Did you know YouTube is currently the second highest ranked website in NZ? Read on to see how much it costs to boost videos to your town. The first thing you'll notice is YouTube Ads are much simpler than Google Ads. You can use a 60 second property slideshow as your video. Check out how targeted your Ad location can be. I love the ultra basic Interests and Demographics options. Between these filters and location you can get really specific with your audience size. At 2 cents per 30 second view these numbers blow Facebook away. Your video can click through to your preferred webpage, and Google can extend your reach across their ecosystem. This helps you reach smartphones, smart-TVs, and customers using mobile apps. Tip: If you don't have a virtual tour, you can convert your photos to a slideshow in the Photos tab, or use the Windows Video Editor desktop app.

Owners will tell you if they are trading up or down. Take notes and finish the call like this: Would it be OK to keep in touch? What's your best email? (or verify the address you have). Impression These calls will make an impact with your customers. The subtext is that you are dedicated, caring, and you don't waver.

Hi NAME a quick question when you're free 🔑 NAME at COMPANY For voice to voice prospecting you want to get in the zone then keep your momentum. It normally takes a few calls to warm up. When I'm calling mobile numbers and they don't answer, I prefer to send an SMS rather than leaving voicemail. SMS is faster and the open rate is better. SMS vs. Voicemail
YourPhone on Windows 10 works for this and you can try iMessage if you're using Apple. New: SalesPartner has a desktop SMS sender built-in so you can quickly send a text message then move on to the next call. This system works well particularly when you haven't entered the number as a contact.
Lets look at the low-hanging fruit of digital marketing for real estate salespeople. These are websites you can use to primarily build awareness and also generate leads.
Website First I would set up a simple blog website where you can post daily updates. Having a custom webpage enables you to do so much more with re-targeting and lead capture. All the other platforms are there to drive traffic to your page. Google My Business Create your personal profile on Google My Business, where you can post photos, updates, and request reviews. Tip: You can automatically sync your business profile with Bing My Places for extra reach across the Microsoft ecosystem. Facebook Essential not just as a business page, but also for Creator Studio and Marketplace. Instagram Connect Instagram via Creator Studio so you can post from your desktop as well as your mobile. Twitter Twitter has organic reach that indexes well. LinkedIn Connect with up to 30,000 contacts (instead of 5000 personal contacts on Facebook).
The salesperson who taught me about expired listings explained it is an instinct that you develop over time.

Tip: the DIY version is to save a search for your suburb on Trade Me Property. Agency Duration Use a spreadsheet to predict the expiry date (90 days approx). Do not assume the listing has expired though. An listing agreement may have been renewed or the property could be under offer. Check Availability Keep a record of the listing ID so that you can go through and check if listings are still online (note that listing classifieds may renew automatically). In Trade Me, withdrawn and sold listings will be under your Lost tab. Latest Sales You'll start to notice what's sold and what hasn't by checking REINZ stats, Homes.co.nz, and even for sale signs. Ultimately prospecting expired listings boils down to your personal preference and as they say, everything works!
