I wanted to let you know about a business that I think is doing some incredible marketing here in my local city. One of the things I have learned over the years is to model good marketing regardless of the industry.
The W Hutchinson, Kansas is a restaurant/live music venue in Hutchinson, Kansas and does some awesome marketing that we can all learn from.
The Brian Rodgers Real Estate Marketing Blog and Podcast is now live. For the past several years Scott Patton and I ran a very successful podcast over at RealEstateMarketingBlog.com and we were fortunate enough to have thousands of people subscribe to our weekly podcast over at ITunes.
Both Scott and I are very appreciative of all of you. We were able to keep it going for quite a while but in the last year or so our schedules have been so busy that we have been a little inconsistent in getting new episodes posted.
I should rephrase the last paragraph actually. Scott was available always at our scheduled time and I was the one that couldn’t deliver the episodes on a regular basis. So we agreed that instead of a regular podcast we would make it into a blog as well as a podcast and post a lot of great content here, but not on a set delivery schedule.
So, although Scott is still part of realestatemarketingblog.com it has been renamed to: Brian Rodgers Real Estate Marketing Blog and is now live.
The Brian Rodgers Real Estate Marketing Blog will contain tons of free tips, tools, interviews, systems, etc. There will be just information, nothing for sale.
So, go visit the Brian Rodgers Real Estate Marketing Blog right now as it already contains hundreds of valuable gems just waiting for you to find and implement into your business.
Make it a great day!

Early 2009 marks a slower start for Lethbridge Real Estate with fewer sales occurring year to date than 2008. BUT, is that necessarily a bad thing? No it’s not, here’s why:
Last year there were approximately 40 more homes sold in Lethbridge by this time but with an average single family Lethbridge home price of only 4% more than this year. Despite the news we hear, Lethbridge real estate is fairing quite well in this global economic downturn. Other cities and other provinces are experiencing much more significant decreases than ours and I am happy to say we have remained relatively stable, just as we did when housing prices in Lethbridge were taking off back in 2007.
It is important during times like this to consider where our media comes from. For example, our Provincial media comes from Calgary, a city that has experienced decreases in property values as much as 20%. Our National media comes from Ontario, a province that has experienced the greatest economic decline of any place in Canada. We are being bombarded with information that simply isn’t relevant to our local Lethbridge real estate market and we have to be cautious how we relate that information to our local market.
As a matter of fact, my team is busier than ever with a number of new initiatives that we anticipate will help us break our record of 129 Lethbridge homes sold last year! That’s right, even with the market downturn. We continue to update and modify the way we do business so that we can better serve the real estate needs of our Lethbridge real estate clients. Through increased market share and increased efficiency we hope to make this year the best year for Lethbridge real estate clients yet!
As an example, we are enlisting the help of a second Administrative Assistant to help us better manage the expectations and needs of our Lethbridge real estate clients. Our team will now feature two Seller Specialists, One Buyer Specialist, one Office Manager, and one Administrative Assistant. Our goal is to further define the roles of our Lethbridge real estate team members so that our clients have the fastest and easiest answers and solutions to their Lethbridge real estate needs. This means helping our Lethbridge home buyers buy for less, our Lethbridge home sellers sell for more, and doing so in the shortest period of time and with the least amount of inconvenience possible!

East Tucson AZ Real Estate – Buyer’s Opportunity of a Lifetime
The East Tucson AZ Real Estate market has certainly seen better times. Because of the current condition of our economy, there are, of course many homeowners struggling just to stay above water. However, one of my mentors once told me something and it made a lot of sense to me. He said, “In Every Adversity Lies a Seed of Equal or Greater Benefit”. Well, I took that to heart. And what I see in the East Tucson AZ Real Estate market is a huge number of available properties at very discounted prices. Now to me that signals a buying opportunity, especially when I consider the fact that when I compare the prices that these properties are selling for, I have to go back to the early 2000’s.
Also, when you consider current interest rates being at all time lows, you’re probably not going to see another opportunity like this with money being this cheap in quite some time (if you ever do). The new legislation targeted towards first-time home owners is another incentive to motivate potential home buyers to get off the fence. Basically, our government is providing up to an $8000.00 incentive to purchase their American Dream.
Also, according to the National Association of Home Builders, in addition to the tax credit, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has several other provisions that will benefit home buyers and the housing market. The legislation will also:
a) Allow state housing finance agencies to help buyers at closing by advancing the credit as a loan using proceeds from tax-exempt bonds.
b) Will help home buyers in high-cost markets by extending the FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limit of $729,750 through the end of 2009.
So, as I have coined in one of my recent blog posts, in my humble opinion, “we’re in the midst of “The Perfect Storm” for buying East Tucson AZ Real Estate.

You can sign up for one of the very limited presentations they are doing over at BAP. Just go to http://busyagentpro.com
Ok, I came across an interesting video on YouTube the other day. Instead of voicing my opinion on this one I thought it would be fun to just go ahead and post this video and let you my loyal audience decide what you think about it yourself.
Personal Branding that Kicks A**
Do you want to know the REAL reason why some people make a lot of money in our industry and some people don’t? Do you want to know why it makes no difference what the economy is, there will still be those making a killing in our industry?
Do you want to know why I’ve been in the real estate business for over 14 years and my business continues to almost double every year while so many struggle?
Last, do you want to know why we are doing what we are doing at http://busyagentpro.com, why we are developing some of the features that may seem like a waste of time to some, right now?
Watch this video to find out the answer.
It’s one one of the best presentations I’ve seen (I just wish I had given it!).
There is some cussing, so if you are offended you may not want to watch:)
Hey Everyone,
There has been a lot of discussion lately about targeting certain keywords, etc. for search engine purposes.
Although there are many ways to go about it, i just wanted to jot down some thoughts here While it is fresh in my mind.
For example, if you are a real estate in Atlanta, it is not worth the effort to try to rank for the word Atlanta real estate. Why? The majority of the people searching for that phrase do not live near Atlanta, actual Atlanta, and are irrelevant prospects. What you would want to rank for, if you were an Atlanta real estate agent are words that further target exactly what your prospects are looking for, this would be things like
Roswell GA real estate
Buckhead real estate
etc.
Even within a niche like these, there are more specific types of niches that your prospects search for, like types of properties in these geographical areas for example. If you offer these types of properties or want to attract these types of prospects you would want to rank for keywords like
Roswell GA foreclosure, REO’s, acreage, owner financing, etc.
Buckhead Mansions, estates, luxury condos, etc.
It is very important to have an understanding of exactly who and what you are targeting with everything you do both online as well as offline.
