are the keys to prospecting expired listings.

Ten Tricks to Maximizing Your Google Places Business Listing

เขียนโดย montana | 19:23

You take one look at this blog and your already exhausted just thinking about how much work it will be to truly optimize your Google Places listing. Just filling out the form for the basic set up of Google Places is enough to make some people wish for 5:00 to show up. So, can I give you some basic, quick help for Google Places that will at least take care of the obvious and maybe get me on the outside MAP in easy cities for easy keywords. Here's that list:

1. Use the real name of your company. Add one or two keywords if your company name has no keywords in it. (eg. Trendy is the real name and they are a women's shoe store. Use Trendy Women's Shoes.

2. Use your real address and make sure it is the same everywhere it appears. Put the address on the front page of your website.

3. Use a local phone number, not and 800 number. Make sure it is the same number that appears on the front page of your website and elsewhere on the web.

4. When choosing the category for your company, use one that Google suggests for the top category. For the other four, use Google suggestions or make up your own.

5. Put up pictures. The first one should be a picture that will look good as an icon, as it will appear to the left of your listing on the inside MAPS.

6. Put up videos. They will help to make Google Happy. Use any video about what you do. Does not have to be a video you produced.

7. Use the additional information boxes at the bottom of the listing form. You can use links in these boxes to your blog, Facebook, etc.

8. Create a Coupon. Can't hurt. Might actually get some sales from them

9. Set up your business in a New Google Account. Don't put it in your personal Google Account, another business Google Account, or a 3rd party vendor's Google Account.

10. Get reviews. Lots of them. Ask friends, family, and your best customers to review you.

Real Estate Marketing Ideas to Generate More Calls and Business

เขียนโดย montana | 12:23

Often real estate professionals avoid marketing because they don't know what direction to start with. Many decide to just do some sort of "branding" in the hopes of getting more business, only to be told that they must do more "branding" before they will get phone calls. A focus on real estate marketing means getting results from every ad, mailing piece, or website page that is placed. Marketing doesn't have to be difficult, as long as you have the right ideas to put into action.

Part of your real estate marketing strategy should be to put into action ideas that generate calls for business every month. This doesn't mean trying "gimmicks" it just means taking time to understand your market and meeting their needs with the right messages. Take into consideration the following marketing ideas to generate more calls and start closing more business.

1.      Place ads on transactional words- Instead of placing pay per click ads on generic words like "my area real estate" consider placing ads on transactional words. These keywords are often over looked and will result in leads who will act quickly. Adding transactional related keywords like "buy" and "purchase" will help you to focus on buyers who are ready to get out in the field and take action.

2.      Send a postcard around a popular listing - In any market there are listings that receive multiple offers. Whether it is your listing or not, send a postcard to the closest 200-300 homes in the area. Don't send a postcard that states that you are a "neighborhood" expert, rather send a postcard that focuses on saving people time and money.

3.      Place a new magazine ad - Magazine ads are often one of the quickest buyer systems that you can implement. Don't place the traditional magazine ad about yourself, rather, put a series of listings in your ad, with powerful copy that compel people to pick up the phone to get more information. When you put in listings that are of interest and use a simple 1-800 number tracking service you can get 100+ phone calls from just 1 ad! 100 phone calls can easily be turned into 6 or more transaction when you use the right scripts.

Real estate marketing doesn't have to be expensive; it just has to have the focus on generating leads. Too often ads are placed without the concern for what the return will be. With every marketing idea that you put into place take time to consider how many conversions you will need to have a minimum 7 times return on your investment.

Ask the Right Questions of Expired Sellers and Get More Appointments

เขียนโดย montana | 18:28

Expired sellers are getting calls every day. Many an expired owner gets 50 or more phone calls daily. When the owner does pick up (yes you will often get their voicemail) you have just moments to grab their interest and get to the moment where you will get an appointment.

For many a real estate professional they are asking questions that just annoy the expired owner, instead of reaching toward providing a solution. Here are some questions that you should consider removing from your repertoire entirely:

·        What do you think your last agent did wrong?

- Answer: Uh, they didn't sell my house! You don't want to have to move them into what you can do for them after asking this question.

·        What are you looking for in the next agent you choose?

-   Answer: Umm, sell my house! Again, this question isn't getting to the root of their problem.

Most questions that real estate professionals ask fail to dig deep enough to what the real problem is the expired seller is having. They wouldn't have listed their home originally if they didn't want to sell, the problem they experienced was that their home didn't sell, so asking questions around that topic is pointless.

When asking questions, your questions should be thought provoking. Questions that can be answered too easily won't get your foot in the door. Before you formulate questions, consider the following tips that your questions should cover.

Each question should demonstrate your expertise without you having to say you are an expert
Your questions should lead them to see how their problem will be solved quickly
Your questions should show them how they can save money

Quite often you will have to ask 4-6 questions before you will get an appointment. In order to make sure you get the right questions out, consider writing them out and having them next to your phone so every phone call.

To start your question list off in the right direction, here is an interest peaking question that you can ask. 

Do you know the 15 questions that need to be asked to a buyer to ensure they are for real?

The simple answer for the real estate professional is that a loan application takes care of these questions. The longer answer for the expired seller is that you are responsible for reviewing every offer, ensuring the validity and ability of every contract that is submitted.

Your value to the expired seller goes far beyond putting a sign in the ground and when you ask the right questions they will understand that too.

The Well Lived Pastoral Life

เขียนโดย montana | 09:53

It is possible that someone you know and care about is suffering from "clergy burnout."

What is the root cause for an unbalanced life and stress among clergy?

According to a study by Austin Presbyterian Seminary, pastors "burnout" because they have a hard time determining priorities for a balanced life involving their congregation, their professional life and their personal life. In popular time management language, pastors become captive to "the tyranny of the urgent" at the expense of "the important."

To avoid "burnout," pastors need whatever will give them perspective and keep them fully charged--or get them recharged--for pastoral ministry. Activities at the top of the list are those that contribute to their growth and renewal as persons, as well as spiritual leaders.

The clergy sabbatical is a specific activity with enormous potential to restore vision and vitality to the pastor. The sabbatical offers the pastor time to reflect, plan and prepare. The sabbatical offers renewal. The sabbatical offers time to re-focus and re-connect with the passion that initially led the pastor into ministry.

In recognition of the importance of clergy renewal, for the past 10 years, Lily Endowment has awarded grants to congregations for clergy sabbaticals. For more information, visit www.ClergyRenewal.org.

Clergy may want to consider another resource as they look for ways to create an affordable clergy sabbatical--the home exchange.

Beginning in Europe during the 1950s, schoolteachers began the home exchange movement in their quest for an affordable summer holiday. Now, people from all walks of life are doing home exchanges, with help from "online" home exchange organizations.

Some faith-based home exchange organizations have emerged that may be of special interest to pastors interested in using a home exchange for an affordable sabbatical.

"Clergy burnout" is not inevitable, but it is common. Help your pastor achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Encourage your pastor in the habit of setting aside time for self-care, time for their marriage and family, as well as time to serve the local church.

The clergy sabbatical may provide the much-needed "time out" to a healthier and happier pastor.

The Greatest Leverage In Real Estate

เขียนโดย montana | 07:19

There is a growing belief that creating a large team of producing agents under you creates the best leverage in the business. There are more agents today trying to create leverage through people than ever before. While I agree this approach is valid, you must ask yourself if now is the right time for you make that play. Are you personally ready to build and use that time? Most importantly, have you used the easiest and greatest form of leverage in real estate before you start exploring people leverage?

The greatest, easiest, and most profitable leverage in real estate sales is becoming a listing agent. Too many of us are not using this leverage to establish the foundation of our success. We are getting drawn into the more-people-bigger-team mentality before we dominate as listing agents. Once you have the skills and production of a Champion Listing Agent, you can then build a team more easily with producing agents.

Being a Champion Listing Agent spawns opportunity that carries new risk and high rewards. As a Champion Listing Agent, you will enjoy these benefits:

1. Gaining leverage by employing numerous people to work for you at no cost

How many licensed agents are in your board of Realtors®? That will be the number of people you will employ to sell your inventory each day. The best part is that all of these people working for you cost you nothing! There are no wages, withholdings, taxes, insurance, workman's compensation, or equipment changes (telephone, desks, and office supplies). There are no expenses of any kind. Now, I know that many of you are saying, my company covers all that with my buyer's agents who work for me. That may be true, but you still have to manage these people and deal with personal problems, mistakes, low motivation at times, and interpersonal office politics. All of those still need to be controlled and managed with leadership exerted to produce a result.

If you focus on being a great listing agent first, you don't' have to manage and lead any of these agent co-ops out selling your property until they actually write a contract to present. You employ all of these co-op agents for little time investment, no cost, and no risk. With producing agents on your team, you take a risk in terms of your leads and how they convert them. You invest large amounts of your time to train, coach, and direct them to success. Champion Listing Agents eliminate the risk and receive the reward.

I want to stress, again, I am not anti-team or anti-buyer's agent. I do, however, believe we, in our excitement to achieve a Champion Team real estate practice, take higher risk and lower net reward avenues because we heard an "expert" claim success, or because we really didn't evaluate the return on investment or evaluate the risk/reward equation.

2. Generating multiple streams of income

The residual value of a listing, in terms of additional business creation, brand recognition growth, market share, and market presence, develops leverage. By taking a listing, you are, in effect, creating a storefront from which to sell your services. A listing creates sign calls, ad calls, and Internet leads to convert to both buyers and sellers. It allows you to raise your personal profile in a neighborhood to generate future business. An agent who works with buyers almost exclusively has no profile.

What is a listing worth to you beyond just making a commission from the sale? One of the numbers I tracked was additional revenue and additional transactions created through securing a listing. For me, I tracked an average of 1.68 transactions for every listing I took. By pounding a sign in someone's yard instead of working with a buyer, I enjoyed the leverage of another .68 of a transaction. Track the buyers generated and converted from your listings, the sellers who buy through you, and listings you generate additionally because you sold the house down the street. I am sure that you will find leverage from every listing you take. I am sure your ratios will be as good or better than mine.

3. Maintaining a client even if the transaction fails

When representing a seller, if a transaction in pending fails to close, you still have a client. You can put the home back on the market, salvage the relationship, and sell the home. With the buyer, they have the option to not do business with you in the future. They can decide to use someone else to represent them on their purchase. The seller provides more security to your income should something fail to close or go smoothly.

4. Gaining control of your life

As a listing agent, you will be able to create a business devoid of the weekends and multiple nights that most agents must work. You can build a business that is more family friendly for your children and spouse. While you are away, you will still be creating growing activity on offers if you are a listing agent.

I remember very few Monday mornings (after a nice long weekend with Joan at our vacation home) when there wasn't a contract waiting on one of my seller's homes. I didn't know about it until I walked in the door on Monday morning.

5. Investing less time per transaction

It takes less time to represent a seller than a buyer. There will be a transaction every so often that will be the exception to that rule, but over time, the seller is clearly a lower investment of time. Because the seller uses small amounts of your time, this enables you to invest that time elsewhere to create more income.

I believe that our focus as the lead agent or Chief Rainmaker, of a Champion Team isn't to achieve a 50/50 mix of buyers and sellers. The objective is to be weighted to the seller side. The only way your mix should be at 50/50 is if you have two or more buyer's agents working for you. Listing agents, ultimately, dictate the marketplace. They set the terms, conditions, and the control level of the marketplace. Your leverage benefits need to be established as a strong listing agent before you hire your first producing agent assistant like a buyer's agent.

Online Real Estate Listings - Are They Reliable?

เขียนโดย montana | 00:58

Nearly everyone shopping for a home these days looks online either before or after contacting a real estate agent. Not only can you search for a home according to your desired price range, number of bedrooms, garage space and location, but you can see color pictures and in some cases videos, and forward them to your friends.

Does this mean that you no longer need a real estate agent to find a home? Well, not exactly. The online listings contain only the "broker reciprocity" listings. Some brokers elect to not allow their listings to be displayed on other company web sites.

Besides not being complete, the listings on an individual agents's or broker's web site may not be up-to-date. It takes time and programming savvy to download the current listings which are only available to realtors. Some agents may do this daily, while others may settle for weekly or sporadic downloads.

Only a real estate agent is able to access the entire Multiple Listing Service. Your agent may also know of properties that are not yet listed, so you are able to increase your search considerably by working with a licensed real estate agent.

You may also receive quite a bit of additional information on listings that you have already browsed online, by getting the listing sheet from your agent. Most of the online databases list only a fraction of the listing information.

If you are looking for lakeshore real estate for instance, you agent is able to search for listings on a specific lake. If you are an investor, your agent can search for listings based on the length of time they have been on the market. He or she can also save these search parameters and recheck them for you as often as you would like.

Create a Sizzling Home Sales Flyer

เขียนโดย montana | 04:58

Did you know that the sales flyer is the most important tool in selling a house?

Even if your home is listed with an agent, check the flyer that your agent has created, to see if you can jazz it up. Examine it closely, to make sure that all your amenities are listed. For instance, a real estate agent made up a flyer for our home and forgot to list "waterfront property!"

Most real estate agents use a standard format for making their flyers. They list features, amenities, price, and contact information (usually with a big photo of themselves). But buyers don't care how beautiful your agent is! They want to know why your home is better than every other house in the neighborhood.

The one sales technique that most real estate agents fail to use effectively when they make flyers is listing BENEFITS. Like the sales letters you see on websites, a powerful selling flyer will concentrate on a home's benefits to the buyer.

Here's a sampling of possible benefits:

1. Enjoy your private park-like garden
2. Get the space you need to spread out
3. Live in a romantic hideaway
4. Sleep without traffic noise
5. Walk to schools, parks, and shopping
6. Seller will help pay your closing costs
7. Buy with no money down
8. Move in without having to paint or fix a thing
9. Swim in your own private lagoon
10. Enjoy your own personal luxury spa

Do you see the pattern? Each of the above examples features an action verb, followed by a benefit.

Don't underestimate the power of a strong sales flyer. Creating sizzling sales flyers that concentrate on benefits to the buyer will go a long way toward selling your home quickly, and for more money.

Cheers to your successful sale!
