I agree that consistency is more profitable in the long run. It’s too easy for too many people to miss that “one big ad” on the radio or elsewhere.

MYTH #6: Photographing your own listings will save you time and money.
–>Nothing could be further from the truth. Studies show that using a professional architectural photographer will increase the perceived value of a listing by over 6%. In this market buyers are expecting a bargain – so give it to them. Make your $500,000 home appear to be a $530,000 home. Here is a home presented two different ways. Here is how the real estate agent photographed it:

Here is the same house photographed by a pro:

Which presentation do you think will bring the buyers?

@jay: love the “before and after” shots. when it comes to creating a presentation that sells, more often than not, a professional can do more for you than a skilled amateur. excellent myth busting.

This is basic marketing 101 (ok, maybe 102). I love the fact that most agents don’t realize any of this – just keeps me ahead of the curve.

Nice post! I agree completely. Marketing is about building relationships and it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.

For me, these are great things. I don’t like to do the hard sale/close. I don’t like to spend a lot of money on bad marketing or expensive glossy print ads. And I like to do a lot of things to market – keeps me interested and active.
Too bad I’ve done all of those things; good thing is I’m done doing those things.

Great stuff! My industrial arts teacher had a simple saying. KISS! (Keep it simple, stupid!)
Marketing is a lot easier than people like to make it.

I believe it’s also important be constantly reaching out to different parts of your market. Can you afford to specialize in just one thing? Develop multiple niches.
