    Become a market maker

    Dean Jackson, Founder of GoGoAgent and Listing Agent Lifestyle, is an expert in educating agents on the importance of becoming a real estate Market-Maker.

    Dean states, “Most agents begin focusing on finding a buyer after they get a new listing. Often agents are only focused on getting listings because their belief is they need these listings to be able to find buyers”.

    “But what if you reversed this thinking?” Dean continues, “What if instead of matching buyers and sellers, listing by listing, you become a Market-Maker who’s truly controlling your market?”.

    How incredible would it be to arrive at your listing appointment with a list of buyers, you’ve already been communicating with, from the surrounding area?

    As Dean says, “There’s nothing more powerful than this position because you’ve got the very thing that the seller wants more than anything”.

    “Regardless of who else is competing for this listing they can’t win when you already have buyers in hand”.

    When you begin to see your listing appointments in this way you are changing the game completely and taking your first steps toward becoming a Market-Maker.

    NAR statistics show home buyers, on average, move within 15 miles of their last location. This means there’s a good chance your listings home buyers are renters located in the same area.

    Based on this fact, it only makes sense to create a Renter Prospect List in the area that you are currently prospecting/farming and begin marketing to this list.

    This will allow you to show up at your listing appointments already armed with a list of prospective buyers.

    Renter Prospect List pinpointed on map

    In fact, you can demonstrate this by printing out your Renter Prospect List in map form on ProspectsPLUS!. Use the List Management Tool under your account options to do this.

    Then, take your map with you on your listing appointments.

    Show this map to homeowners and tell them you’ve been looking for their home’s buyer for months.

    State you have a pool of potential buyers you’ve been communicating with that live in the surrounding area. Then, discuss the high probability that their home buyer is on your list (based on statistics).

    Imagine the feeling you’ll have selling this listing to your own buyer – that’s a true Market-Maker!

    Watch this video (below) to see how to build a list of High-Income Renters and then map your list and print it out.

    How to turbo-charge the buyer pool for your current listings

    If you already have a listing and are getting ready to send out your Just Listed postcards, here’s how to increase your buyer pool and the odds of selling this listing to your own buyer.

    FIRST: Choose your Just Listed postcard on ProspectsPLUS! and complete any edits that you may need.

    NEXT: Once you get to the “proof screen”, you’ll see a blue box in the right vertical column (See photo on right).

    Click the yellow “add renters list” button inside the blue box.

    BAM! you just added a list of renters, in the same area, to your Just Listed campaign.

    It doesn’t get any easier than that to increase your buyer pool, and the odds of selling to your buyer, for that listing.

    Bottom line

    Whether adding a renter list to your existing just listed campaign or marketing to renters in your farm area, the most essential item you can have in your arsenal is a large pool of buyers within 15 miles of your listings.

    While other agents are discussing (with fingers crossed) what they’ll do to find a buyer once the listing agreement is signed you stand alone because you’ve already done the work.

    Send a Just Listed postcard from the Multi-Photo Series to a radius surrounding your listing.

    Don’t forget to add a list of renters to your just listed campaign to increase the odds of selling to your own buyer.

          Angela shared this story regarding her experience using marketing pieces from ProspectsPLUS!,

          “Good response from my farm with the Market Dominator!

          I’ve been sending the Market Dominator for about two years now and when I speak to people, the ones thinking about selling find the monthly Dominator newsletter very helpful.

          I think the large size and quality sets me apart from other mailings they receive. Plus being consistent is important in farming. I really like that I can customize the newsletter if I want so I always put articles pertinent to their area or do a ‘House of the Month’ which really stands out.”

          Angela sends out the automated, Mega-sized, Market Dominator (below) every month.
