Suggestions included:

  • Respond quickly
  • Set yourself apart
  • Prepare for showtime
  • Consider a makeover
  • Pump up your engagement factor

In the ‘prepare for showtime’ section that state:

“When you arrive for the actual appointment, make it a real showstopper. You want the seller to see you as different and creative, with such impressive services that you become their only choice. Arrive with customized feather flags, riders for call capture (if signs are appropriate), a single-property website URL, a lead capture system already in place for their price range, a screen capture of your lead incubation reports, as well as the CMA. Begin by digitally demonstrating your premium marketing plan to visually engage the seller to interact as you review your special initiatives.”

A couple of things to consider:

1. You can create an AgencyLogic single property Website for free prior to your listing presentation. You only pay for it once you get the listing.

2. A lot of agents keep their single property Websites live after the property has sold because it allows them to demonstrate how they marketed previous listings

RISMedia’s first annual Real Estate Newsmaker Awards (link is external) are designed to recognize those individuals making headlines for their newsworthy contributions to the real estate industry. Designed specifically for a select group of more than 100 broker/owners, brand executives and real estate service leaders, the Real Estate Newsmaker Awards Reception & Dinner is an invitation-only event.

According to RISMedia President and CEO John Featherston, “RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmaker Awards will honor the industry’s real newsmakers: the people who are positively affecting our industry and the millions of consumers we serve. Our industry promotes and provides consumers with a pathway to responsible homeownership. Over the past three plus decades, RISMedia has covered, chronicled and celebrated the professionals making news in real estate, and we are honored to be formalizing these honors starting with the first-annual RISMedia Real Estate Newsmaker Awards.”

Goldberg was named CEO of NAR in 2017, emerging as the top choice among a pool of strong competitors. “We are honored to present Bob with a 2018 Real Estate Newsmaker Award in recognition of his enduring commitment to the industry and homeownership, and his mission to change the paradigm at NAR,” said Featherston. “He is implementing a high-touch, high-impact approach throughout NAR to go beyond the status quo and impact real change for members and the consumers they serve.”

Earlier on May 17, RISMedia will be hosting its annual Power Broker Forum (link is external) discussion panel during the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo. The Forum, “Adapt, Compete, Win: How to Wow Customers—and Agents—in a Changing Real Estate World,” will take place from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the Virginia Suite at the Marriott Wardman Park hotel in Washington, D.C. The Forum is open to all full and day NAR Conference attendees.
