Attention: Real Estate Agents! The single most effective marketing strategy you can use is to create a compelling "Reason Why" prospects should do business with you.
Position Yourself As The Obvious Real Estate Choice To Help Your Prospects Buy or Sell Their Home
The biggest question your prospects want to know before they make the decision to hire you is:
Why should I choose you to help me buy or sell my home over every other option out there? What makes you different from other real estate agents?
The answer that runs through the heads of many agents is something along the lines of "There's really no difference. We all offer a similar quality of service. We have a similar pricing structure and we're all equally competent to get the job done." The answer they give sounds something like "because I'm a successful, hardworking, professional real estate agent with a proven track record who offers high quality service."
The problem with that answer is that it's too vague to have much meaning. Your prospects don't know what "highest quality services," "hardworking," "professional," or "proven track record" means, especially when your competitors are using the same terms. These words sound like marketing hype rather than help you stand out from other agents.
Stop Using "Me Too" Marketing
When most real estate agents try to market themselves, they look at what other agents are doing and then copy them. What happens? They create marketing materials that sound just like every other agent out there. These types of marketing materials don't set you apart from the crowd or give prospects a tangible reason why they should do business with you.
In fact, rather than differentiate you from other agents, those kinds of marketing materials do just the opposite - they position you as just another real estate agent who is no better or worse than the hundreds of other local real estate agents competing for their business.
If you are relying on any of these tactics to differentiate yourself, you are throwing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars down the drain.
- Using a clever tagline, catchy slogan, or great logo to differentiate yourself.
- Printing your name and picture on every item you give to prospects (like pens, magnets, or calendars) as a way to "brand" yourself.
- Relying on gimmicks like wearing a red hat or crazy tie or carrying a big purse.
- Using humorous captions or personal pictures of your family or pets in your marketing materials.
- Using the default marketing materials and websites your broker provides you with.
- Getting your name out there by sending postcards with recipes, home improvement, or gardening tips.
Stop Relying On Ineffective Ways to Set Yourself Apart From Your Competitors
The harsh truth is that if you keep doing what everyone else does, you will never stand out as the "go to" real estate agent of choice.
People do business with those they know, like, and trust. When they are looking for a real estate agent, they are trusting one of their biggest assets to your care. They want an expert. Someone they can trust to advise them on a big financial decision. Someone who can walk them through all aspects of the real estate transaction quickly, efficiently, and with as little pain as possible.
If your prospects don't perceive a meaningful difference between you and everyone else - and by "meaningful," I mean something that clearly demonstrates that you are the best choice to help them buy or sell their home above all other agents out there - the only factor they will base their hiring decision on is price.
They won't pay you a premium when the agent down the street, who is seems to be just as good as you are, will charge them less. Clever taglines, catchy slogans, cute or funny pictures, colorful clothing, recipes, and freebies like pens and magnets do nothing to demonstrate your real estate expertise. These tactics just waste your money by positioning you as "just like every other agent" out there.
The Best and Most Effective Way to Market Yourself:
Explain Why You Are Different From Everyone Else.
But what if you could set yourself apart from your competition and create a competitive advantage that other agents can't copy? The good news is that there almost always is a meaningful way to differentiate yourself from your competitors. After all, no one else has your specific set of strengths, skills, and life experiences. You just have to uncover what is most meaningful to your target audience and then find a way to clearly and concisely explain how you are different in a way they will appreciate.
