LandandFarm.com is the leading website for rural and acreage land listings as measeured by Alexa and Compete traffic. In the last couple of weeks, they have changed their pricing dramatically to allow property sellers and brokers unlimited advertising for a $49.95/month. This price is lower than the $75/month they charged for just 10 listing ads [...]
The rise of sealed bid sales of late is a strong indicator that banks are willing to deal at market prices. These events allow banks the luxury of leaving published list prices high while encouraging buyers (with a wink and a nod) to submit lower than asking price bids for serious consideration.
Are you a self-starter?
Do you have a strong desire to build a long-term successful career in real estate?
Are you looking for a Broker that will provide marketing, prospecting and professional development support?
Fitzgerald Realty was created by a real estate agent who was tired of paying hefty commission splits and monthly fees to a large franchise firm that offered little in return other than a name. He could not see the value in paying “tech fees” for technology that was years behind the curve and paying “admin fees” when the agents could do the administrative work faster themselves and sometimes did.
He did not see the value in giving large amounts of his commissions to out of state franchisors who did little more than run a TV ad once in a while to promote their own brand – or sending an even larger portion to the local brokerage firm that provided no leads or real marketing support other than access to the MLS.
So he asked the question, “What tools does an agent need to be successful and how can those tools be provided to the agent at the lowest cost?”
The answers were not a big surprise – the real surprise was that none of the other firms were providing the core services that agents need:
·Like agent websites that allow clients to create their own searches and email reminders , schedule showings and join the agent newsletter or blog
·Custom sign riders, wood signs and directionals printed in house so you never have to apologize to a client while waiting on a sign company to get your order right
·Email newsletters, auto responders and drip email campaigns to help communicate with your contacts and build an even larger contact database
·Follow-me telephone answer technology that makes sure you never miss an important call and send those not so important calls to your message service
·A dedicated local efax number because access to a fax from anywhere at any time is one of the most important tools for a real estate agent
·Free recorded messages and fax on demand information provided for each listing with a toll-free number and three digit extension
·Color presentation folders, brochures, thank you cards, letterhead and initial business card order
·A centrally located office at the Brookwood Interchange with an 8 person conference room, private offices and use of copier, fax and internet ready workstations or bring a laptop for wireless internet access
·Listing Services – all the major residential and commercial services and then some: FMLS, GAMLS, LoopNet, and CoStar as well as Dorey’s publications and the Commercial Board’s Exchange Mail
·Internet Marketing – post your listings to AJCClassifieds.com, LandandFarm.com, LandFlip.com
