Real Estate Post Card Marketing; Million Dollar Mailings

by: Lanard Perry

Real Estate Post Card Marketing is an underutilized

real estate marketing strategy known by many, but used

by few. The test? How many agents do you know market

real estate with postcards. Not many - that's what I

thought!

Yet, those that do maintain high visibility with their

prospects. From useful tips to delicious recipes,

customized real estate marketing post cards can leave

positive and lasting impressions about you and your

services at affordable prices.

I like marketing real estate with post cards for

several reasons:

They're inexpensive - you can cast a wide net and

reach a lot of people for a little of nothing. And as

you know, or will soon learn, repeat contact with

prospects is key to identity branding.

You want buyers and sellers to think of you when

they're ready to make a real estate transaction; which

you can accomplish easier when you have repeated

contacts with them. A series of real estate marketing

post cards will do that for you.

They're easy to set into motion - it takes little time

to reach hundreds to thousands of prospects via real

estate post card marketing.

Here's a great way to use them. Chose a neighborhood

to farm; condos, high end homes, country estates, move

up homes, or whatever.

Then, mail them post cards on a routinely scheduled

basis. Perhaps it's once a month, with special

emphasis on holidays. Or maybe it's every other month.

However frequent it is it your post cards should be

interesting enough that your prospects look forward to

receiving them, but not so often that they are

annoying.

Fortunately, you don't have to spend time or energy

designing and printing your own post cards. There are

several companies that produce impressive Real Estate

Postcards; ready for addressing and mailing. They're

cute, charming and make me smile.

Even if you're a do it yourself type and like the idea

of owning a software program to design your own you

can't go wrong with ready made ones.

As a real estate you need to generate leads; buyers

for listings and sellers wanting to list their

properties. You should also be taking advantage of

every opportunity to brand yourself. With real estate

post card marketing you can:

use your real estate marketing post cards like an

extension of your Business Cards. You could also

include your real-world address, phone number, and

website address if you're comfortable with that. The

key is to include information that makes it easy for

someone to get in touch with you.

use your real estate marketing post cards to Announce

New Listings. For example, announce your $2 million

dollar listing to a $750,000.00 neighborhood. Heck, it

doesn't even have to be your listing, and you can

still implement this idea.

Here's what I mean!
Select 4-5 one million dollar

homes you'd like to sell, which can be any body's

listings in any agency.
Get to know them like they're

your own listings.

Then, select a neighborhood, or neighborhoods, of

200-500 homes where the values are $500,000.00, or so.

More or less is okay, but the idea is to seleect

homes that are several hundred thousand dollars or

more less in value. The idea won't work if there's

only a $20,000.00 difference.

Select a a series of real estate post cards to send to

the owners in the targeted neighborhood(s).
A series

of letters will work, but you can make a bigger and

The Basics Of Estate Planning

by: Robert Thatcher

Estate Planning may be a word that is encountered by many citizens especially the elderly. What is Estate Planning? What benefits does it provide to people?

Estate Planning is a method of arranging and considering alternatives that will satisfy specific wishes and goals to prepare for things that may happen to a person and the people he finds special to him.

Estate Planning includes organizing properties and not just putting them in a simple Will. It also lessens the taxes and fees that may possibly be charged to these properties. Estate Planning also includes contingency preparation to ensure that ones wishes regarding health care and medications will be followed.

An estate plan may be described as good if it financially coordinates with the future of the home, business, investments, insurance and other benefits if ever the person becomes sick or will pass away. A good estate plan...

Why Do Real Estate Agents Need Websites?

by: Madison Lockwood

There is no question that the advent of the internet as an ecommerce hosting tool has transformed the real estate industry. The internet is a particularly well qualified platform for real estate presentation. Today's large real estate websites will sort available properties by area and then present them with a combination of written information, photos and often video segments. Nationwide firms such as Coldwell Banker operate sites that act as national listing services.

A home buyer can now do his initial research seated in front of a computer terminal. The traditional approach of contacting an agent and having the agent arrange for home viewings that may or may not suit the client is no longer the first step. Today, the home buyer can select a range of houses suitable for viewing on the internet and then have a real estate agent arrange the home visits.

This new reality means...

Real Estate Investor Question: Rehab and Sell, or Rehab and Keep?

by: Bruce W. Ford

Here's another awesome question I received from my discussion board. The question; Why bother keeping property after it's rehabbed? Why not sell it after the rehab and GET PAID!

Of course, the first questions that you must answer is how emergent is your need for quick cash? You can likely generate the most SHORT TERM cash by selling a freshly rehabbed house. But, you will give much of it away in taxes come next April.

If you keep it, you stand to make more! You will also enjoy some great benefits while you own it such as cash flow, a tax break, and MORE cash with the future appreciation. You can still pull some nice cash a few months after buying it when you refinance (post rehab) the property from your hard money (at 70% loan to value) to long term financing (at 85% or 90% loan to value).

The short answer is an investor is going to make considerably...

Condominium and Fee Simple Ownership of Real Estate

by: Roselind Hejl

Real Estate Ownership

Generally, apartment-style buildings are called condos, two-story row houses are known as town homes, and free-standing homes on small lots are referred to as garden homes. Unfortunately, this description creates some confusion about real estate ownership. Apartment, town home, and garden home describe the design or construction of certain homes. The word "condominium" does not refer to a the layout or style of a building. Condominium is a form of ownership of real estate. The form of ownership of real estate cannot be recognized by observing the building design.

Condominium Regime

The legal definition of condominium is: the absolute ownership of a unit based on a legal description of the airspace the unit actually occupies, plus an undivided interest in the ownership of the common elements, which are owned jointly with the other condominium...

Where To Invest In Real Estate

Where To Invest In Real Estate

by: Steve Gillman

Where should you invest in real estate? If you know an area well, and have enough experience investing in real estate, you can make money almost anywhere. However, there are always places that are better or worse for real estate investments - places that have a better demand/supply ratio. Use the questions below to find them.

Demand Questions

1. Is the population growing fast? Check the US Census figures online, or ask the local government if they have the statistics. Stay away from areas that have little growth.

2. Is job growth decent? Again, ask local authorities or use the census information. You want to see job growth equal to or exceeding population growth. The people have to have money to pay for housing.

3. Decent quality of life? This is subjective, but important. Are there theaters and bookstores? Count coffee shops and cafes. Trendy areas usually have increasing demand...
