Sarah Bandy, a successful realtor, entrepreneur and president of The Bandy Group, is introducing a new concept in reality TV.
Bandy will be the star of Project: Reality Realtor, a weekly "fly on the wall" documentary-style show which chronicles her ambitious new real estate campaign aimed at netting $1 million dollars in one year's time.
Each week viewers will be able to tune in at www.SarahBandy.com to learn her methods, celebrate her successes, and follow every step of the way on her daring and exciting new journey.
The show will also be promoted using "Web 2.0" methods, including Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.
The campaign is inspired by bestselling author Gary Keller's book "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent".
Bandy's goal is to follow the models outlined in Keller's book for one year, using his methods to generate one million dollars of revenue in a 52-week time span.
However, Bandy doesn't intend to keep her success to herself - she is going to show her viewers how it's done every step of the way.
Bandy feels that the combination of social media marketing, the Reality TV style documentary, and Keller's lead generation methods, will be far more effective than traditional marketing methods.
"I don't feel that cold calling or door knocking are where my strong suits lie," Bandy explained. "These activities don't utilize my natural abilities."
Instead, to reach her goal of one million dollars of revenue in one year, Bandy will send out 16,000 direct mail pieces per month to a carefully selected geographic and demographic list of individuals.
Gary Keller's research and experience have taught Bandy that for every 50 people you market yourself to 12 times a year, you can reasonably expect to generate 1 sale.
Using this formula, you will therefore need 16,000 contacts in your ‘haven't met' database to generate 320 sale per year there by reaching the goal of netting $1 million dollars; based upon a $250,000.00 average home sale price.

In addition to watching Bandy's show, viewers will also be able to interact and ask questions or make comments via Bandy's website. "This type of activity cannot be scripted and provides a more homegrown, grass roots marketing approach," according to Bandy.

I was out to dinner the other night with a few of my girlfriends when our attention turned to the beautiful women whom was engaged in some heavy(PDA) public displays of affection with a man that many would say was NOT attractive.

Surely a woman of her stature would date an Adonis type male.

I had to explain to the ladies that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There are many reasons why we may be attracted to the opposite sex.

Who are we to say what the definition of beauty is?

Same holds true in the Real Estate world.

One of my clients recently asked me why the house down the street sold prior to her home selling?

To her surprise, the house down the street was not as beautiful as hers in her opinion and more expensive.

Although I agreed with her, unfortunately, beauty is not ours to define for others.

To that particular buyer, the worn down home has something that sparks their interest beyond physical beauty. The inside may be more important than the outside.

Now when I hear a seller wanting to up the price because they feel their home is better, nicer or more beautiful than those listed, I quickly tell the story of the not so attractive man.

Honestly, nothing beats a dose of humility and some good CMA's.
