investing in the big daddy search engine and program hoppers will prove very profitable
Reply:you need to do things differently then everyone else. running ads in local newspapers and in real estate magazines are nice ideas and they could work but they may not be as cheap as you would like. want a new idea. something that will set you apart from most check out www.evideoforfunandprofit.com there is a lot you will be able to do with this program. including creating your own virtual tours.


lastly, create a sphere of influence this is a list of everyone you know and let them know you are in real estate. a referral is the best and cheapest business you can get. but don't stop there keep adding everyone you meet to your list and keep sending them good and useful information (not cooking recipes) and if you can get there email addresses you can combine it with the first idea and it will cost you nothing to do!


good luck

Reply:You NEED to get a website. The NAR put out a study in 2005 saying that the use of the Internet to search for a home has risen from 2% in 1995 to 77% in 2005 and agents with websites has increased 129% over the past 5 years. It also said that In terms of lead generation, only referrals and repeat clients rank above the Internet as the most effective methods of gaining new business.





Unfortunately the real estate industry is a little bit behind in marketing themselves online, so having a website that displays the MLS data with an integrated IDX feed is probably your best bet to beat the competition. Especially since most of the real estate being sold is being done so by the newly established realtors who have mastered online marketing.





Some good website design companies are http://www.bayshoresolutions.com or http://www.13avenue.com





But the real kicker is being able to display MLS listings on your site and integrate search tools using an IDX feed. IDX Broker is definitely a superior product: http://www.idxbroker.com





Good luck!
Reply:Hi,


I'm a REALTOR in Arizona and have found ActiveRain http://activerain.com/action/referrals/t... to be a great source of business. It is an online community of real estate agents across the country. Best of all, it is free.





Choose a domain name that reflects what you do. Put it on everything and use it in your signature line on your email.





Offer to sit open houses for other agents in your office.





Get a point2agent website which is also free and will automatically set you up with listings to advertise. You can contact me and I will provide you with a free one http://www.AZHomeBuyerHelp.com





Choose a geographical farm and start sending information on the real estate market to those who live in the neighborhood.





Good Luck.
