With Still Real Estate Images And Thrown Together Copy...It's Single Shot Marketing.

    

There's a song by Billy Joel that says "If you want to have a hit, you have to make it quick, so they cut maine geese familyit down to 3:05."

The same applies with real estate video. Round up your listing videos, get them uploaded, broadcasting the message about the property, area, brand you market day in and day out. Not just the most expensive real estate listings. Video the ones you want to sell, need to sell to buy groceries, put shoes on the kids's feet.

With video you have a machine gun approach, spraying information at 30 frames per second and hitting deeper using all five senses of the viewer. Hate to use the expression but it's true..that's the real estate target. And you want lots of real estate "ordinance" spraying up and down, all around that target to get their attention, to penetrate and make your properties memorable. A video experience that causes them to email, call and visit to ultimately buy the property.

     With still images and a few lines of copy, you have single shot hunting going on for a real estate buyer. Not much of an impression, just a pin prick and not so memorable. But everyone else does it that way..has for years, why do I have to change? You don't. But you should have long before now. To avoid it, put it off, to wait for a rainy day, an opportune time.

Not doing real estate video. Is that representing, marketing the best you can with over the top, ferocious "fire in your belly" all out, full throttle effort and passion? No it is not.

You are the local real estate professional, a Realtor that loves your job right? Then "fade to black" after "3:05" as Billy says or in this latest case I created, 3:15. Real estate video peppers the buyer from all directions and plants more "desire-get-into-action mental seeds" than just a couple images and few lines of blah blah blah, same old copy about the real estate listing. Video showcases the area, brands the real estate broker, puts the buyer at the propert. And  they walk thru with you as you talk one on one to them, not at them. Think of not showing the place one buyer at a time, but hundreds of buyers each day to get that property under contract, with your sale pending panel screwed on top of your real estate sign quickly. That's the idea right? Time is money and your seller, buyer needs to get moving...literally, no?

     A real estate "capsule", mini-series starring your newest ME listing video that you are excited about, telling the world about...wandering around and thru with the video open house where no one has to take off their shoes. And they can tour the places anytime 24-7, anywhere in the world..over and over until it "feels like home". Friends, families, bankers, neighbors can all get a link to see the place which is especially important if the extra viewers are the ones putting money into the purchase, making it happen for the new buyer. Real estate video...don't just talk about someday, you'll look into it if you have time. It maine real estate logo,mooers realty office agencysaves time, and buyers / sellers demand it. Maine, get here quick as you can. What are you waiting for?

What Makes You Angry, Your Blood To Boil, To Pound Your Fist On The Dashboard?

    

Getting cranked up, irritated, agitated, hot and bothered?

Anger. Is it your nature or is a big part of it where youangry turtle live? If you travel a long distance to work in a city, living in the suburbs because of the home price tags being lower the further out you go, that drive is a stressor. You are upset with the long line of traffic and breakdown ahead on the the way in this morning. And slowly like a pressure cooker, getting uptight, upset, angry. You know there is nothing good that comes out of the anger. You also now know you should have left earlier for work or taken a different route. (Spinning radio dial..looking for a helicopter traffic report).

     Sometimes the anger that makes you feel flat, listless the rest of the day from a meltdown may make you realize the cause if not bad parenting, poor dna but living in a place that is loaded with anger minefields. Another example of being a city mouse and causing anger easily, is your car.

If you drive a beater, you don't care if a shopping cart pinstripes the side of it because the door colors don't match anyway.

The Yugo, Gremlin, Pinto or Vega you drive is not something a car jacker wants to steal so it is always waiting for you when you come out of Target, Walmart, a big box store. But if you had a prize possession you worked hard for and have ten more years of payments on like an Alpha One Hummer, suddenly the missing mirror that was ripped off for the fun of it, the keying of the side with "Jimmy loves Susie" triggers a rage, a jaw dropping, tongue hanging rampage to find the culprit. All this stress, having to carry a taser, paying a huge mortgage, having an insurance cinderblock around your neck..It is worth it? Nice Hummer, great home, super collection of toys in the garage...but just stuff and your maine horses,maine country farminsides are stewing more than they are singing. Ulcers, depression, the life conveyor belt under your feet is moving faster and faster. What stops it, how do you get off? A stroke, divorce, bankruptcy, a criminal conviction for assaulting another motorist or the kid who keyed your Hummer?

     Eating on the run thru the drive thrus along the way...watching a stomach tire develop around your waist, pulling out the few hairs you have left. And when you look in the mirror...wow...do you look old and Grecian formula is not going to tip the scales of time back to the age printed on the license you sit on. Getting home late, leaving early and missing your family that is growing up without you..are you happy? Country living, slower paced, sane, healthy, fun. Maine...can you hear it calling your name? Maine...get here just as fast as you can. Less people but ones that wave at you, hold doors open, stop to help and care about each other. No home alarms to remember the code for. Heck, I have no idea where the key to my house door is..we don't lock doors in a state that is the 4th lowest crime statistic. Northern Maine has 11 people per square mile. Folks respect each other's property, feelings, families. The small town communities help each other, care about others, volunteer and beam with local pride.  Is that what the doctor ordered to get back the old you...the one that was fun to be around, did not get angry and enjoyed life once upon a time not so long ago?

Maine Real Estate Sales Figures Are Up 13.76 % In June From A Year Ago According To MAR.

The official tally is in and the numbers are good, postive and here is some upbeat real estate news from maine coat of arms,me crestMaine. Here's the latest press release hot off the press from the Maine Association Of Realtors.

(Teletype sound in the background)

SOUTH PORTLAND (July 23, 2009) - Maine real estate sales are on the rise. According to
the Maine Real Estate Information System, Inc., Maine's Realtors sold 1,133 homes last
month -- a 13.76 percent increase from one year ago. Home prices eased 9.57 percent to a
median sales price (MSP) of $170,000. However, this is an increase over May 2009's MSP of
$160,000. The median sales price indicates that half of the homes were sold for more and half
sold for less.
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) today reports a 0.2 percent rise in single-family
existing home sales across the country. The national median existing home sales price
decreased 15 percent to $181,600 in June 2009 compared with June 2008. Regionally, sales
in the Northeast dipped 4.7 percent in the past 12 months. The regional median home sales
price was $249,400, down 5.9 percent from June 2008.
REALTOR Alan Peoples of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Portland says the
Cumberland County market area is "currently heading in the right direction. We're seeing
improvement, the total number of units sold is getting better and values are holding. Lately
we've seen many more people viewing an available property, which is a strong sign." Peoples
advises sellers to "get aggressive early and be realistic and competitive.

Many buyers have grant opportunities through the Maine State Housing Authority, along with the federal $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit."


Following are two charts showing statistics for Maine and its 16 counties. The first chart lists
statistics for the month of June only, statewide. The second chart compares the number of
existing, single-family homes sold (units) and volume (MSP) during the Second Quarter
(April, May, June) of 2008 and 2009.

A Real Estate Hangover With Intoxicating Imagery, Video, Copy. (Groan..Can You Please Whisper?)

    

The Romans preached eat, drink and be merry and often left out the part about dying tomorrow.

Real estate to maine raspberry imagedie for, drop dead gorgeous property. Luscious, succulent, explosive flavors like these Maine raspberries picked and eaten ravenously. Our job as real estate professionals is not peddling property that when you come back to your senses is not what the buyer thought he/she/they saw, experienced during the fun and games leading up to the purchase.  Just before everything went somewhere in a hand basket when the real estate courtship stopped.

     Over the top real estate claims, boasts, and hyper-featuring way way beyond the actual property is not salemanship. It's real estate spin or manipulation but is not the actual property you are selling, marketing, promoting. Getting the interest of a real estate buyer with well shot imagery, interesting angles. Adding in well written descriptive copy and helpful narrated live video/audio touring the property inside and out is the key. Prompting them to ask questions. Sending them more follow up information, more images, and local community videos is the mission. Then making the desire within them to come actually see the place first hand the next goal with the final hope...the buyer gets into action and purchases. But if you go over the top and make exagerated claims, use images not even from the neighborhood or early photos that do not reflect the place now, oh oh. Oops.

    

Real estate expectations...your job as a real estate broker is to create the image in the buyer's head using a delicate, well chosen weave of images, video, copy. Then backing it all up with Mr Tour Guide, high-on-his-local-area polish on top of that.

Being helpful, service oriented and honest is the key.
