majoring in marketing so i can be a realtor?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

okay so heres the deal, i love the concept of marketing and i’ve taken many classes on it in highschool, i did everything like DECA and any activity that had anything to do with marketing….but right now im working in a property management office and i love it! Is it possible to go to college and major in like business marketing or something so that i can have that competitive advantage or what? Im playing volleyball of course i have to go to college at least for a year. But what are your suggestions….and i know the market isnt the greatest right now but i might now be a realtor maybe do something with property management? Any thoughts suggestions would be so great!

Leslie, Always will to help a fellow DECA alum. You do not need a degree to be a Realtor, but it sure helps, High dollar houses are bought by people with college degrees and want to work with people that are just like them. You are very young GET YOUR EDUCATION. Stay in the property management office, it is a steady source of income and you are working more with service issues. Being a Realtor is pure sales. You need psych courses and many sales courses. Your real training will come with classes, however the more letters in front of your name the more credibility you will have and the more high dollar and commercial deals you will attract. Here is another tip that nobody will tell you. Go through a Real Estate book you find at the supermarket. You will find the best looking women have the most awards in front of their name, stay in shape, those are the rules, don’t complain, take advantage of them! I am going to give you some great books to read, you are hungry for information, so here you go!!! Good luck to you!!!

How to i market our service to real estate agents and professionals?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

My client has a service that allows real estate agents to promote their listings online (http://www.vflyer.com) by distributing to the major online marketplaces, email and widgets.

I want to know what is the most cost-effective, efficient and scalable way to promote the service to real estate agents.

Marketing ideas we are considering and evaluating are:
1. Direct Mail Using Postcards
2. Email (Opt-out) marketing
3. Fax Marketing
4. Sponsorships

Not sure which are most effective or which real estate agents are most open to. Would love to get some input. We want to get their message out since everyone who uses it loves it out but they don’t want to be too intrusive or have our message considered spam.

We would love creative ideas to reach large numbers of real estate professionals inexpensively.

Real estate agents use Multiple Listings to sell their services. They all have web sites too.

Direct mail had been proven to be useless in marketing studies. Fax marketing is just plain annoying. Email is spam.

Forget about it.

Can I get out of my contract with my realtor?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

We have had our house on the market for almost 6 months and have only had about four showings. Those were due to my own personal marketing. Our realtor is HORRIBLE and lazy and will not do anything I ask him to do, like change little things on the website. We are stuck with him until July and I cannot do it any longer…can I get out of a contract with him or will there be penalties?

I am sorry about your issue…all I can suggest (sorry it’s not much) is to contact HIS Broker. He has someone to answer to. Also try the organization for realtors. (Sorry I can’t remember the name exactly, but google it). But my best advice is to talk to HIS broker!!!

Good luck!

One more thing, maybe you can get a new realtor involved, and explain the situation, see if they have any suggestiongs and the incentive is they get your business.

How can I market promote my real estate website?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I am a self employed real estate broker in the Bay Area. I have had a very nice website for the last two years. I would like to increase visitors: My target market is people who are looking at buying property in the Bay Area. Is there anyway I can market this website through goolge or yahoo search terms, or any other online marketing tool.

My website is:

www.ruizgroup.com

Look http://www.paidtoclick.in and advertise your website there.
I found it through an article that specifically listed as a good website that sells high quality traffic. I purchased 50000 visitors to my website, and noticed the difference before I even checked my logs! I am so glad that I finally found a way to market my website that can be done quickly. I know I’ve found a working method!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with there service. My campaigns were set up promptly and delivered as promised. I was impressed with the results as well. I purchased traffic for two of my websites and I received over 21450 signups for the first website and over 31030 signups for the second. (That’s less than $0.001 a lead! Try finding that elsewhere!).

There advertising works great. I’m using a direct landing page for my campaign and have been tracking every ad. A very high amount of visitors have been browsing my site and my conversion rates have gone up..

Ever since I began advertising with Quality Traffic Supply, my sales have greatly increased. Since I now have a steady source of traffic which is targeted to my content, I now get a good return on investment. There traffic has worked wonders for me. Every $1 I spend there I bring in another $30!
