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

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?

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?

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!

Need advice marketing myself as a Realtor(r)…what would prod or encourage a response from YOU to employ me?

February 17th, 2010

Hello!! I was licensed in one state, moved & had to become licensed here. I’ve been in "the business" since mid-March. I send out 25 weekly Open House invitations to other agent’s houses (I have none yet so I hold other’s listings OPEN), I have business cards & a website my company provides, plus I’m building my own site as we speak. I’m very creative with Desktop Publishing & have lots of ideas, but limited cash to spend. WHAT ADVERTISING or marketing would YOU respond to if you needed services or info from a Real Estate Agent?
Postcard in the mail?
Offer of a free service?
Seeing my pretty picture? (lol, it is kinda cute, though)
Seeing my logo on the back of my jacket at the movies?
Glossy ad in a local magazine or a personal newspaper ad?
Goody bag handed to you at your doorstep from me?
What? Please list the idea YOU would buy into.
Please help. I’ve got to make some money to have something to show for all my hard work & knowledge. Thanks!

I don’t uderstand why real estate and loan officers are not sent to some sort of marketing school.

My advise to you is find out if your office assign areas to work in your office if not locate an area near your real estate office or as close as you can get. The area you are seeking should have a minimum of 5000 homes. Get your title officer to give you a farm package for that area. Staples can run you off about 5000 flyers for approximately $275 or somewhere in that area. If you can afford color flyers with a pic of yourself great.

On the flyer introduce yourself as the new real estate agent for the area and that you are there to assist in any real estate matters. You should also have a little bio about yourself. You can walk this area and put out the flyers yourself or hire some local kids to put out the flyers. Pass these flyers out at least 3 months in a row. Do not place these flyers in any mail boxes, use a rubber band to attach them to the door knobs.

Now that you have established yourself as the real estate agent for this area, your 4th or 5th correspondence should be a newsletter about your services. Your professional team might also want to add a column in this newsletter explaining their services. You should also seek from the post office a bulk mailing stamp.

To help pay for this newsletter remember those business owners that allowed you to put a flyer in there business. See if they want to advertise in your newsletter a business size ad 1/3 page ad or whatever. You might also want to get an attorney or tax preparer to run a paid column each month even a dentist of doctor explaining things about their proffession and how to prevent illiness of tooth decay or whatever.

Now find the local business in the same area, place these same flyers in the business that will allow you, make sure you leave a card with all the business people you speak with. You will be able to find holders for your flyers at staples or Office Depot. You should visit these business owners at least twice a month to change your literture and just to make sure your holder is neat and in order and still full.

Once your flyers have been placed you should start assembling yourself a team of professionals that can help you in your business. You are not limited to these but you need an attorney, a loan officer (Not one that work in your office if your office do loans as well as real estate-but an independent, there are things you will be doing with this person that perhaps you can not do with one that is in your office), a title officer, a tax preparer or CPA, an escrow or closing officer (escrow officer) a home insurance agent, a notary and anyone else you think you need to assist you in your professional career. Now you should give them some of your business cards and you take some of their business cards. You should pass out their business cards to people that you run into that need their services. They should be willing to pass out your business cards to people they meet that might need your services. You should call or meet these individuals at least once per week.

This is not a quick way to get a listing but a way for you to establish yourself as an expert in real estate in your area. The listings will come as time goes on. Sell yourself.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
