What most Realtors won't tell you.....


Below you'll find two recent letters I mailed my database of expired and withdrawn listings.  (Yes, I still do direct mail!). 

Are they in your face?  Yup.  Are they direct?  Yup.  Realtors don't want to tell you that print advertising is simply a way for them to promote themselves.  Why you ask?  94 percent of consumers find their home on the internet.  Fancy print publications are a way to make the seller feel good about themselves, and mostly, a way for the REALTOR to promote themselves.

It is not rocket science friends-it is a knowledge-based business driven by a service minded philosophy and a crazy, workaholic work-ethic.

I'll admit to some basic algebra, but no rocket science here.  Know your stuff, do the right things, work hard, and provide unparalleled service.  Real Estate in a nutshell.  Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, Kure Beach, Carolina Beach, Hampstead....selling homes here or in Big Bone Lick Kentucky...it's all about the service.

Would you care for Kettle One, or would you prefer the swill in the bar rail?  I'll be up on the shelf when you're ready.  The top shelf.

Sante.
