- Why target sellers?Sellers, what’s the big deal-- Why are sellers so important to our business? Gary says it’s leads listings then leverage so without seller leads how are you supposed to get listings?What financial, marketing and other opportunities do they bring our business?Gary says that sellers should bring a 1 buyer for each properly marketed listing, so if you have seller leads you have buyer leads in turn.Sample Q to JT: what would you choose and why?
- 1 properly marketed listing = 1 closed buyer (in MREA) add quoteSeller listings = Marketing opportunitiesYard Sign, Direct Mail and Email, MLS, Websites and Newspapers/MagazinesMore control of your timeLess “do it right now” urgency with sellers.Maximize your per/hour compensationLess time to obtain and market a listing Vs. showing dozens and dozens of homes.Volume!Working 15-25 seller listings/month is doable for 1 agent.Working 7-8 buyers/month is difficult.Frontend of Pricing = intimate knowledge of the marketProperly marketed seller listings = more business!On average, 1 well-marketed listing generates 1 serious buyer.“The real estate’s version of a ‘Two-fer’”Let JT talk through thisWhat types of marketing oppties do you have? How does Gary get this conclusion?
- Look at high level strategy and tipsLook at how to generate leadsThen how to work them
- page 58How to attract more sellersSeller’s market – sellers are in controlFew homes on the market, many buyersSellers get paid well for their homesFewer sellers – agents must pay more money to win over home owners, stand out over other agents, be more frequent and consistentBuyers marketShift – must work it more, start pumping up more moneyWhat type of market are you in? What can you expect from a seller’s market? A buyers’ market?Message – get your Tucson – distressed market; can ask him about that
- If you have listings to advertise, here are some strategies…Memorable signAgent who had big spread eagle picture of himself“Oh, you’re that guy”Stand out when it comes to your marketing – like purple cowJT – had big drop in calls when switched signs
- If you don’t have listings, here are some strategies…tried and trueReach out to fsbo’s—Fsbo’s on CL-- email an email with ss of “x leads” in suite account…. “I have a buyer that needs to buy a house in your neighborhood”Image = sample of a CL adTakes screen shot of list of buyers in his sytemI have x number of buyers looking in your areaIf I can help you find buyer, would you be interested in my listing it for you? FSBOs – Q: this is a great ad. What are the different places you’d use this? What’d you say to FSBOs or sellers when you’re doing your marketing?
- Many of us are familiar w/off line strategiesBut we aren’t doing them because they’re painfulDo generate results if consistent at doing themOnline strategies – new, not many of us have mastered themHow many of you in audience have mastered finding seller leads online? Lack of geo-targeted calls to action”!Buyers type in: Seattle homes, or San Diego Waterfront condos”—though still competitive, these are much easier for agents to rank for… and get leads in the areas they serve.Seller’s type in “what’s my home worth”, or “value of my house”—they rarely type in “what’s my home worth in Seattle”, thus you’re always competing with huge names on Google and if you do succeed in getting your site up—you’re rarely getting leads in an area you serve—so the investment isn’t worth the time.You’re generating leads from all over the countryHard to compete with the large guys do this
- So how do you do this?
- Q: Buys and sells, what does that mean to you? When I generate my buyer leads, they often become seller leads tooI ask them Qs, learn more, discover they want to sell tooKO – can ask re: Qs he asks to learn they’re seller leadsWay to generate seller leads
- Works his past client databasePuts them on MI emailsSuper easy, report that goes out automaticallyLearn more? Go to our boothQ: why does he love this so much?
- Which part of CL do you post this? Do you link this? If so, to what page?
- Another sample CL ad – home he’s sellingCL posting tool – pro tool available to Pro and Suite usersJT adds cool code: Includes a link: “have a home to sell?”
- Landing page for “home to sell?”
- Niche marketingHow to sell your home with tenants in the propertyMore specific– less visitors but more return on traffic1031 exchangesInvestmentsShort sales– upside down on second mortgage but not firstPost on “custom page”, people that are getting divorced. “people go to google and type in confidential divorce specialist”This strategy is focused on “what” to do, not “where” to beQ: why focus on a niche? Will get few hits, but hits you’ll get are high quality’Where do you put these ads?
- Niche marketingHow to sell your home with tenants in the propertyMore specific– less visitors but more return on traffic1031 exchangesInvestmentsShort sales– upside down on second mortgage but not firstPost on “custom page”, people that are getting divorced. “people go to google and type in confidential divorce specialist”He blogs then drives people to specific pages on his website
- This is an example of one of his blog posts featuring his listing
- This is the landing page from his blog postEverything he does points to his ML Pro site
- You’ve been known to call Online CMA requests the “golden goose”… what do you mean by this?Can play devils advocate here =- why would you pay for someone to generate lads for you? Why pay for a CMA request if you can generate your own seller leads?
- Tell me about the different subscriptions you haveHV is a lead service you use? How long have you been using it? KO or JT demo how lead capture form worksPublic site, well known, launched in ….2002?Lead generated, shows up in your CRMAvailable to eEdge, Pro, SuiteLet’s dive into the exclusive lead network of HouseValues and JustListed.com … so you understand how leads are received and the information those leads are requesting from you.Perhaps do devil’s advocate here
- Kris– lots of animations on this one so get familiar with the clicks.Order:Click 1: Ask JT: give us a brief overview of how long you’ve been with HouseValues and what you’ve put into it. How many leads did you get?Click 2: So fast forward 100 days– where are you at now?Click 3: Wow– that’s a 35:1 ratio. So for every dollar you’ve spent…Click 4: you’ve received $35 dollars back… not a bad ROI, huh?
- We also do sell seller leads through RE.com75% so far of the leads are seller leadsIf you’re looking for a solution and HV is sold out, RE.com may be availableKO – inform; don’t be salesyAnother strategy, if you’re interested in the paid route
- Some things you get wit
- Two strategies – Do paper card w/branding for yourselfDirects people to your own Pro siteOr can do marketing to a larger siteIf you’re doing exclusive leadsCan cast a wide net, see which type of site captures more busienss for youCustom tab – proDrives people to his other site w/a calculatorKO – don’t ask him re: his strategies hereThese are our ideas Just intro these as additional strategies agents can leverage
- Recapping re: generating leadsBefore moving to converting leadsPick 2-3 strategies to do first! (NOTE– any given agent can have lots of success with any singe strategy when executed properly and consistently, but top agents rarely just do 1 method. So it’s not a matter of which ones you will do… but which ones you will do first!) Analyze your results. Be honest… try different follow-up methods for different types of lead generation efforts.
- How fast is fast? What about after hours?
- % of your leads that come in w/#s?Do you try to get more numbers? What do you say?
- This is a daunting task for most agents I talk to. Why do you do this? Why? When? How? Script?Do you really think it’s necessary? Has it had any impact on your business?
- What’s mind share? How do you create it?
- Strategy Gary Keller gave in book, ShiftIn a shift from buyers to seller’s market, trying to pump up your seller marketingTo also increase your 8x8 to a 12 x 12 Increase # of touches over # of monthsJT said – make the additional touches personal contacts
- Creative ways to get people engagedSample MI email
- Note for Kris:This is tool you talked about last year…Give us a brief summary of the toolI know it’s in Pro and SuiteCan you explain how you use this? Esp since this is normally for buyers…Purpose:Jerimiah uses this with sellers and FSBO’s as a talking point, saying “if you list with me– I just need a couple days to put it on the MLS and blast it out to my database of active buyers to see if anyone is interested. For seller’s this is a talking point– but the visual shows how he executes this idea.Last year, used his $50k GCI stat
- Report – shows results you’re generatingCool to talk w/sellers re: how you’re doing sales for them
