Of course you have a buyer! It seems about everyone has a buyer these days who is searching diligently for a property.

Today I want to tackle something I hear a lot of people talking about: the elevator pitch. (Some people call it an elevator speech, elevator statement or elevator opening.) It’s a term that bugs me because I don’t like the word “pitch.” It sounds sales-y, pushy, and just plain aggressive. I know that if you […]

They say letter-writing is a dying art. However, nothing could be further from the truth! Old school as it sounds, writing letters, even boring business letters, is not only exponentially more fun when you use your branded stationary, it is a phenomenal way to get the attention of potential clients in your market. Other agents may be sending generic postcards, but an informative and personal letter gets the attention of every personality type. A great way stand out from the junk mail and bills in the mail box is with a well-designed, full-color envelope. Read more »
Of course you have a buyer! It seems about everyone has a buyer these days who is searching diligently for a property. Often these buyers have missed out at least a couple of times in a multiple offer situation, are disappointed, deflated, and the agent has provided a glimmer of hope that they might be able to secure a home by sending a letter to local homeowners.
Before you do that, however, I highly suggest you have a plan, some rules around how that plan will be rolled out, and have a general buyer letter template ready to go that you can customize as your buyers’ needs change. Read more »

The starting point: Candie and Richard are a dynamic team who wanted a brand to make them stand out from the competition. They selected the Impact! I Want It All package and connected with our designers to make their vision a reality.
The strategy: They wanted to connect with the lifestyle of their area, so they leaned on a green and bronze palette to bring the natural world to their marketing. Read more »

Today I want to tackle something I hear a lot of people talking about: the elevator pitch. (Some people call it an elevator speech, elevator statement or elevator opening.) It’s a term that bugs me because I don’t like the word “pitch.” It sounds sales-y, pushy, and just plain aggressive. I know that if you look up the definition of “elevator pitch,” it is described as a persuasive explanation of what you do. The challenge I have is with the word “persuasive,” because it comes across as a gimmicky type of communication. Read more »
