 When each listing closes, it does not mean the marketing has ended.  It means it’s time to execute the last of the marketing.  After each of three properties closed today, the online and offline marketing was initiated.My first task was to update Realbird and change the status of each listing on their respective websites. Then each website was posted to ActiveRain and the real estate website of each team member. My own website has each listing posted and that feeds to my Facebook business page. My personal Facebook page also has the updated status of each listing and some promotion for the listing agents. Three postcards were created and are now appearing online. There were 500 of each postcard delivered to the Post Office this afternoon. All 1,500 postcards will land in mailboxes on M...

 The operative word for our marketing efforts this month is “consistent.”  We ARE consistent with our marketing every month, but I don’t focus on that word in my marketing pieces.  Our postcard for the next mass mailing will “REMIND” every recipient that we ARE consistent.   Consistent with our efforts to secure new business; consistent with our routine of marketing our inventory; and consistent with our open house events.  Our business is one that focuses on consistent marketing procedures.  Marketing methods of online and offline are visible consistently. This is our Free Market Analysis postcard for the month of November, and it will be mailed to 7,650 single family residential homes. Our phone rings every week with requests for a Free Market Analysis.  Offline marketing works.  It c...

 Print marketing is the method I use to secure listings.  Offline marketing is not a favorite of most real estate agents, and I’m convinced that the price is a major factor in their decision. It’s expensive, but we all clearly understand that it takes money to make money. It’s always a risk, but if it were not, the size of the newspaper would be triple and the results diluted. This is what my full page ad for some of our existing business looks like plus a half page ad for our high end home subdivision in Franklin. This newspaper is mailed to every residence and business in the Town of Franklin.  People read it. We receive business from it. Those real estate agents who do not spend the money are not as productive as they could be, if they invested in their business.  Print marketing is ...

  The real estate market in Franklin MA is moving through the final quarter of 2017, with real estate agents exerting great effort to secure fresh inventory for the final stretch. The Todaro Team of RE/MAX Executive Realty markets diligently for new listings.  Our method of choice to find new listing business is direct mail market, and it continues to be a successful method for us.The extreme sellers’ market that Franklin is experiencing equates to a slim inventory for buyer agents. The meaning of this status to listing agents is “market like you mean it,” if you expect to receive listing calls. It’s a competitive playing field for listing agents, and those who are consistent with their marketing efforts reign the victor.  The Todaro Team never misses a beat. I’m the full time marketing...

 The Todaro Team provides a full page ad to promote their listings and to search for new properties to “restock the shelves.”  It’s an ongoing process with not voids in the flow.Homeowners expect to see our marketing every month, and they do, without fail. Those who are thinking of selling in the future will begin their own investigation long before that time.  When we receive a phone call for a Free Market Analysis, the homeowner will often have a stack of our postcards and give an acknowledgement that we are visible every month in the local newspaper.This is our October issue of The Local Town Pages.  This newspaper is mailed to every homeowner and business in the town of Franklin MA.  It’s great exposure for us; our listings; and our branding.

Marketing is a task that demands consistency, and direct mail marketing leads the way with requiring constant visibility. We are listing agents, and I design a new postcard every month offering a Free Market Analysis.  We are in an extreme sellers’ market, and listings in my town are just as scarce as they are across most of the country.  However, direct mail marketing is a successful method of “shaking the fruit from the tree.”  In this market, the fruit is not falling freely, but that consistent visibility has been a winner for us, and it does a great job of unfastening that tightly attached fruit. I’m now mailing to all of the 7,650 single family homes in the town of Franklin MA every three weeks.  The flavor of the postcard has changed.  The slogan has changed. Tammy and I are both ...

This is the new ad that will appear in the Little Green Phone Book for the town of Franklin MA. We all have our favorite sources for marketing, and although I have several favorites, this one is at the very top of my list.  I’ve been a faithful advertiser in this booklet for more years than I can remember. This page is opposite the inside cover, and the small ad is located on the inside of the back cover.     The Todaro Team is a team of listing agents.  Tammy and I have been doing this for decades. If you’re thinking of selling your Franklin MA home, Tammy Todaro is the agent to call for a Free Market Analysis at 508-277-2977.  I’ll be providing all of your marketing.  You can’t beat a team that offers that length of experience plus the quality and quantity of market that we provide.  ...

Print marketing is a significant part of my marketing, since we are listing agents. Buyers begin their search for a home online; while homeowners who want to sell will respond to offline marketing. If they search for your name online, it’s to be assured you have an online presence.  We DO!!! My offline marketing consists of a full page newspaper ad and direct mail marketing. Both of those methods of marketing are the sources to which sellers respond. This is our full page newspaper ad in the “Local Town Pages.” This newspaper is mailed to each residence and business in the Town of Franklin MA. I’ve been utilizing this source for many years, and the homes are seen by sellers and buyers in Franklin.  A Free Home Evaluation is offered every month in the newspaper and via a postcard with a ...

 Not all buyer agents are cut from the same cloth!  Melissa DeVito is a Buyer’s Agent who clearly understands the purpose of buyer agency.  Melissa’s representation is above and beyond the norm! Take a look at this beautiful ranch style home with a finished lower level plus and “in-ground pool.” Try finding that in the town of Franklin for the price the new buyers paid.   This home has three bedrooms, hardwood flooring throughout the home, young stainless appliances, slider to heated sunroom with a high ceiling and much more. The in-ground pool is a fully fenced generous backyard is a big bonus. Did I mention this home is in a small subdivision? Well, it is and Melissa DeVito did a great job of finding all the features on the buyers’ list.  Do you have a list? Have you thought of buying...

This custom rambling, L shaped ranch boasts 11 rooms with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms plus a two car attached garage.  This home has a spacious 2,311 s.f of living space.

It also has a view of Spring Pond, and that makes casting a line a convenience you’ll love.  This home is off...
