Blueprint for Excellence: Agent Marketing Plan

Think about your real estate brokerage business and what you do daily. How has your real estate market changed in the last 24 months? Where are the properties to be listed now, and how are they being converted?

It is a changing property market, and a strategic approach is required. Every agent should have a plan to find listings and market properties today.

The real estate market has settled into a ‘standard’ sell-and-buy cycle in most areas. That is likely to continue for some time. That means that every listed property must be extensively promoted. Let’s look at that.

Competing Properties

There are some ‘pressure points’ to consider. Several properties compete for the same limited inquiry in every traditional commercial, industrial, or retail property market.

As a result, when promoting a single property for sale or lease, the appropriate message and relevance to the interested parties must be provided. This is an instance of targeted marketing. Every agent should follow that procedure in every sale or lease transaction.

Some people you know may require your real estate assistance or services, which will help you understand target marketing for commercial property. In the first instance, you are continuously marketing yourself to a group of people, whether investors or business owners. Then, in addition to your processes, you promote your listed properties.

As a result, each listing should be targeted at buyers or tenants. People always want to buy, sell, or lease commercial real estate in any town or city. Use that fact to find the real estate people. It takes time and effort. Make that personal, and then build your real estate system around it.

Property Trends Today

We are now dealing with fewer property buyers and tenants than last year, and as a result, they are far more discerning as property-interested people.

When selling or leasing commercial property, the decision-making process can be slow or lengthy. Some prospective buyers or tenants will visit the property several times before making an offer.

As a result, to attract the right people, the marketing process for a specific property is much more critical today. That is where a real estate agent can help property owners gain a competitive advantage.

Real estate agents should always conduct market research, inquiries, and opportunities. The database they build of people and property situations is helpful for future selling and leasing opportunities. How extensive and current is your database?

Let’s investigate the local property market in your location. The investigation should focus on three key leverage areas for each property listing. They are typically as follows:

1. Look for Property Differences

Determine what sets this listing apart from others in the area. You should be able to identify at least four or five factors from each listing.

The elements you choose can then be continuously fed into the marketing programme. They should appear at the top of all real estate advertisements and brochures to ensure the target market’s attitude is always captured.

Some people will look at the same property advertisement in multiple media outlets. As a result, the marketing message must contain the same appealing factors.

2. Compelling Property Messages

Every property should be promoted with a consistent, motivating message. The message must be consistent across all advertisements, pamphlets, and Internet listings, and it must be a genuine motivator for the target market.

Have you defined the target market? What particular property characteristics are essential or relevant to your target market? How will your property deal with today’s market challenges?

Understanding the answers gives you a significant competitive advantage in your marketing and advertising strategy. Those elements can be incorporated into the advertisement design.

3. Property Use and Value

Depending on the circumstances, how can the existing property add value to the buyer or tenant? What advantages are available to the new property owner following the sale or lease?

These differentiators should be incorporated into your marketing strategy. A complete real estate SWOT analysis is an excellent way to approach this. You can do it from either an ownership or an occupancy standpoint.

Using Property History

Ask the client to provide some background on why they initially purchased the property as an added twist to the marketing process and solutions you can offer.

When you launch your new marketing campaign, the critical factors that led to their purchase may still be relevant today. There may be a story there that you can use in your editorials and promotional materials.

You can even ask other investors or business owners in the local area to see if the same issue of locational ‘value’ applies to them.

Local business owners and investors will be familiar with the ups and downs of property use, business function, and property ownership. They may be eager to share their experiences, which becomes a story for you in your promotional material.

Clear and Direct

Today, it is not challenging to market a commercial or retail property; all that is required is an apparent attitude, a promotional system, and a process of gathering relevant information and points of real estate attraction from the more significant business sector.

Always lock in your target audience with your staged marketing campaigns. Investigate the local real estate market as well.

Remember that if you are considering local property marketing, occupation, or ownership, the local business community is more likely to be knowledgeable about the factors of property appeal. So, ask questions and get feedback from the market.
