Realtor Marketing On The Internet

We have a small plumbing business and I have found a niche service of winterizing homes in our area that I would like to market to real estate brokers and property managers. In this area I can access them mostly by email or by phone message. I would like to send an email that outlines our service and prices. I think it would be easier to track responses by email but is email a professional way to approach this?

I am new to online marketing and since our professional reputation is important I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot. We are on an advertising budget -most off which has already been allocated for other things so I do need to be careful here.

Any advice? Thanks!

YES: It is totally acceptable. Make certain to note your address & Phone number in the E-mail. Most people like doing business with people that are local. The old fashion way is flyers left in the door.

When you get a job on a street set it up for 2 days or more in the future. Use the time to tell the neighbors by flyers about the service and note that you will be in the area at xxx time, offer a minor discount. Please be certain to note your address and Phone no., also they must call to get discount.

I am sure you realize that this activity, is only for name reconization. These customers will need something that keeps your major service in their minds. The most easiest I know of is magnetic strips that you tape your business card to. They are placed on refrigrator doors. A package of 20 cost about $5.00 at Office depo, Staples, office supply shop.

The same approach can be used for an annual drain cleaning, (Snake all major drain lines from property to main). Real good service where leaves fall from trees.

Related service Bi-annual drain clean, my kitchen drain fills with grease, the bath sink gets clog with hair, this service can be done quick, cheap, and net a good look for other services. At lease you will have a happy customer that will refer you to others. Don’t forget the business card.

BUSINESS CARD: Asign each customer a number. They write it on ten business cards of your, they give the business card to someone. When that person call for a job, you give the customer a LABOR free winterizing. The customer pays for the material but there is no cost for labor.

Hope these ideas grow your business quickly. One other tip: Convert employees to independant contractors. Have them provide their own basic tools and approved tranportation. All business contracts are to be operated through your office, no side contracts unless approved.

I want to have a realtor licence and go thru the training but I was wondering if it is a waste of time now. My cousin and my mom are wanting to sell there houses this year and I would love to do it for them. I am a stay at home mom with flexable hours for work. what do you think?

Before you ask this question, the most important question would be: Is this something you see yourself doing and loving doing?

If the answer is yes, then you have also answered the second question, but it is not easy to get a license, at least in the states that I have had a license in.

But one thing to keep in mind if you do become a real estate agent is to get signed up right away to complete Broker Price Opinions (BPO) this does several things for you.

1. It earns you spending cash and gas money till you start making sales.
2. It helps you to generate leads on possible properties that may be going on the market in the near future.
3. You could get a listing from the company that orders the BPO.

I have just started completing BPO’s and have completed 5 for this company this week: Residential Values, Inc. www.resvalues.com

Haven’t been paid yet, so don’t know how long it takes to get paid and that is something that I hear makes a lot of difference in the companies. They say that they pay fast, we will see?

Good luck and I love the business, couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else.
