Tools of the Trade
Buddy talked about the machines used in various trades. He mentioned that the more sophisticated the machine, the more it needs to be calibrated. If a doctor is about to perform laser surgery on your eyes, wouldn't you want to know that her laser has been calibrated that day?
Real estate is no exception, we must constantly work to calibrate our marketing. One of the essential steps to properly calibrate your marketing is by contacting your sphere. If your friends and family were asked if they knew a Realtor, would they readily say your name? If you're unsure, it might be time to make some calls. Post real estate related content to Facebook. Before you worry about calling strangers, call your friends and family to remind them that you are a Realtor.
Wood Brothers Realty offers Company Showcase listings on Realtor.com. That means that our listings will show larger photos, moving headlines, all of the enhancements available are at your disposal. More importantly, it gives our listings a boost in search results, so make sure you log in and enhance all of your listings.
As a general reminder, log in at sites where you are registered, especially ListHub. If you're not registered there, now is a great time to do so. Not being registered on these sites can not only cut off leads to you, but can also improperly portray your listings to the public.
