Real Estate Marketing Tips For Farming Listings
Market Expired Listings - Farming Expired Listings is at the very top of my list of favorite real estate marketing strategies. Why? Aside from the usual reasons Expireds are potentially great flipper properties. You can list them to sell to flippers and investors, or you can buy and flip them yourself. I did and made lots of money doing it. How much? I'm not saying...but I retired my license to do it. Does that tell you anything?

Farm FSBOs - Soliciting For Sale By Owner properties is another "no brainer" of an idea. You can do it the usual way - like by cold calling and then following up with letters, postcards and what have you; or, you can solicit them by piggy backing on an Expired Listing System like I did. The secret to my success was that I didn't call FSBOs from newspaper ads. Discover more about how I did it by clicking the link above.

Farm Buyers Without Having Any Listings - Yes, I'm serious and it's easy to do.  If you can write an ad, or make and distribute some flyers you're in business.  And if you can't ...oh well, bless your heart!  

Start Building a Mailing List - That's right, building a mailing list is arguably as ignored by most agents as are expired listings. And if you haven't heard the phrase "the money is in the list" I rest my case. Currently, I have more than 2500 newsletter subscribers (as of August 3, 2010) on my mailing list...the high was somewhere around 3700  a couple of years ago and I started with "zero" subscribers.  If I can do it you can too. 

Start a Newsletter - Newsletters come in a variety of mediums; electronic, paper, via rss, tweets, blogs, etc.  I let go of the paper newsletter a long time ago and settled on an electronic one that I manage and deliver via a sequential auto responder...and boy am I glad I did!  It's the difference between having many customers verses none!

Real Estate Marketing Tips For Building Your Business  
New Agent Advice - The worst thing than being a rookie agent is being a broke one with no with no leads, listings or prospects.  You can sing the blues and complain about it, or grit your teeth and get to work. I vote grit your teeth and getting to work! 

Getting Letters Opened - It's one thing to send letters to prospects, but it's another to get them read.  There's curb appeal for houses and there's envelope appeal for letters.  Just kidding...but not really! 

Successful Open Houses - There's more to having a successful open house than just throwing up a sign, sitting in the house and waiting for folk to drop in.  Here's the best technique I've ever come across. 

Give Away Business Cards - Give away as many as you can  - lets say 100 a week. So, you think I'm kidding, huh?  Well, I'm not.  One hundred a week x 52 weeks equals 5200 cards and potential prospects from this simple, inexpensive marketing strategy.  Can you use 5200 prospect contacts a year?  So, what's stopping you?  

Real Estate Marketing Tips For Generating Real Estate Leads 
Borrow A Listing - Just because you don't have any listings doesn't mean you can't market any as if they're your own.   That's the whole point of being in a Multiple Listing System, but many agents don't know that.  Did you? 

Automate Chores With A Sequential Auto Responder - I've been marketing with an auto responder since 2004. It helps me grow my mailing list, cultivate relationships with newsletter subscribers and make sales - period.  Learn more about it now.

Sponsor a Community Resource Guide - You can do an online version of one for virtually pennies and get people in the community to provide the content for it; garage sales, baby sitting services, mentoring, community events, association meetings, etc.  And guess who gets free advertising and 100% credit for it all - why that might just be you!
