Balancing your real estate business can be challenging.
It's almost like a three ring circus when it comes to managing your past clients, your current customers, and your future prospects. One major problem is that when you get busy with existing customers, you automatically focus your attention and most your time on them. Unfortunately, you begin to neglect past clients and stop prospecting for new clients and new business.
Here's one suggestion:
Lets keep you in front of potential buyers, sellers, renters, investors, and prospects in your local area, even while you're swamped and buried with existing business and customer tasks. Your past clients are online leaving rave reviews about how great you are which enhances and increases your future referral business, all-the-while you're still keeping up with your marketing/advertising efforts and future prospecting endeavors.
This a just one simple way and solution to making your real estate marketing easier and more effective. See what agents at companies like Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, Prudential, RE/MAX, Windermere, and others have to say. They are successfully doing this in their areas and can probably shed more light on this than I can, so reach out to them.
I truly believe that if you want to grow your online business, reach more consumers that are online and using mobile, and connect with prospects needing your products, tools, and services, then you have to be willing to market and advertise yourself and your business strategically, and in the places where your marketing efforts and dollars can make a difference.

Cute Zillow commercial. I tried to listen to the interview but there was a problem.
Good Evening Brad
Thanks for the blog and information. Putting it in with my favorites. Have a great day
Thanks Sussie - sorry about that, it takes a while to load because it's a rather large audio file.
I went ahead and added a podcast player for you. If you click the green arrow in the player, it should play fine.
Hope that helps. :-)
Thank you Patrick, honored to be among your favs.
Brad ~ We often wonder how Zillow can be of benefit to a Buyer's Agent? We do not list. Is it worth it for us?
Hi Frank and Karen -
YES. Millions of consumers monthly start their real estate searches on the web, Zillow included.
Premier Agents ARE Buyers Agents too, and appear on local properties as the local experts for buyers.
Zillow is always looking for buyers agents who are willing, able, and want to work with local buyers.
It would absolutely be worth it... or at least worth investigating. It happens like this....
Brad- great commercial for Zillow. Definitely hard to juggle all those balls in the air at once!
I agree, great shout out for Zillow, but also very great info,....you always have something terrific to share with us here!
Dick & Dixie -
We're not "clowning" around...
Premier Agents also have a free Wordpress powered website/blog that comes with IDX (if available from your MLS), a custom domain name and URL, already search engine optimized, and they're mobile ready too. Also includes an Agent-HUB back-end CRM, free training, and priority customer service and support.
We think that we can help make a difference in simplifying that juggle :)
Thanks Kristin - My goal here at ActiveRain is to do just that!! :-)
Thank you for sharing, Brad.
Great information...
Thank you for commenting and watching Tatyana :-)
Valerie Chatman of Prudential NJ Properties also shares her great information and story...
Brad:
I agree that being in the right place at the right time is a challenge when selling real estate--who hasn't thought if I only had romanced that bank or that person I would be sitting pretty. I recently spoke with my accountant, and he wants me to 86--- 75% of my advertisement and marketing approaches, due to ROI. So, I must inquiry what is the cost?
Hi Lorraine and Loretta, I'm not sure what it would cost in your specific geographic area or if the zip codes are available? What I can do is have someone contact you to check and also get you some figures? I agree that your investment of both time and money should be getting you the most ROI. I'll follow-up after the weekend. :-)
Hi Brad, Wow, so good to hear from you! I will check out your posts .... pippa
