Straddling the awkward line between friend or family and client

As realtors, our sphere of influence can reach as far as across the globe with social media or as near as your neighbor across the street. Leads appear anywhere nowadays, be it at the grocery store or from your Facebook page.

Social media for real estate: the secret sauce

The secret sauce I promised you some tips from my “magical marketing plan” in last week’s post about my inbound lead generation success. I am a woman of my word and so here is the first ingredient in the Social Media Secret Sauce….YOU.

Closed real estate transactions via social media = 80%!

Closed real estate transactions via social media = 80%!

Yes, you read that right. 80% of my closed transactions over the last six months can be directly attributed to my use of social media marketing. I might even make an argument that much of the other 20% was indirectly linked to social media, too. “Bull”, you say? “Hogwash”, you think? “How is that even possible?”, you wonder? Well, I ...

The Jessie James Solution = Resuscitate Your Sales In 30 Days.  Boom Goes The Dynamite, If You Light The Fuse.

Problem. You’re sipping tall, Iced Cinnamon Dolce Lattes.  Chit-chatting.  Your girlfriend shares, “ I need to make a sale in the next 37 days or I have to quit the business.” She confesses.  I don’t have  a single active listing or any qualified buyers.  She’s dead in the water.  She’s broke in bank and spirit.  She’s drowning and frowning. She pleads for ...

Are You Generating Leads or Simply Creating Them?

Create-To cause to come that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes. Generate-To cause to come that would be by a vital or natural process.
