Which Will You Choose To Get Your Central Texas Home Sold?
Real Estate Marketing Strategist or Real Estate Salesperson
If you make the wrong choice you could cost yourself thousands of dollars and weeks of mental stress and frustration. I know it sounds like a "doomsday" prediction. But it happens much too often. People like you decide they're going to sell their Central Texas home and they list with a friend or the first Realtor they talk to. Surveys show that 62% of home sellers list with the first agent they contact. WOW!!!
Ask Yourself...Should you trust a friend of a friend, or the first agent you talk to with one of your single largest investments? Another question you should ask is, would you invest in a business venture with this person? That's the way you need to look at selling your home. It's a business venture. When you enter the market to sell your home... you're in business. You have a product, competitors, and market conditions. You're in the business of selling your home. And the person you choose should be a worthy business partner.
There are two basic types of Real Estate Agents.Here's a definition of both types of agents so you can see why this is so critical. For your own well being, try to see this as purely a pragmatic business decision.
First there's the... Salesperson An agent who puts a sign in your yard, puts your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), shows your home a few times and hopes. Someone who gets 20-25 new calls a month. (Based on industry surveys, the average agent generates 21.7 new calls per month.)
Then there's the...Marketing Strategist The real estate professional who is a good salesperson, but also understands the importance of high-impact marketing, uses innovative technology, and aggressively markets your property to generate hundreds of inquiries. With hundreds of inquiries, the marketing strategist increases the odds of selling your home exponentially.Let me give you a real life example of my marketing strategy in action. Last month, my marketing strategies generated 112 new calls! That's 112-interested new prospects in just one month alone! I generate this kind of activity month-in, month-out... month after month after month!
