Lead Generation, lead generation, lead generation....!

Well, in this "didifferent" market, it all comes down to generating leads. More numbers of leads is the difference between leaving the biz to work at Wal-Mart, or surviving until the sun comes out!

What are you doing to generate leads today? Are you time blocking? Are you ringing door bells? Do you have something valuable to say and or give to potential prospects?

Are you cold calling? Or are you calling your database and asking for referrals? If you are not doing anything, your business may be suffering. Very few of us have the wonderful position of sitting back and letting the phone ring off the hook with buyers and properly priced listings.

I. for one, am really getting back to the basics and have outlined my plan. I am sharing it with all of you to hold myself accountable!

I am BLOGGING every day! I am walking neighborhoods every day! I am calling expireds every day I am calling FIZBOS every day I am telling everyone I see what I do and adding them to my database I am using the 33 touches on all my A and B clients this year!

I am standing on the street corner waring nothing but a barrel with a big sign that reads "Starving Agent, Please Help!" (OK, maybe not that -at least not yet)

I would love to hear any creative lead generating ideas for all of you!

The very best vehicle for a professional Real Estate Agent

I drive a Chevrolet Avalanche as my real estate rig! It is the ultimate vehicle and here is why:

  • It has 4 wheel drive and can go in any weather!
  • It has seating for 4 adults, with plently of leg room.
  • It is a Chevy (speaks for itself)
  • It has a bed that can hold signs, a-boards, etc, and LOCKS
  • It has a three section bed cover that locks in place
  • It has locking side areas where you can store first aid kit, flashlights, flyer boxes, etc.
  • It looks cool
  • It lends itself to logos and vehicle wrapping
  • It is nice inside

OK, it's not perfect as it gets 18 miles ot the gallon! OUCH

What is your perfect real estate rig?

Washingon State major crime is down 10% in Washington

WOW! Some good news today. Someone pinch me!

Major crime is down in our state. 9,000 low risk prisoners will no longer be monitored, as studies has shown that monitoring this low risk population makes little difference on recidivism.

All sex offenders will remain a top priority and will be closely monitored.

When I hear this news story today, it reminded me of our need to be safe real estate agents. For example:

  • Do not meet clients at their home until you know them well
  • Do not tour homes alone, without telling someone where you are going
  • Always have your cell phone fully charged and on your person
  • Have emergency supplies in your vehicle
  • Be vigilant at your Open Houses-notice who is there
  • If you can, team up with another agent to show a home
  • Have clients meet you at your office first, before showing a home
  • Make a copy of their ID and leave it at the office
  • USE COMMON SENSE

I had my GPS stolen from my truck, outside of my RE office last year! NEVER leave valuables in your car in plain sight! I learned the hard way!
