When you look around at your local competitors, do you see a sea of monotony? It’s pretty common in the real estate industry, because it’s hard enough to keep up and make money and even harder to stand out and do things differently than your competitors. <\/p>\n
In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing your<\/em> stories and highlighting the best of the best, and we’re looking for your<\/em> tale.<\/p>\n Do you motivate your team in a unique way? Do you co-office with a startup? Do you do open houses that are simultaneously a community event like a cookout or a Mommy and Me backyard party? Do you offer something unheard of to your customers or agents? Do you use tools differently than your competitors (and we don’t mean “we use iPads,” because come on, everyone does)? <\/p>\n We know all of our readers hustle, but we’re looking to know what boots on the ground are doing to stand out. If you’d like to be considered as a showcase story, email us at editor@theamericangenius.com\/housing<\/em> and include your name, position, brokerage, a link to your website, and a quick sentence about what you’re doing differently. <\/p>\n We’ll get back to you as quickly as possible with either a polite decline (which most will get – don’t get offended), or additional questions. <\/p>\n We’re looking forward to learning more and sharing your story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We want to highlight what you are doing to set yourself apart, so tell us – what are you doing differently in your market?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":335814,"featured_media":2582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[122,94],"tags":[100,439],"class_list":["post-2581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-professionalism","category-real-estate-brokers","tag-hot-stories","tag-real-estate-profession"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/07\/differentLY.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/335814"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2581"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4658,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2581\/revisions\/4658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
