How to be successful in real estate sales, from a few pros

How do you sell more homes?

Become an expert on your neighborhoods. Be the real estate agent who does more than describe a home.

Be that agent who fills the “lifestyle amenity needs” of prospective homebuyers. Be that agent that finds the homebuyer’s perfect location surrounded by the schools they want, the restaurants they like and the activities they enjoy.

How important is it to become an expert on your neighborhood?

Let’s hear from one person who knows a little bit about the real estate biz and is not afraid to tell you how successful he is – Donald Trump.

“Learn your area from the inside out. If you don’t know the neighborhood you’re trying to promote or sell, you are doing yourself and your clients no good,” he said.

How can you add the latest technology to your site to instantly show prospects that you are the expert in your neighborhood?

Here’s an example of one real estate broker who’s always on the cutting edge. The GoodLife Team in Austin, TX, knows how important it is to add the latest internet advances to their web site.

In fact, Inman News, which covers the real estate industry, just named The GoodLife Team as the “Broker Innovator of the Year” at the semi-annual Real Estate Connect conference in San Francisco. When you consider how many real estate firms there are in the US, well, that’s quite an honor.

To show you how innovative they really are, The GoodLife Team just added SpatialMatch’s hyperlocal lifestyle search platform to their web site.  See how The Good Life Team uses the web to ensure they are recognized as the experts on their neighborhood.

We guarantee they didn’t add these features just to add bells and whistles to their site. They did it to sell homes.

If you want to be more competitive in today’s marketplace, the need to be a wired, hyperlocal expert is not an added-value, it’s a basic necessity. Here’s the link to SpatialMatch on The GoodLife Team web site.
