Are You A Boring Real Estate Agent?

August 23, 2010 By: admin Category: Agent Marketing 1 Comment →

When you are just one realtor among many others in your community who provide almost exactly the same service it is important to be unique. If there’s nothing unique about you, chances are people see you as just another boring real estate agent looking for easy commissions.

Of course you can say “I am unique because I am a professional providing exceptional service.” But then all agents say that, don’t they? From the marketing point of view there is nothing unique about just saying “I am unique”.

Find a Unique Selling Proposition

Finding something unique to hang your hat on is what marketers often call creating a USP – a “Unique Selling Proposition”. Your USP is a feature of your business approach that will set you apart from your competitors, that you can build your prospecting approach around, and that you can use in your marketing so that your brand has a consistent and unique identity.

Free One Month Trial for AgentMapIt Feedback

November 18, 2009 By: admin Category: Agent Marketing, AgentMapIt Feedback, General Info, Tools No Comments →

Based on several months of intensive testing, we’ve made extensive revisions to AgentMapIt Feedback and are rolling out a FREE One Month TRIAL OFFER.

The most important purpose of AgentMapIt Feedback is to help you automatically collect feedback from other agents who show your listings.

You know as well as I do that getting feedback from other agents can be difficult and frustrating. Agents are busy people and usually won’t give you feedback unless you ask them. That takes time and effort on your part and is a nuisance you’d rather not have.

So it often doesn’t get done.

But that doesn’t make it less important. Feedback helps you provide a better service to your clients. It shows your sellers that you are actively promoting their property. And it can help you convince your sellers to adjust their listings so they are more attractive to buyers.

That means your listings will sell faster, your clients will be happier, and you will get more recommendations, referrals, and repeat business.

AgentMapIt Feedback lets other agents request a showing for a specific listing by filling out a simple online form.

Then once a showing date is entered into the system AgentMapIt Feedback automatically takes care of collecting feedback
for each showing.

How does it do it? Well, a few hours after the showing time an email is sent to the showing agent requesting feedback. And if they don’t respond it keeps sending emails – up to four days in a row – until they do.

This process is so simple, showing agents can usually submit their feedback in less than 30 seconds. All a Showing Agent has to do is fill out a simple online form, click “submit” and their feedback is recorded in the Feedback log for that particular listing.

So you can see how powerful this is. Once you start using AgentMapIt Feedback you will have a record of every showing for every listing. And you will have a complete showing log for each property you have listed.

Needless to say, most sellers are very impressed with this. So it’s actually an important feature to help you get listings. Each of your sellers can log into their own listing page and see how many times their property has been viewed, and they can see the exact feedback submitted after each showing.

Talk about revolutionary. This lets you provide your sellers with a superior level of service that only AgentMapIt Feedback subscribers can offer.

So that’s a brief summary of how Feedback works. Now it’s time to give the system a try. And to make that as simple as possible, we are offering a FREE One Month Trial. When you sign up you will have full access to the system but won’t make a payment until a month later. This will give you plenty of time to see how easy it is to work with.

So go ahead and sign up by clicking on the signup link on the AgentMapIt Feedback home page. Your first month is absolutely free, and after that there’s absolutely no long term obligation. You can continue working with the program for as long as you like, and if it doesn’t do everything we claim you can cancel at any time.

Go ahead. You’ll love how easy this program is to use, and your sellers will love the instant information you can now provide them.

AgentMapIt Feedback – offering your clients a completely new level of service.

Agents tell us that Feedback is hard to get

July 23, 2009 By: admin Category: Agent Marketing, Tools No Comments →

As a Real Estate Agent, when a seller lists with you one of the things they are most interested in is Feedback from people who have gone through their property.

Agents tell us over and over again that feedback is one of the things that sellers most want from their agents.

But you know… many agents simply do not like giving feedback, and unless you make it as easy as possible, they usually won’t bother. That’s not a good way to impress your client is it? They want information and you can’t give it to them. They want to know what people think of their property, and all you can give them are vague answers based on your own hunches.

Even if you take the job of gathering feedback very seriously it can be a major nuisance. Tracking agents down is often difficult. Getting honest answers can be equally difficult. And and then once you have the information, putting into a useful format to show your clients takes valuable time.

AgentMapIt Feedback solves these problems. It tracks your showings, automatically collects feedback from showing agents, and enters it into a feedback log that sellers can access and see at any time.

What that means is that AgentMapIt Feedback is not just a powerful tool to help organize your business. It is also an important addition to your marketing strategy, and gives you an edge on other agents who can’t provide the same level of service.

Accessing AgentMapIt Feedback is surprisingly inexpensive. There is no long term contract. Go ahead and sign up for a month, and if it doesn’t do everything we claim it will, just cancel your subscription. To learn more about AgentMapIt Feedback, or to give it a try, visit Feedback.

Blog and Mail – Contact Marketing

blogmail-c-logo-175

Every agent knows how important it is to keep in touch with their clients, contacts and prospects – their “list” – on a regular basis.

Blog and Mail Contact Marketing is the perfect way to keep in touch with your list.

This system takes the old “newsletter” idea to the next level.

Instead of a printed newsletter, Blog and Mail uses a BLOG as the place where you communicate information about your real estate service.

Instead of expensive printing and postal mailing, Blog and Mail uses Email to reach your list.

The Benefits of Blog and Mail Contact Marketing?

1. Gives you a very inexpensive way to contact your list on a regular basis (monthly is recommended).
2. Lets you build your profile gradually and consistently.
3. Gives you a vehicle for special promotions or offers.
4. Develops and expands your internet presence to build more traffic.

What do I have to do to make it work?

Once you sign up we go to work creating your blog and putting your email system into place.

The most difficult thing you will have to do is pull your list together so it can be entered into the email system. If it already exists in another program it can probably be exported from your system to ours. If not, we can provide an entry system that makes it easy to enter your contacts one by one or from one file. We give you complete instructions on how to do it.

Once your initial list is compiled we will provide a simple system for new subscribers to sign up and uninterested ones to un-subscribe.
