Like with any business, realtors need to know marketing to increase the number of clients and sales. Marketing is a step that real estate brokers often overlook in their training. Many believe that in the real estate business, the market is pretty much guaranteed. But this isn't the stance to take if you are a realtor and want to make your business the best in your community.

There are realtors that believe the "brand name" advertising that the parent company provides is all the marketing they need. If the realtor works for Century 21, Re-Max, Coldwell Bankers, or any number of national firms, they believe the tv and print advertising is what brings their clients to them. But this brand name advertising is not the local marketing that will benefit the real estate broker and increase their realty business.

Realtor advertising that markets the real estate business in the yellow pages and newspapers all tend to be the same. They say, here we are. Here's what we do. How is the potential client supposed to make their choice?

Housing advertising attempting to sell houses all look the same. 2 bedrooms, one bath. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. Living room, dining room, study, etc. Only the house photos are different.

What the realtor fails to realize is that whether a potential client is trying to sell their property or buy, they make their decision based on emotions. Then they back up their decision based on facts and features.

Realtors should market themselves and the property they are trying to sell based upon this fact. They should sell the benefits to the client. The benefits of having their real estate firm represent the client. The benefits of the house to the customer.

Benefits are based on emotions. They solve the clients problem, They emphasize the needs, desires, and wants of their clients. Realtor marketing should feed on benefits. Unfortunately, most realtors give the potential client facts and features.

As a realtor, don't tell the client that you've been in the business for "X" number of years. That you're an expert in your field. Who cares? They want to be assured that you are going to help them with their problem of selling or buying a house, rural property, investment property, etc.
