So This is what it’s like to have heaven on earth…

10. Posted the homes on the MLS. Captured the home in the best light and staged the homes so it would be inviting and attractive to a homebuyer.

9. Ordered For Sale signs to be planted into the front yard. Kept a good supply of flyers available so those who pass by the home have ready access to preliminary information that would serve to entice the prospect to call on the home.

8. Blasted out flyers to homes throughout the neighborhood. Marketed my name on these flyers so those in the neighborhood will think of me the next time they want to list a home.

7. Broadcasted the listing on multiple websites for home selling to reach the online population of home shoppers. Many prospective homebuyers are now going online to do their own research on homes. The many sites out on the web that generate good amounts of traffic are ideal for targeting these homebuyers.

6. Mentioned the homes to other agents and offices.. Sent emails, made phone calls, and let as many people as possible know about the available homes.

5. While attending meetings and other professional association gatherings, highlighted the available homes. Brought along presentations of the homes with great photos and created bullet lists of all the great points about the home.

4. Cold called to homes in the area to inform the neighbors of the availability of the homes. This accomplished two things at once, I was able to inform the neighbors of the home so if they or someone they know are interested, the house could get a buyer. In addition, I was able to put my name out there to all those in the neighborhood so they know who I am.

3. Once the calls came in from interested buyers, screened them on their ability to purchase the homes. Verified that the prospects who were calling in are in a position financially to qualify to purchase the home and close it out. This includes checking the credit scores, downpayment available, income, and debts.

2. Collected all the paperwork needed to open up escrow for the listing. Confirmed that the contracts were written up thoroughly and all details were covered so that both sides are clear on the expectations of the terms of the agreement.

1. Deposited the commission checks from the sold homes!!! 10 homes SOLD in 60 days! In addition to being able to help others locate the home of their dreams, to get paid for it as well!

Your mouth must be gaping wide open with shock and curiosity. This sounded too good to be true! What am I smoking? No, not really as I don't do that. What am I drinking? No, I don't do that either. Is this a dream? No, I'm wide awake (well rested, 8hrs sleep yesterday). Yes, I'm sober if you can imagine that after you read this article.....alright I'll let you in on this secret.

It may have crossed your mind that the 10 steps listed for accomplishing the task of selling these 10 homes was written in the past tense.. This HAS already happened. YES! this DID happen ... just not yet. This is the goal a real estate agent buddy of mine is working on right now.....working backward to make this a reality. : ) I can see there is some value to the technique since most of the success in life begins in your mind. You have to see it for yourself before you can make it happen. By keeping the goal ahead in your mind, you can continually become absorbed in only the type of busy work that gets you closer to the target achievements.

The activities listed in this article will help you to get your mind wrapped around the need to go out and get new business so that you can attract what you want. Give it a try and push yourself to possibilities you may never have thought about before. The results will speak for themselves when you find yourself meeting up with more opportunities just because you are already in the mindset to accomplish this task. To sum up, as one of my favorite quotes states, “Today’s preparation determines tomorrow’s achievement." So take the steps outlined to prepare yourself for massive success..

'Til then we meet again.
