Often we hear…. I’ve got lots of chickens, but no eggs.
Marketing translation: I’ve got my marketing(aka chickens) working, but no buyers(aka eggs)!

So, what’s the answer?

Right now, today, it’s not all about leads. That’s right. In this market, it’s all about exposure, visibility and positioning yourself to be found when the chance comes along.

“Luck is the skill to place yourself in the path of opportunity so it SLAMS right into you”.
Use this definition and you’ll bring about positive change.

Ok, I know. The problem is, “I need more leads to sell more real estate to make more money.” Therefore, many of you are highly focused on something that’s assured to disappoint you; lots of leads.

Today, many of you already know you can’t even buy good Leads. Many have tried. I’ve heard the stories. Most, if not all of these purchased leads are miserable and a useless waste of time.

Why is that? Because the true real estate buyers are now too few and far too smart for the trickery of a few years ago. So guess who’s left that makes up most of the purchased leads? The true buyers only sign up for things that offer a clear value. Or they are compelled by a property of real interest and want to receive detailed information. Savvy buyers are rarely going to allow their contact information to end up on a mailing list or call list.

What can we learn and do during these times to maximize our chances to make a sale?

a good Formula …. apply patience (both emotional and financial), use your tools for analysis to see where real estate is selling, refocus marketing where buying is occurring, adjust your plan for new focus, cheerfully accept change

To make more sales, let’s put this simple formula above to work

patience – it’s gambling to just pull the plug on this marketing or that marketing in an effort to cut costs.

How do you decide?  Use a test.

Test your marketing –  when a product or service demonstrates the ability to regularly put you and your inventory in front of lots of real estate searchers, it passes the first test of, “what do I keep”.  Finally, this product or service must be affordable. It must fit your marketing budget to pass the final test. If not, forget it. Go find a product or service that “passes the first test” and  you can afford.

If you are not getting leads, and your marketing passes both of these tests, it’s not the marketing. It’s something else and we’ll take a look at what you might want to change.

use your tools, analyze and refocus - market, or fish where the most fish are biting

1. Use your tools (MLS, Title Marketing Manager/Rep and others) to determine where the sales are happening.
2. Geographically speaking, sales are not equally spread among all cities, subdivisions, communities, property types and price point. For example:  Condos vs Homes, Mesa AZ vs Scottsdale AZ, $125,000 sale price vs $650,000 sale price.
3. Narrow down the price point for those sold properties that are the main section of the “bell curve”. Eliminate areas and prices that are on either side of the curve.
4. Get specific – marketing to communities and cities by using the words that buyers use to search that specific area using Google, Yahoo, BING, craigslist… this is called Search Engine Marketing or SEM. It requires knowing and USING those search words (aka – keywords) that will match with that buyer so you are found in their search results. This is SEO!
5. It’s a numbers game. So, offer to help with marketing other agents listings in or outside of your office into the marketing services or products that have “passed the tests”.
6. Listings Agents, you must STOP and THINK… many of your fellow agents are willing to spend time and money to help market your listings for you. This is exactly what you want when you place your listing into MLS…. you want them to “go out and find and bring the buyer side to the sale so you can both split a commission”. Therefore, when Agents ask to help market your listings, say YES!

adjust your marketing plan – use the right bait with lots of poles in the water to attract the fish you have found

1. Marketing is exposing on highly visible services, our best inventory that is priced right, desirable  location, good condition so you and your inventory are in front of the prospects. That’s it!
2. If you have these services in place with plenty of the above inventory offered,  patience will produce the sales.

cheerfully accept market change – like it or not…believe it or not… you do attract what you think about and talk about

1. Think of the down market prices as an opportunity to buy low and sell in the middle or even sell high, one day.
2. Talk about the lowest interest rates in decades
3. Write blog posts about investing in Student Housing near Universities and large hospitals where temporary housing is in demand.
4. Give of your time that may be more available right now to organizations that need your help and watch how that deed of goodness will return opportunities that would have been otherwise missed.
5. Think of being and doing all things with acceptance, joy or with enthusiasm.

Oh! The Chicken or the Egg? Scientist in England say they now know it was the chicken. Google it!  Either way, our marketing produces the exposure to crack those sales..

formula of success - Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

What is the root of the word Sell; to give??

The word Sell comes from one of the Old English translations of the word Sellan, which means to serve. More simply, to give.

We could each introspectively ask ourselves right now; “Do I act in selling by truly serving the needs of others? Do I care for and work for what they need and not what I need?  Do I determine the value of my services with a formula of;  My true worth is determined by how much more I give in value than I take in payment.

If yes, then our successes are more likely assured as this is a critical factor in the formula of success. The rest is a score card which is the evidence of that success; money, plaques and awards that demonstrate those times when we live to serve. With serving and giving first, all the evidence will follow. For many of us, our challenge right now is to stop score keeping as to our measure of failure or success. The score will take care of itself many many times over through a life of giving and serving others.

Now, I am a student who is sharing a teacher with you today. You’ll get so much more about this topic from the source; the “old man”, than from me. I consider this book a really fun easy read of infinite value. That’s quite a combination to me. In the first few pages a struggling salesperson finds out that getting, comes from giving and not the other way around. Think about that one. It’s just one of the wonderful concepts this book offers you.

It’s a new or at least an enhanced way of viewing your world and bringing you to a whole new level and understanding of being successful.

If the cost of either the Book or the Audio would stop you, I’ll send you mine. But it comes with a condition. After you have read it, you must share it with someone. No, I won’t know if you don’t give it away. But you will. I’ll trust that if you don’t pass it on, you’ll just send it back so I can.

Enjoy.

Real Estate sale plunge and gain produce buyer market and seller market

Aug 24, 2010 - Home sales down 27 percent in July 2010…..

Aug 12, 2010 - Existing-home sales in Scottsdale jumped 36 percent in the first half of this year……
It seems so obvious to say that the time to BUY is when sales plunge or are holding down. And the opposite for selling.
On the news of the July home sales “plunge”, go rally those buyers armed with the knowledge that it’s “the buyer’s turn” to make out on the deal. In other words, buy low to be in sync with the cycle to sell high.

How do you view it?

As a buyers Agent, it’s not gloom and horror around this latest report on July home sales. Heck, it’s always been peaks and valleys for both buyers and sellers. If not, you’d never recognize the peaks without the valleys as a point of reference. Some peaks are higher than others and some valleys lower but the principals all hold true for the same results, both in nature and in business.

Enlighten your buyers. Tell them to get with it; No storm lasts forever; there is calm inside every storm. Buy while prices and mortgage rates are down.

Each market swing will bring opportunity to buy and sell. Smile. It’s not by luck that real estate agents have the earning potential in helping their clients during both seller markets and buyer markets. It’s natural. Resist the urge to judge either as bad. But rather see the opportunity in both markets.

Much success to you all,

Craig

Show car Homes for sale

Classic, Collector Car Homes require a special interest and knowledge of the hobby.

Do you have a home for sale or going on the market with 3 or more car garage?

Do you have  an RV Gate or garage for RV with high ceilings?

Is your home free of HOA restrictions?

Does your home have paved roads and driveway to the property?

These are some of the criteria a Car Home buyer looks for when he or she is adding a second home or making a move to accommodate larger parking and storage of their “super cars, muscle cars, classic and antique collector automobiles”.

Here’s why;

Tall garage ceilings are needed to use special car lifts for upkeep, maintenance, cleaning and preparing for car shows and exhibitions. Also these high ceiling garages allow for stacking system where cars are placed on racks one on top of the other so a four car garage could hold eight cars.

RV Gates often needed to park fancy hauling trailers or and RV used to haul classic cars from one show to another locally across the USA. Many

HOA’s often are a problem restricting enclosed or open trailers but no always… just needs to be checked into.

Here’s an example of a Selling a Collector Car homes for sale in Fountain Hills AZ with 7 car parking, large lot for parking haulers and an RV and no HOA.

The weakness of the U.S. economy has given rise to the largest epidemic of foreclosures in American history. But challenge always gives rise to opportunity, and opportunistic real estate investors are rising to the challenge.

‘Bulk REO Investing’ is the name of the new strategy, and it’s captured the attention of many well-heeled investors.

Foreclosures are at the heart of the Bulk REO business, so let’s consider the foreclosure process.

Understanding the notion of Bulk REO’s requires understanding of the foreclosure process.

As a borrower becomes increasingly behind in his mortgage, the lender regularly calls and writes the borrower with default warnings and threats. The official foreclosure proceedings begin subsequently, as directed by the lender. From that time through public auction is called ‘preforeclosure’.

When a defaulted property is placed up for auction, the foreclosure process is completed. The lender regains ownership of the property if there are no buyers at auction. The lender then categorizes the property as ‘Real Estate Owned’ – or ‘REO’ for short.

Lenders have no interest in owning property, and thus usually opt to list their REO properties with a local real estate broker in hopes of a retail sale. But as a consequence of the weak economy, lenders are frequently selling their REO properties far below their actual value. Lenders are willing to do so in exchange for the buyer’s agreement to purchase a ‘package’ of REO’s rather than a single property.

The recession in the United States has yielded huge profits to real estate investors prepared to take advantage. One of the best ways to take advantage of Bulk REO Investing opportunities is to partner with a well-regarded source of funding. Some sources of funding for these transactions are: personal funds, hard money lenders, commercial lenders and non-conventional sources such as private investors and hedge funds. Additionally, one man is becoming very well known in the field of bulk REO investing, and his name is Sal Buscemi of Dandrew Partners, a New-York based hedge fund.
