How to Show You’re a Skilled Realtor Without Overdoing It

As a real estate agent, you want to be able to gain trust in clients and buyers that you’re the one they should be talking to. In an industry that’s saturated with people vying for your sales, you need to stand out but not overdo the self advertisement. In this article, we’ll discuss how to show to buyers and sellers you’re a skilled realtor without overdoing it. 

Use Success Stories and Client Testimonials 

One of the great ways to show you’re a skilled realtor is by letting others speak for you. Testimonials, reviews and success stories are a great way of highlighting your skills and indirectly marketing yourself to future clients and buyers. This type of marketing has the ability to: 

• Help you market yourself 
• Demonstrate authenticity 
• Show new clients you have the required skills 

Using success stories and testimonials are a solid way to get more clients through the door. 

Just Sold Postcards 

Just Sold postcards showcase the recently sold properties you helped to sell. When using just sold postcards, some things to remember are: 

• Highlight your results and not just the sale. Focus on how quick the home sold, if it went above the asking price, and your ability to deliver without over bragging. 
• Provide a call to action to allow clients who are interested a way to contact you. Place your phone number or email on the card, and include any offers you want to run like a free appraisal. 
• Add a personal message on how you achieved results. Like setting up staging of the house to negotiating, This will highlight your skills without bragging too much. 
• Use postcards in a strategic way. If you’ve sold a property in an area, post them out to neighbors in the same area.
  

Use Social Media 

Social media is a powerful tool for anyone, especially realtors. When promoting on social media, try to: 

• Focus on the property you sold instead of you. Emphasize properties which you’ve sold and the success story around it. Were there any challenges you helped the client overcome? Did you get a higher price?
• Provide market trends and statistics about current local areas. Clients like to know a real estate agent is up to date with the latest trends. 
• Offer tips and tricks on preparing a property or how clients can get more money if they decide to sell. Sharing educational content is also helpful to show you’re knowledgeable in your field. 
• Host webinars and promote them on social media to help get some engagement, 
• Engage with any followers who may ask questions or respond to your posts. 

Social media and the technology behind it, is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to subtly advertise their skills without doing it directly.
