Create your own Top Ten list to attract buyers and sellers

Imagine having the assignment of writing David Letterman’s Top Ten List EVERY DAY?

You would not only have to come with ideas, but those ideas would have to be funny as well.

But it happens every day and the list has been a staple of Letterman’s show since he first quit as a wise-acre weatherman and became a daytime talk show host. The rest is history and that Top Ten list helped propel him to the coveted late-night spot watched by millions every night.

So, as a real estate professional, why not put the power of the Top Ten list to work on your website? It’s easy. Create a top ten list of Things I Love About My Town USA.

What’s great about your Top Ten list is that not only can you write it up and post it on your website, but with the SpatialMatch real estate map-based search tool, you can SHOW the Top Ten best things about your town on your website.

And you can show where those amenities are located in relation to listings you just landed with sellers who are eager to sell.

Here’s how it work.

Pick ten things your love about your community. And it doesn’t have to be ten, it can be eight, it can be five. (But we would not recommend 100. People’s attention spans don’t go that far).

Mix it up.

One could be a museum, another could be a coffee shop, another could be a historical landmark, another could be a great vista or landscape.

You can include schools. You can include restaurants. You could include malls, bookstores, clothing boutiques.

They all don’t have to be locations. Maybe the people are great. Maybe the weather is great. Put it in on your list. Add specific detail if you can. If the weather is great, but in the average temperatures. Or if an historic home is great, indicate when it was built.

When you add something that has a location, include a link to your SpatialMatch real estate tool that is embedded on your site.

Here’s where the pitch for the listing comes in. Here’s where you can blow the socks off a potential seller who is wavering between which agent they are going to list their home with.

When you post a particular Top Ten item, say a park. Create a page with your SpatialMatch tool showing the park. But what you can also do, is show a property as well.

So Mr. Seller, look at this. I am going to promote Big Leaf Park on my website and when they pull up that page, they are going to see a picture of Your Great Big House on that page.

How cool is that, Mr. Seller? You can just made my Top Ten List –  a Top Ten list that EVERY buyer is going to want to read, just like every night millions of viewers can’t wait to hear Letterman’s list.

People like lists. Give them a list and then lead them on the path to a sale. With your SpatialMatch location-based web tool, it’s that easy, certainly easier than coming up with a hilarious Top Ten list every night.
