Right now, there are buyers out looking for a home like the one you have listed. The trick is finding them, and letting them know about it before another real estate agent does.

If you know what these buyers are doing, where they're looking and how to reach them... there's a good chance you can connect with them before they start working with someone else. Time is of the essence, so you need to move quickly, and the best place to start is with the neighbors.

“...a whopping 44% of buyers said neighbors and friends were a valuable source of information about homes for sale.”

The very first source of potential buyers is the 50 closest neighbors to your listing. They know the neighborhood, they drive by the property - and they already know the house is for sale before anyone else. In the most recent NAR Profile of Buyers and Sellers Survey of home buyers, a whopping 44% of buyers said neighbors and friends were a valuable source of information about homes for sale.

It's easy to understand why. Lots of times people say to their friends, “I love your neighborhood...let me know if anything ever comes up for sale.” Relatives often like to live close to each other. Sometimes, buyers who “used to” live in the neighborhood are dying to get back. It happens all the time.

PRIORITY #1: Get the word out to neighbors so they can tell their friends!

We want to do it in a way that gets more attention and interest than the standard “Just Listed” card they've seen a hundred times. So we created a pdf version of our Multi-Channel Direct Response Card that you can download, print and mail yourself - or for your convenience, you caneasily place your order for us to print and mail your postcards for you!

The Multi-Channel Direct Response Card is different than anything they've seen. The message grabs their attention imediately and engages them in a way as if you had stopped by to talk to them in person. The card gives them information they can pass on to their friends and it invites them to take an online tour of the property.

“A site like this makes it easy for sellers to share information about their property with their friends and spread the word.“

When buyers go to your feature tour site they'll see pictures, details of the property, a map – and free report offers for both buyers and sellers. It utilizes best practices in direct response, with real time lead capture and notification.

Your sellers will love this because it highlights their property – and they'll be very impressed with what you've done for them.

A site like this makes it easy for sellers to share the information about their property with their friends and spread the word. They can tell everyone they know to go to the site and THEY can tell THEIR friends who just might be looking for a home.

Here's ANOTHER easy way to get your sellers to help spread the word...

A Sign Rider with All the Bells & Whistles!

You can use these cards to get your sellers involved in the process... and get referrals from them for buyers who may not be interested in their house.

All this could happen in the next 24 hours.

Another great source of buyers are ones who drive around neighborhoods on the weekend looking for their new home. The very least expensive and most effective way to attract these buyers is with an InfoBox Flyer.

When buyers drive by a listing and they like what they see – they want to get more information right away. When they see an InfoBox, they'll go right up and take one.

Now – when buyers see THIS Multi-Channel InfoBox Flyer – they'll know they can see this property right now on their smart phone via the QR Code, call you directly to set up a showing, OR log on at home to take the online tour. The very BEST part of using Multi-Channel InfoBox Flyers are the lead generators on the BACK!

In the first week or so – a lot of the fliers are taken by neighbors. That's great – because one of those neighbors is likely to sell their house in the next 60-90 days. So – we use each seller lead generator on the back of the flier to attract these sellers before they ever talk to another real estate agent. It's like having special x-ray glasses that turn all the houses in the neighborhood who are going to sell a bright green for you to see. This is a huge advantage.

Once you've got the word out to the neighbors, friends of the sellers, and drive-by buyers, it's time to head to the internet.

The places that matter most when it comes to finding buyers online are Craigslist, Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. There are specific winning strategies for each site, but Craigslist in particular is a fantastic place to find “right now buyers.”

First of all – it's free... and since new listings are posted every day, it's a great source for buyers who want the freshest listings.

The great thing about Craigslist is its speed.

PLUS: you can use nice looking custom graphic ads like this that attract buyers to your online house tour!
