Marketing Tip of the Week

Issue 57

Influencer Collaborations

Hey, fellow agents. Here’s a fresh way to give your listings an extra boost—partner with local influencers. These aren’t just folks with big followings; they’re trusted voices in the community who already have your audience’s attention. When they highlight a property, their followers pay attention—and that kind of exposure is gold.

Think about it, a short walk-through, a fun Reel, or even a quick story from a lifestyle blogger or community figure can put your listing in front of hundreds (or thousands!) of potential buyers who may not be scrolling the MLS. It adds credibility, creates buzz, and shows your clients you’re thinking outside the box.

Plus, it’s a win-win. Influencers get fresh content, and you get a whole new level of reach. It positions you as a savvy, connected agent who knows how to market in today’s world.

So don’t be shy—reach out, collaborate, and let these local voices shine a spotlight on your next listing. Sometimes, all it takes is the right person talking about the right home at the right time. Ready to give it a try? Let’s swap ideas in the comments!

Thought of the Week

Balancing Brand and Conversion - The Real Estate Tightrope We All Walk

Short-term wins are great, but long-term trust builds the business

Start with a Win, Stay for the Legacy

We’ve all been there—those quick wins that make you want to fist-bump the air. A referral comes through, a lead converts on your landing page, or your latest open house brings in three ready-to-buy buyers. That high? It's addictive. But while conversions keep the lights on, your brand is what keeps clients coming back—and referring their friends, too.

Your brand is your handshake, your reputation, and your follow-through—wrapped up in a package that says, “I’m here for the long haul.” So how do we balance chasing conversions without leaving our brand behind in the dust?

Conversions Feed Today, Brand Feeds Tomorrow

Let’s be honest—when you need leads, you're tempted to shout “Buy now! Limited-time deal!” from the rooftops (and maybe even from the rooftops of your listings). But hammering conversion messages 24/7 without nurturing your brand makes your business feel a little like a used car lot, a.k.a. transactional, not transformational.

Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room. It’s how you follow up after a showing, how you educate your clients, how you show up consistently—whether or not there’s a deal on the table.

Blend the Two Like a Marketing Smoothie

So how do we strike the balance? Mix your messaging. Create content that shows your expertise (conversion) and your personality and values (brand).

• Share client success stories that highlight your unique approach
• Offer valuable advice that positions you as the trusted advisor, not just another salesperson
• Show behind-the-scenes moments, community involvement, or even your favorite local coffee spot

And yes, sprinkle in the calls to action—but let them ride the wave of trust you've already built.

Build Trust, Reap Results

A well-crafted brand earns conversions. It attracts people who want more than just a deal—they want a partner. And when the market gets noisy (which it always does), the agent with the loudest “brand voice” often outlasts the one chasing only the next click.

Pro Tip: Your "brand" is what your customers and clients say about you and not what you say your "brand" is.

What about you? Do you lean more toward conversions or branding in your strategy? Let’s talk shop—share your thoughts!

Maximize Your Real Estate Business Success

Book Club

Never Split the Difference Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Christopher Voss and Tahl Raz The next section takes us deeper into advanced techniques for handling tough negotiations and getting the best possible results. Key Points: Bend Reality: Use time pressure, perceived competition, and "loss aversion" to guide people toward making decisions. Anchoring with an Extreme Offer: Setting an extreme (but reasonable) initial position can shape expectations and create room to negotiate. The F-Word—Fair: People hate feeling like they’re being treated unfairly. Use the word “fair” strategically to reset negotiations. This book has really challenged my thinking. I would normally avoid leading negotiations with an extreme offer, fearing it would scare people off and immediately kill the deal. However, after learning how to do it the right way it made me realize I’ve been leaving money on the table. I was eager to test these techniques in real estate negotiations. Please share your thoughts on whether you've already read it or are reading it now. I would love to hear what you think! And, if you're looking for more inspiring reads, don't forget to check out my book 📚 club.

Thank you for reading Agent Marketing Moves. I'll be back with another issue next week!

Yours truly,

Michael B. Founder of Titus Media Solutions Author of Agent Marketing Moves
