Commercial Real Estate Agents – Market Yourself Successfully with Commercial Property News Service

In commercial real estate there are limited ways in which you can differentiate your services and yet the property market is so competitive.  So what can you to build some factors that differentiate you as a property expert?  Obviously you can and should be the expert agent at selling and leasing certain property types in your location; beyond that you should create a presence and prominence online so that people remember you when pressures occur for them locally in property.  You can integrate your online presence into your social media.

To help with all of this you can create a blog and incorporate into that blog a ‘commercial property news service’.  The concept is informational and not something you design for pushing listings (you should already have websites for that).  Keep the blog for the purposes of talking about local property market trends in your town or city and include with that policy changes, opportunities, and investment strategies.  At least 3 times per week you can write something about property activities and observations for your area.

Many agents will struggle with this concept simply because they do not have the time or the focus to stick with it to the end.  This then leaves the matter for agents that really can focus on building local property presence.

  1. Transport – Look at the transport solutions that businesses and the community requires. Are things changing?  Are they improving?  Visit the ports and airports to get ideas that will help you with writing articles about transport shifts and changes.
