New Signs >>> New Attitude!

We have new signs! They have a super fun 3-dimensional, deep blue sky look and a shiny, techie feel. Do you love them??? I do and I will love them even more when our web address is bigger. But that is already in the works ... take a peek:



I am hoping that all of these new, shiny signs will inspire you to add a little newness and shine to your listings out there.

Servicing your listing is so important and one thing that many agents let slide a bit when they get busy. Now is a great time to meet with your seller and freshen things up! A few suggestions ...

1. Talk to your seller about their current price. Update your CMA - Are they competitive with other similar homes on the market? Is an adjustment needed?

2. Explain the Coldwell Banker Buyer Bonus program and how it can help make their home more attractive to interested buyers.

3. Update your online media! Take new photos - so much is in bloom. Make a listing video and upload it to the Coldwell Banker On Location You Tube channel. Refresh your MLS data, ePropertySites information and other online marketing.

4. Update your print materials too! Create a business card for your listing with some basic information on the property and small photo of the house.

5. Try a different Open House strategy - twilight opens are always fun and allow you to break out of that traditional Sunday Open House funk.


So let the new signs inspire a new attitude and go get em!!!
