Lawn Signs that get results
The Lawn Signs (available with your Real Estate Tools membership) are designed to get leads by advertising to a greater number of prospects. You can just imagine how powerful a sign is that advertises: “Zero Down, Poor Credit, First Time Buyer, Call for a FREE 2 minute Pre-qualification.” You can place these signs on your listings or even on the lawn of a For Sale By Owner you may not have the listing for. This is a powerful way of getting buyers and later getting the listing from the FSBO.

Ads that make your phone ring
You can advertise to people in the newspaper, Internet, and Real Estate magazines, in order to let potential buyers know that you are a Real Estate Agent that can get their deals done regardless of their situation or circumstance. These ads make your phone ring! Imagine an ad that invites renters to own a home with little or no money down. Think of the number of people who dream of investing in Real Estate, but think they need lots of money or perfect credit to do so. When you advertise your ability to show them available properties and find them the source of funding to get the deal done, your phone will ring!

> Referral Marketing Tools - Custom Newsletters
The biggest reason that referrals dry up after a month or two is that customers simply forget about your company. It seems incredible but it probably happens to both you and your competitors every day. When we interviewed successful companies we found that the marketing tool that had the most effect on repeat and referral business building was the monthly customer newsletter.
