Real estate giveaways including t-shirts, pens, and lanyards

Giveaways

  2. Of course, if your goal of organizing an open house is to capture as many leads as possible, try something like AgentFire’s Listing registration feature. This one can be loaded up on a tablet at your open house, where it would capture your visitors’ contact info in exchange for your gift.
  3. Give away or lend branded garage sale signs If any of your clients or anyone you know in the local community is planning on having a garage sale, why not offer them some free garage sale signs? These could include your agency’s name and logo, thus helping improve your brand recognition. Simply lend the signs and collect them after the garage sale ends.
  4. Keychain tags – Keychain tags are a cheap and effective way of keeping your brand in front of people. Give them away at any event you participate in, or as part of a gift package.
  5. Welcome home gifts – After helping buyers find the home they want, give your clients a welcome home gift. Even a small gift basket does wonders in preventing buyer’s remorse.
  6. Share free email templates or tip sheets to guide home buyers and sellers –  For example, create a checklist of unpredictable things to look for when viewing a home. It’s all about making a valuable and personal connection. Your readers will be happy you reminded them to test the windows and you can consider them prospective clients.
  7. Branded pens, USB drives, and lanyards – These items are cheap to produce, easy to carry, and you can give them away pretty much anywhere.
  8. Offer useful client gifts – Consider items such as calendars, pens, notepads that are seen often throughout the day. This way, you’ll be top of mind and your potential clients won’t have to look far when it’s time to reach out to you.
  9. Volunteer – Your time is something else you can give away. Whether it’s at your church, a local vet’s office, a homeless shelter, fire department, or a beach clean-up event, volunteering helps you to be known in your local area as someone who cares about the community.
  10. Contests –  Contests are an excellent way to engage passive audiences, whether it’s on your website, on social media channels, or in a live event. Try an integrated form on your website and build a survey or quiz. AgentFire offers a ton of diverse form-building options to our clients such as Jotform and Typeform. Bonus: collaborate with local business owners to offer hyperlocal contest gifts that are perfect for home buyers interested in that area. If you own an AgentFire website, you can easily set up one of our ConvertPages to allow your audience to easily enter the contest.Convert pages real estate contest
  11. Hand out useful goods at community events – Think: offering branded water bottles at the city marathon or branded phone strings at the local market. Remember to feature your name, logo, and contact information.market your properties

Marketing your properties

  1. Offer immersive 3d property tours – Companies like Matterport can help you create breathtaking 3d property tours of your listings at an affordable price. And if none of your competitors are offering them, make sure you advertise this fact as much as possible. If you own an AgentFire website, thanks to our Matterport integration, you can add your own Matterport home tour to your listings with just a few clicks.

Matterport homepage

  1. Become the hyperlocal expert leader of your niche – Do you specialize in first-time buyers, downsizing seniors, new construction buyers, or house flippers? Don’t be a generalist. Own your niche and brand yourself accordingly.
  2. Use drone photography –  Drone photography can produce dramatic shots and allow viewers to see angles of your property listings that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to see (just make sure that drone photography makes sense for the property you’re promoting).
  3. Share your real estate listings in your personal network – It’s usually advised that you keep your professional and personal lives private – especially online. But sharing your listings with your personal network could help to increase your leads. Who knows, a family member could lead to a friend who becomes a client…you know the story.

educational

Educational

  1. Create short, value-packed webinars – Showcase your real estate industry expertise to the general public. From showing how to choose the right color scheme, to house flipping strategies, there’s always something you can teach publicly that will help you establish your real estate expertise. Keep the webinars to under 10 minutes and packed with value. Then, share them with your network through social platforms, your email list, and on your website.
  2. Offer youth-oriented classes – Many high school students graduate without an ounce of knowledge about building long-term personal and financial stability. Establish yourself as a leader in your community and build local trust by sharing this vital information about real estate. Speak to your local high school about giving a temporary class.
  3. Share summaries of market studies & data – Most home buyers aren’t experts on the housing market and they may have just started to learn more about it. Become a trusted resource by summarizing and sharing bite-sized reports of important changes in the real estate industry. You may choose to share these over social media, your real estate website, or directly to clients through your CRM.
  4. Learn to make digital products – There are tons of inexpensive courses online that will show you how to build effective and simple, powerful digital products that create leads. For example, try a course with Teachable or Coursify and easily develop a digital tip sheet to share with contacts.
  5. Teach at a community college – Many colleges offer real estate courses. If you meet the requirements, you could teach one yourself.
  6. Reach out to a local or niche podcast – There are tons of relevant real estate podcasts available across several platforms. With a handful of simple email pitches, you can become a guest and expand your network to include listeners of that podcast.
  7. Volunteer to teach a course – There are always local career advancement organizations willing to take new instructors.
  8. Create a course on Udemy – If you have the technical skills to create and edit videos, you could share your expertise on Udemy and make a buck while you’re at it.

contact outreach

Contact outreach

  1. Don’t settle for an average business card – Take it a step ahead and create something memorable. Our team of AgentFire designers will create custom branding and a logo for you that is easily adaptable for any kind of medium. Take a look at some of our designs.
  2. Switch your focus – If you feel that you’ve exhausted your usual circle of buyers – whether you usually tap into groups of house-flippers, multi-family buyers, or another demographic –  think about how you can reach out to new types of clients while maintaining your brand. Used to multi-family buyers? Remind your Twitter followers that all of your clients had a first time and after some practice, they decided that you were consistent and trustworthy enough to find a home for their precious family. Skip the trial and error, they should come straight to you for their first home!
  3. Contact landlords – These property owners may be looking to make another investment. 
  4. Set up a personable receipt confirmation for texts and emails – No one wants to send an urgent inquiry into a black hole. Yet we know that with such a busy schedule,  you can’t always reply right away. When a potential lead contacts you, set up a confirmation email or SMS to automatically confirm that their inquiry was received. This will make them feel acknowledged and assure them that you will get back to them soon.
  5. Make yourself easy to contact – Ensure that your contact information is front and center when it comes to your website. This could mean offering a live chat on your home page, making sure your contact page is on your main menu, and making social sharing available throughout each webpage.
  6. Pick up the phone and do some cold calling – Cold calling still works. Here are some tips.
  7. Outsource your prospecting efforts – If you don’t want to deal with, or don’t have the time to do cold calling, email marketing, social media prospecting, etc. hire a virtual assistant to help you out.
  8. Send door flyers – And old classic. Flyers are still very effective wonders towards increasing your brand awareness.
  9. Go door knocking – Introduce yourself to the neighbors, leave them your card, and ask them to keep you in mind if they ever need your services.
  10. Send out holiday postcards – The holidays are a perfect opportunity to greet and reach out to past (and future) clients and remind them about your services.
  11. Don’t be scared of “snail-mail”–  Nowadays, people are so used to receiving online marketing messages that direct mail or “snail-mail” has become a unique way to stand out. Handwrite the addresses to give them a personal touch and prevent from being labeled as spam. If done correctly, this can give you amazing ROI.
  12. Send out birthday cards to past clients – Birthdays give you an excellent opportunity to send out personalized messages to past clients.
  13. Take a client out to lunch to celebrate their big real estate purchase – Focusing on celebrating the future they have gained, rather than the money they’ve spent, is a great way to avoid home buyer’s remorse.
  14. Give referrals – Don’t just take referrals, give them as well.
  15. Follow up on clients after-sale – Reach out to clients and ask how they are adjusting to their new home. Following up is a great way to nurture a lasting relationship.
  16. Stay in touch with clients who have moved away – These clients can still send referrals your way.
  17. Provide a complimentary moving truck or other helpful service – If you want to impress your clients, and make clients of other real estate agents wish they had hired you, provide a moving truck. This could be a rental or your own truck. Other useful services for clients could include a cleaning or garbage disposal service (especially if it’s a fixer-upper).
  18. Send handwritten notes – Handwritten letters are a lost art. Send them out to any of your clients who have just bought or sold a home (and why not include it in a gift basket).
  19. Create or overhaul your agency’s slogan A slogan can help make your brand more memorable and show that you have a firmly established success metric.
  20. Get a professional headshot for you and your team – Looks matter! Clients start their property and real estate agent search online. Like it or not, these clients will judge you by your appearance. Hire a professional photographer to make sure your first impression is a positive one.
  21. Hire a content writer – If you don’t have time to create content regularly, hire a professional. If you own an AgentFire website, you have the option to order all types of content, including blogs and webpages directly from our Textbroker partners.
  22. Hire a graphic designer to create a brand identity – From customized colors, logos, real estate websites, and ads, a graphic designer can make a huge difference in making your business look professional. AgentFire offers full, customized design packages whether you just need a logo or full branding – and it only takes a few minutes.
  23. Master your elevator pitch -Think of an elevator pitch as a 20 second opportunity to prove why someone should choose you as their agent. Would you blabber on about  all the details of your day? Focus on measurable achievements and setting yourself apart from other agents.
  24. Be aware of customer personas – Customer personas will help you hone in your marketing efforts, and create content that will grab their attention.
  25. Overhaul your “about us” page – Clients want to know who they’re dealing with, and why should they trust you. Your “about us” page can help them do just that.
  26. Create a local market quiz – Reach out to your hyperlocal audience through social networks or email, and ask them what kind of services and content they are interested in.
  27. Hold a live “question and answer” event on Facebook – Facebook lets you engage people, and prove your real estate expertise in real-time.
  28. Reach out to local influencers – Reach out to or tag a local influencer that is aligned with your mission and goals. Perhaps you sell family homes; a local mommy blogger could be a great referral source. And if they’re looking for content, tell them you’re available for an interview.
  29. Guest write for popular local blog posts – Blogs with a lot of traffic are almost always looking for more rich content to satisfy their readers. If you have writing skills and a great article idea, send a short pitch email to them.

  1. Create a professional email signature – A great email signature will include your business’ name and contact information. It will constantly remind people of what you do for a living and provides an easy way for them to contact you.
  2. Pay for billboard ads on streets with heavy traffic – Billboards are an excellent (although pricey) way of vastly increasing your brand awareness in your hyperlocal area. If you do take this route, don’t be afraid to be attention-grabbing. If you can bring light to the area in which the billboard is placed (E.g. humorously mentioning traffic on a billboard over a busy street), even better.
  3. Include market updates on your blog and newsletter – People that are thinking about buying would appreciate staying on top of the real estate market.
  4. Regularly update your Company Image – Although you may have loved your branding when you started to sell properties 10 years ago, lots has changed since then. Your image should reflect that you are modern and on the ball. Something as simple as taking new company photos can make a significant difference.
  5. Tap into local county’s tax delinquent list – Each county has a list of people who have missed one or more property tax payments. They could be highly motivated to sell their home.
  6. Double-check your contact info – If your company has been around for a while, you may want to double check that your info on every platform is updated and correct.
  7. Sponsor a local sports team – From little league baseball to high school football teams, show yourself as a caring member of the community and advertise your brand while you’re at it.

real estate ads

  2. Offer exclusive opportunities – Think about different “exclusive” offers you could offer to a chosen few and advertise them as such. Consider a private showing before your property is listed on MLS. It’s hard not to feel special if you’re invited to a private showing at an “exclusive” listing.

  12. Use focus groups – These can test your new ads, and give their thoughts about your content and outreach efforts.
  13. Create event posters – Commission an event poster showing all major events going on in your city in the next few months.
  14. Use Google Adwords – Google Adwords have an amazing ROI. If you don’t know how to start with Google Adwords, we can help you build an extremely effective Google Adwords campaign.

  16. A/B test to see how your advertising strategies are performing – You don’t need to be an online marketing professional to understand A/B testing. It’s simple: create variations of your ads and test them with small groups to compare the results before launching a full campaign.

Revamp Your Social Media Accounts

  1. Stay consistent on all of your social media platforms – The key to success on social media is presence and niche. That means you need to consistently stay engaged with your audience and provide valuable content. Decide what consistent means for you on each platform. Perhaps after doing some analytics research you find that it’s best to post to Instagram daily and Linkedin only a few times a week. Take the time to figure out what is and isn’t working when it comes to your posting schedule.
  2. Join real estate discussions on forums and relevant boards – Sites such as Reddit have hundreds of real estate discussions you could join. Capitalize on these to attract more traffic to your site.
  3. Connect on a personal level – Remember the people we’re most excited to work with are usually the ones who seem the most relatable and likeable. As important as it is to project a professional image, it’s equally important to show your human side. Clients are buying a home after all.
  4. Build a FB chatbot – Facebook also gives you the option to program your own Chatbot. This one can be taken over by a live agent as well.
  5. Keep your content diverse – When it comes to your social platforms, it’s not only important to provide quality content, but to present it in a way that is visually appealing and stylized. Think of your Pinterest or Instagram explore page, which posts stand out the most? And why?
  6. Create a business page on each social platform– Maintain a professional profile and get access to analytic info by ensuring you have business accounts. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin are incredibly powerful search engines in in their own right. Make sure your clients are able to find you there.
  7. Don’t forget about accessibility – It goes without saying that your content should be accessible to everyone. This means taking extra time to consider closed captions, image descriptions, bilingual options, and more.
