Listings bring buyers but listings also bring more listings. Getting that listing out in the public every way possible is my plan using old school ways and technology

I generate leads through my website.

High quality professional photography and then utilize the best photos in every marketing avenue under the sun... I recently met with a homeowner thinking of listing her home and she said she weeded out agents based on photo quality and only wanted to meet with agents that 'wowed' her with their listing photos. 
Of course this is a win-win...buyers love great photos and sellers appreciate it and future sellers notice it!

First, the marketing that I do for listing not just for buyers, it is for sellers also. In fact, I would almost rather get a listing call that a buyer call. 

The best way to get a new listing is to get a listing and spread the news about it to the surrounded neighbors and beyond. Just listed postcards are good, just sold postcards are better and both need to have professional high quality photos. 

I also have a high quality video tour done on most listings and blast that all over FB and social media. You can see everything that I do on my Fb business page. I am easy to find. 

When I go on a listing appointment, I show the sellers all of my previous postcards, Fb posts with videos and whatever else that I do and have done to help market and sell my listings. 

The days of walking into a listing appointment without a solid high impact selling proposition are over. You really need to stand out if you are going to be a high performing listing agent. 

Positive attitude, be helpful. Find its video, blogs a close second. Make sure your images are greater in number, wider, crisper, more interesting and helpful. Beef up your narrative and load it with information others leave out. Take more time creating listing presentations. Add the local community details in your listing presentation online, in print, everywere you market. Add plat maps, floor plans, be more helpful and you generate more buyers, more sales. 

I never Milk them....sounds unethical....I market the heck out of them; generate leads; and continue to use SOLD listings for tesimonials and examples of success....

I will often do doorknocks and leave flyers about the house or just solds on people's doors.  Sometimes mail out to the area around the listing too.  Mainly it's the internet and sign traffic.

An exclusive list of targeted industry peers.

A pre-list campaign, and a special weekend-open to the public. Localized EDDM mailing.

Everyday is a fishing trip, and my listings are my bait.

Keeping my buyers agent very busy, need to hire another one soon.

Seriously - reaching out to my peers...being kind to our peers is powerful.

They're an extension of your sphere - when you are kind to them and reach out and touch them, they WANT to bring their buyers to your listings. 

Double-ending is not a goal of mine - ever!

Develop a plan/strategy with each seller for his/her/their property. 

Listings will bring future business. The neighbors are watching.

I do a lot of direct mail for listings using the "see the homes I sold in your neighborhood vs. what was listing by someone else"  See my higher price per sq ft., see my lower DOM.    Works great and I need to expand and farm a couple of new neighborhoods.

   Put them on the internet, notify the neighbors, do all the necessary things... and buyers and other sellers will get drawn in.

Open Houses

"Milk"? Never - sell? Always!

It is a matter of semantics!!

I don't... for me my contract is with my sellers to sell their home asap at top dollar... which I'm doing quite effectively and so not many leads pop up when homes sell that quickly. 

We hold open houses, put up "Open Saturday/Sunday" sign rider as soon as the sign goes up.  We personally meet every person through the home.  I've generated lots of leads this way for both buyers & sellers.  

Meeting and welcoming the nosy neighbor has created many opportunities. 

Use Social Media to the max.  Have an Open House in the middle of the week between 12:00 & 2:00 pm for the Mom's that are passing by my open house, to pick up their kids from School.

My job is to sell it and make my principal happy. 

Best lead sources from listings are open houses. 

I market them and wring out every potential option to generate leads....listing and buyer leads....and fully expect all buyers to have a buyer's agent...99% do.....

Milk ... no got it. 

This will be a good blog topic for you.
