I did some envelope stuffing and delivering today to promote myself as a full-time Realtor. Those receiving the letter in mailbox are likely not on my email list. Didn't get as many delivered as I hoped as I ran into 2 old friends while ringing doorbells -- one was a former neighbour, while the other was one of the founders of the Woodstock Sports Celebrity Dinner which I volunteered with for 8 years raising money for Woodstock District Developmental Services (WDDS).
When thinking houses, keep me in mind as I truly am a full-time Realtor.
Anyway, here's the prose.
()()()()()()
I hope you're having a terrific summer so far and plan on getting away to enjoy the few warm months we receive. If you know of any good stay-cation ideas for a young family, email me some ideas as we plan on just a few day trips this summer.
If you're looking for an update on the real estate market for a possible future sale, give me a call. If a group of your friends are sitting around a picnic table and one of them says they may be moving, please give a positive word about me.
This letter is simply an informal greeting to let you know I certainly have not forgotten about you, and I'm hoping you remember that I'm a full-time Realtor with more than 12 years experience at Royal LePage. Actually, with the recent amalgamation of offices (Before Christmas RLP Landco closed and a group of agents, including myself, moved over to Triland), I'm the longest continuous Royal LePage agent in Woodstock.
Marketing in real estate has changed over the years. All stats now indicate that well over 80% of buyers moving into a different community, make their first discovery of the home they will eventually buy through www.Realtor.ca, or at lease find their Realtor through this site.
While those numbers are true, I now promote myself and all listings through Facebook, Twitter and www.markroyallepage.blogspot.com. If there are 15 ways for a full-time Realtor (There's still a lot of part-time agents out there) to promote a home, be sure to hire a Realtor ready to do all 15. My marketing plan also includes open houses, virtual reality tours, newspaper ads, 'just listed' flyers, and before we even start a comprehensive market analysis/appraisal on your home. Keep in mind, I don't get paid until your house is not only sold, but until after closing date, so I am required to be there every step of the way.
If you're planning on spending some time this summer relaxing by the waves, make sure it's the beach towel and sunscreen variety, and if you see me, be sure to wave.
In the meantime, I'm busy looking for clients, and watching Under-5 soccer on Tuesday nights at Cowan Park.
