Back from the Brink: How Online Marketing Let One Broker Adapt and Survive in 2008 and Prosper Today
RISMEDIA, October 27, 2009—Like many truly outstanding real estate professionals, Richard Beckman faced the monster of 2008 without really understanding why things went so universally bad, so quickly. It took a while for most of us to realize that a combination of factors had produced a “Perfect Storm” of disaster for much of the residential real estate business and that only those capable of adjusting and adapting to the new reality would survive and prosper in the future. Unlike many, Beckman did adapt and he has survived (with his Richard Beckman Realty Group, LLC. in suburban Seattle) and now he is back to prospering. He closed 11 transactions in September and is on track to close 40+ this year. “When the market was roaring along, I personally used to close over 52 sales a year—now our team will do 40 and we consider ourselves fortunate to do so. The Seattle market is coming back now, and we are looking forward to a solid 2010.”
Would you like to have a whole new source of business?
Beckman mentioned being on page one of Google for the above phrases; fact is, he is found on the first pages of the search engines on over 1,000 different search phrases. Since he subscribed to CompassSearch, over 62,000 people have come to his website because of his subscription. About 20,000 Web visitors annually go to Beckman’s website, a solid base of traffic that enabled him to branch into property management and rental properties without missing a beat. Chances are, if Beckman wanted to start selling boats, cars, airplanes or widgets, he would dominate the search engines for those, too. Once you dominate your geographic identifier—your hometown marketplace or any marketplace you choose—you are found under so many different iterations that it almost defies belief. Being found will not sell homes all by itself, however. There are two other major steps to be taken, but if you cannot be found on page one of Google, Yahoo and bing! for your marketplace, you don’t need to worry about those other steps because no one will contact you. If you are waiting for the big time corporate site to bail you out, it’s been nice knowing you. You must take your Internet destiny into your own hands. Take control of your marketplace and take control of your own income and success, for good.
His sure fire method of closing all listing presentations
“I always ask them if their home could be found on the first page of Google when a homebuyer types in Mason County Real Estate, do they think their home would sell faster? They always answer ‘Yes.’ I then pop open my position report from Compass, show them my search engine positions and guarantee them that they will be on the first page of Google when they list with me, because I am on the first page of Google, Yahoo, MSN and all the rest, too. If there are any doubters at this stage, I turn my laptop around and say “go ahead. Go to Google and enter Mason County Real Estate (or any of the other terms I dominate). When I pop up, they are amazed and impressed. Every consumer today recognizes the selling power of the Internet and the advantage of being on the first page of the search engines. They get it. Once I prove to them that they can have that tremendous advantage, they are sold on listing with me and with Richard Beckman Realty Group, LLC.”
Richard’s lesson is just as vital today as it was then
There will be lots of closings in November, due to the First-time Homebuyer program (odds are it will be continued in some form) deadline. Many agents will make lots of commissions. There won’t ever be a better time to do now what Beckman did then: Establish yourself online. Maybe it won’t “save you” if another monster comes to our doors, but it certainly will broaden your client base, bring new prospects to you and enable you to earn a good living, regardless of what the markets are doing. Take a few of those commission dollars that flow now and get established where people can find you- online.
“2008 was a tough year,” Beckman told me. “Ninety percent of my property management marketing and expansion was done online. Had I not shown up on the first page of Google under Mason County Property Management I don’t believe I would be here today. Now that we made it through the bad times, it feels really good to get back to our real business—helping people buy and sell real estate. Also, I must say that I can’t speak highly enough about the CompassSearch service. Not only are they responsible for the internet buyers we’ve picked up, but they are also responsible for the listings, property management, and rentals. That’s a pretty remarkable return on a $3,400 investment and that’s one reason that I love the service.
