Are You The “Go To Person” That The Media Knows To Contact Regarding Real Estate Information In Your Local Area Market? Why Not? Who Knows More Than You?

I was reading another blog post today by another frustrated real estate agent who was lamenting about the media getting the story wrong as to the viability of the market in her local area. For once, I read a post by a struggling Realtor that actually makes a lot of sense.
She was saying in her post that the media doesn’t know what’s going on in her market and that the media was basically poisoning her prospective clients. Unfortunately she has no idea as to how to combat this dilemma and accordingly is hoping someone, somewhere, will do something about it.

Pssst…WAKE UP!!!

What this agent failed to grasp and what many like her fail to grasp is that YOU ARE THE MEDIA, YOU ARE THE SOURCE! Or rather you should be. If you’re not you’ll be out of business soon enough.

In our market we have positioned ourselves AS THE SOURCE. Clients AND the media seek out OUR take on things. They come to US for answers and guidance. WE ARE THE AUTHORITY!

A reporter is a reporter. When they need information on football games, they interview the players. When they need information on crime, they interview the police. Yet when they need information on real estate who do they turn to? Do they know to call you? Do they know you have the answers? Why Not?

It’s not the media’s fault for putting out information that may be skewed one way or the other. It’s your fault as a Realtor in your market that they did not know to call you!

YOU ARE THE MEDIA IN YOUR LOCAL MARKET!

You should be THE PERSON that they rely on in your market to get the scoop. The problem is that sometimes the news isn’t always rosy and you have to be completely honest. BS the media and you’re done. That scares many from engaging with the media.

In our Short Sale Course we teach Realtors to become the expert in their market. You need to be the one they call when they want information. How much business do you think you will get when you are featured in the media as the authority in your market?

This is your big opportunity to step in and claim the prize for the top dog! Ask yourself, do you even know the beat reporter for real estate in your local area? If you don’t, shame on you.

The good thing is that many of your competitors don’t either. However, with thousands of agents now realizing that the impetus is upon them to create themselves as the authority and with many taking our Short Sale Course to learn how, you had better act before it’s too late.

Just another reason to take our award winning, Short Sale Course.

It’s just plain good business practice to learn how to successfully execute a short sale. Think to yourself right now…if I had taken the Short Sales By The Numbers Course last month, what would my commission check for February be looking like?

If you are not looking at a minimum of $15,000.00 in commissions lined up from closings scheduled for February, then you have wasted 16.6% of your time this year. If March ends up the same way then a full 25% of your year would be gone.

Only you know what you want to achieve financially the rest of the year. Right now all you have to ask yourself is are you doing what you need to do today to make sure you will be where you want to be in December.
