Mariana great post. Have a project in the works for one of my buyers agents that will incorporate some of these ideas. Thanks!

WOW! Cool, Bill! I hope that they will get some use out of this. I am sick of the “great ideas with no way to implement them” kind of ideas. I figure … If I can figure out a step-by-step way to do things … why not share?

Maureen – Would you like to send you some flash cards? LOL! You know … Honestly? I would wage a good bet that even if I DID send this to people in your market (which I wont) … they would either not follow it, or they would not pick the same area or tactics that you would. I think you’re safe!

Faina – I would imagine that this WOULD work in an upscale neighborhood. However, I would consider these 2 things:
1. Make sure you dress “one level above” the area demographic
2. Make sure that the newsletters, etc. are on high quality paper

Mariana, this is: simple+brilliant= great ideas. Thanks a lot. Would it work in upscale neighborhoods (where neighbors could call police when they see some one unfamiliar)?

I flippin failed the math thing twice by not entering anything and lost long comments. URGGGH How could I do that twice.

I will give you the shortened version:

Please do not show this to anyone in my market.

[...] a Realtor or two that takes a vested interest in your neighborhood, even if she lives miles away. She sends newsletters, she knows every house that’s been available for the last year, she goes… Well, she probably does genuinely like the neighborhood — particularly if she chooses to live [...]

Mariana – I love this well structured and organized structure so much that I just emailed a link to this post to all of my managers with a request that they review it and use the material for coaching with their agents.
Great job from @Mizzle

Jayson – I JUST got a call (today) from a homeowner who moved to Denver and rented out their Greenhaven home. They thanked me for maintaining the neighborhood site, so they can always know what is going on in the market.

Thomas – Yay! I hope it is useful for you.
