How To Get More Listings with this ONE Written Letter

Getting more Listings (or your very first one) can seem like a daunting task. There are so many options for generating new business that it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Which strategy do you go with? Here at Designed For Agents we're fans of all things Automation, and creative Marketing. The thing is, there are tried-and-true methods to generating new real estate listings that...well, they just WORK! (Scroll down to access the Template we made for you).

Take for example, the letter that many real estate veterans use in order to do the following:

• Introduce themselves to local homeowners that are SUPER interested in selling.

• Help their list of Buyers access "hidden" inventory.

• Create relationships with local homeowners without cold calling

• Secure more listing opportunities

So how does this strategy work? Well, chances are you have a list of Buyers you're trying to help. Chances are inventory is low in your market, OR what your particular buyer is looking for just isn't listed on the market yet. This is an opportunity for you to FIND IT! The MLS isn't the only place you can find homes for sale.

Truth be told, there are so many homeowners actively thinking about selling. You won't know who they are...unless you ASK!

So here are the rules for using this strategy:

1. You must be honest. Don't LIE! Don't send this letter if you don't have a buyer. Thankfully, pretty much everyone has a buyer. If you don't...well, you haven't checked your list of contacts deep enough yet.

2. Try not to send this letter to EVERY HOUSE in EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. If your buyer is really looking for something specific, try to narrow down where you're sending it. If you have multiple buyers with multiple criteria, then this opens up your options. Again...be honest.

3. Read the letter before you send it (if you're using our Template there are spots in there that need customizing...pay attention).

4. Make sure you're allowed to use this strategy in your specific market, and be sure to include anything in the letter specific to your market rules (if necessary).
