This site is dedicated to helping you do all three. It's a work in progress, so come back often for new "free letter" offers, and new products and services designed to help you build your business.

Yes, you do need your own real estate website!

Your broker's site may bring visitors to the company, but if you're just one of many agents, it won't do much to build your business. You need your own, and it needs to promote you.

Before you get started (or if your current site isn't effective) read this advice.

Real estate is a relationship-driven profession, so you do need one. In fact, I recommend two. One on your own site and one on Active Rain.

The blog on your own site will help add pages and content for SEO while it gives visitors a reason to come back again and again. And when they're used to getting their real estate advice from you, they're more likely to choose you when they need an agent.

If you just can't write, or can't find time to add informative posts to your website's blog, check out my pre-written real estate blog posts service.

Your Active Rain blog will let both agents and prospects get to know you better and will help drive traffic to your website.

Your Active Rain membership will keep you in touch with other agents and keep you up to date with what's happening in the world of real estate. If you're new to the business, go there and read, read, read.

Remember, agents refer clients to other agents they know and like, and if you "get active" on Active Rain you'll get acquainted with agents from around the globe.

This is the document that allows your prospective clients to see who you are and what you stand for. If there is one page on your website that deserves extra attention, I believe that it is this one, because in today's world, people need a reason to trust.

This same bio / profile is needed for inclusion on your company site, Active Rain, LinkedIn, and on any other social marketing networks you use.

Read more about why the content of this document is so important and see samples on my Better Bio page.

Staying in touch via postal mail or email is one sure way to be the agent your prospects think of when they're ready to buy or sell homes or land.

But... writing effective real estate prospecting letters means spending at least a couple of hours on each one - and that's if you enjoy writing. If you don't enjoy writing, you could spend many more hours.

Now you don't have to take that time away from meeting clients face-to-face or enjoying free time with your friends and family. Now you can simply choose one or more of 25+ pre-written real estate prospecting letter sets, personalize them, load them into your computer and/or your autoresponder, and you'll be finished in less time than it takes to write just one good letter.

Choose from Letters to Buyers or Letters to Sellers.

Staying in touch with past clients...

Staying in touch with past clients is one of the most important things you can do to build your business. But most agents tell me they don't know what to say, month after month.

To solve that problem, I've begun work on a new letter set - the Holiday Staying in Touch Letters. It isn't close to being finished, but I've posted a sample letter for March right here.

Please feel free to copy it.
