There has been a rash of Blog posts in the past 24 hours about your friends and family network.
I wrote this post a few weeks ago for my other Blog, but thought it would be good to share it here. I apologize for any self-promotion, but I'm not sure how to share this concept and the Realtor's comments without being somewhat self serving. Obviously, you can use other tools besides ours to accomplish the same goals, as long as those tools allow you to brand yourself as a Realtor in a way that seems natural. That's extremely important.
Whenever we speak to groups of Realtors, we talk about the importance of using the Internet and photo sharing to stay in touch with friends and family. Here's why. First, it's just a nice thing to do. Second, it keeps you "top of mind." If you want referrals from friends and family, you need to be on their mind when the opportunity to refer arises. They will only refer you if they remember that you're a Realtor. A consistent stream of fun photo pages, slide presentations or Shows about family and events will help.
Real Estate is about Relationships. It always has been. It always will be. Phil Macaronis understands this. Phill told us, "This is a great way to build stronger bonds with family, friends AND clients!"
He made the following Show. His family loved it. He's since made several more Shows to highlight family events and sent them to friends and family via email. Each one has been met with the same response - they love it. I think you can see how a using family events can keep you in the forefront of your family member's hearts and minds.
