Atricle Dump - Real Estate Marketing Postcards - The Three Biggest Mistakes An Agent Or Broker Can Make
Years ago I read an article by a renowned psychologist wherein he wrote his studies found one percent of all human beings would never lie, cheat or steal. One percent would always lie, cheat or steal and given the right set of circumstances, the rest of us would likely lie, cheat and/or steal.I mention this to highlight the fact that, if we can buyoff on this one principle – sobering though it may be – we have then

In years past, it used to be true that doing background checks was relatively difficult and they weren't often done. Often, in this case, pre-employment screening service software was used. However, this was expensive to obtain and often not up-to-date. In short, if you wanted to, you could probably keep skeletons in the closet for years or perhaps even forever. In some cases, companies still use pre-employment screen
Relying on the internet to drive clients to you is simply not enough. In fact, I doubt the internet will ever become an agent’s sole source of leads. Remember: the internet is vast and expansive; your farm is not. You already know exactly where the people are that you want to contact, and the US post office is prepared to hand-deliver anything you desire.
I’ve been helping southern California agents target their respective farms since 2005 with my custom real estate marketing postcards. I’ve learned a lot during that time – mostly by analyzing my competition. Here are the three biggest mistakes I see from real estate agents and brokers:
1) Don’t talk about your sales record, even if you’re the #1 agent in the state or the U.S. Why? Because while you prattle on about how great you are to potential clients; their ears go deaf, their eyes gloss over, and their minds drift elsewhere. This is true in all encounters, not just postcard marketing. People want to hear about themselves; not you. If you want to keep people interested and keep their eyes on your postcard, discuss their accomplishments, their goals, and their needs. How do you talk about those things when you don’t know the specific person you are mailing to? That’s easy. Talk about their neighborhood (or their city), and they will pay attention to what you have to share. Follow this rule in all walks of life, and you will see a remarkable change in the manner in which people interact with you.
2) Don’t slander another agent. This might seem hard to comprehend, but I have seen this many times. An agent sends a postcard to his or her farm, and writes something to this effect on the cover, “Jane Doe sold your neighbor’s house for only $585,000! I would never undersell your house and de-value your neighborhood! Contact me…” Negativism breeds upon itself. Remember that. Instead of attempting to tarnish another agent who markets within your farm, be positive and send an upbeat message to your potential client. If you blatantly attempt to degrade a fellow real estate agent, how do you think that reflects on your integrity in the eyes of the postcard recipient?

Wherever I go to and in most mails I receive, the ever recurring question is how a newbie can make money on the Internet. I have always tried to douse the flame of doubt exhibited by most new comers to the Net, about making money online.Most of them see all that established Net marketers say, as spurious claims and just a means of sweet tonguing them to part with their hard-earned cash. The truth is just that

Comparing outcomes could be fascinating. For example if you are eager to know whether there are more divorces in Hollywood than on average?To measure the length of someone you can use a yard-stick, ruler or a measuring tape. If you have taken the measure, you can than compare it with others. If you want to compare the performance of activities, or the level of a competence or capability, you can use a benchmark.f, their eyes gloss over, and their minds drift elsewhere.

3) Don’t make spelling/grammatical mistakes. I’ve seen countless real estate marketing postcards that contained the simplest of spelling and grammar mistakes. Before you print a thousand copies of your postcard, make sure you have two or three people proofread it. More often than not, they will point out a very obvious error that you have somehow overlooked. After you correct any spelling or grammar mistakes, have another person proofread it. Repeat this process until the postcard is grammatically sound. Professionalism must be upheld in real estate at all times. When you mail a postcard to a homeowner (or a potential homeowner), every inch of that postcard must be perfect. If it is not, and you mail a postcard with spelling or grammatical errors, you are effectively tarnishing your own name, and your potential client may look elsewhere for an agent when they finally need one.
