Niche Marketing For Real Estate Agents

What is the quickest way to waste money in real estate?
Market to an area that is too wide and diverse.

Just imagine all those real estate postcards and flyers going out to thousands of people who are NOT interested in them. You may as well throw your money in the trash can. That’s where your carefully thought-up marketing campaigns are going.

So what to do? Choose real estate niche marketing.

There are so many niche markets to choose from that it would be impossible to have enough agents to cover them.

Conversely, there are millions of Realtors who are all vying for a big piece of the bigger pie. You can choose your niche in many ways.

A geographical farm area is the easiest niche market to work within especially if it is near your home. It simply makes sense to cut down on traveling costs.

If you are fluent in a second language, an ethnic group could be an excellent niche to choose.

You may decide that you love vacation homes, the elderly, or the world of business people. Other real estate marketing niches could include vacation homes, baby boomers, the elderly, teachers, nurses, or fireman. These are all legitimate real estate niche groups worth consideration.

Most of these niches are likely under served by a real estate agent.

Realtors usually send those generic brochures that offer no value and end up in the trash.

Once you have researched and become familiar with your selected niche, you can target their specific problems and perceived needs.

Once the people in your target market suddenly realize that here is someone who knows about them, how they feel and what they need, guess whom they will be contacting when they need a Realtor?

Your brochures, postcards and business card will end up stuck on their refrigerators with magnets. Hey, you could always stick the magnet on the back of the brochure yourself.

So do you have real estate marketing dollars to throw away, or will you choose a niche market and become a big fish in a little pond?

By providing quality information suitable to your target niche, often enough to keep your name in their minds when they think real estate.

It’s impossible to do this with a huge area. There is no way any one person could get to know the specifics of a whole city – or even half of it.

Most real estate agents like to target an area of somewhere between 500 to 1000 homes, as that number is comfortably workable for one Realtor.

Niche marketing will eliminate most of your competition. You can be the expert – and will be – on your area. You’ll enjoy it so much because you are working within the area of your interests. And you’ll soon be so familiar with it that other Realtors will begin to ask you for advice. The right real estate marketing tools can help you to take advantage of the many changes in the real estate industry today.
