There's now a great live training of this material, hosted by Casey Bryan! Access it HERE.
Below is a strategy to help you gain momentum in farming a neighborhood in order to win more listings! You will send 8 pieces over 8 weeks then 1 piece per month thereafter. Your first 8 pieces should look personalized to that homeowner and focus on the RELATIONSHIP. The next 12 pieces can be a mixture of general and personal- mailed and in person.
| Week 1: Send a Personal Notecard | |
| Send a hand-written notecard that is truly personal - NOT asking for business. | |
 Where to get it:BHHS branded notecards are available to purchase on Xpressdocs or you can go to the store and purchase your own. | Sample content: Hi _____,
Wishing you a Happy New Year! Hope this year brings you all the joy and well wishes! Hoping to talk soon! OR Hi There Neighbor!
Wanted to pop in to your mailbox to introduce myself. My passion is Real Estate and wanted you to know if there is ever any questions you have or advice you need I’m just around the corner and would be happy to help! |
| Week 2: Send an Item of Value | |
| Send a quick letter or print out of fun things happening in and around the community with a personal note. | |
| You'll need to use the internet (sites like Eventbrite) or a local newspaper to compile your information. You can also find a list of things happening around town on Facebook Events! Here's a power point template you can use to complete this week's task. |
|
| Week 3: Newsletter | |
| Send a newsletter of Real Estate Activity in the neighborhood. You can use MADI to design one. You are showing Homeowner’s actives, pendings and recently solds within the community. There is a flyer and other resources on MADI. Login to Cab Corner, click on the MADI Tile, navigate to the RESI GENERAL PROMO > Lead Generation > Prospecting Systems section. The flyer is called Neighborhood Activity. Pro tip: include a map of these homes! Batchgeo.com is a great free resource that allows you to upload an excel list of addresses and it'll place them on a map for you to then download as an image (png) to use within the design! *Per MLS rules, if you did not represent the sale then you do not have the copyright to share an image of the property unless you have permission from the listing/selling agent. That is why this flyer features text instead of images. |  Link to MADI |
| Week 4: Pop-By | |
| You will purchase a small item and clear plastic door hanging bags (Amazon) and create pop-by tags! Download the design of your choice, print on heavier card stock, and then cut them out! Attach your business card to the tag, and then attach your tag to the small items you've purchased. OR you can customize directly in MADI and have your contact information printed on the tags. Link to MADI When you're done, drop them off at each of your Farming Neighborhood doors! | |
Option 1 Item- Bag of Popcorn Tag- This may sound Corny… But I wanted to POP in and say hello!
| Option 2 Item- Goldfish box Tag- I’m fishing for your referrals- Let’s catch up!  |
Option 3 Item- Local Honey Tag- “The spring market is buzzing, I'd love for your home to bee my next listing!”
| Option 4 Item- Local Jam/Jelly Tag- Real Estate is my jam and I’d love to connect with you!
|
| Week 5: CORE Present CMA "Win the Listing" Presentation | |
| Print off a CORE Present "Win the Listing" Presentation for each house within your farming neighborhood and put them in a hand-addressed envelope to each home. Make sure to include the "What's My Home Worth" pages in the presentation! Need help? We've got a few resources that can help! Overview of CORE Present Creating a CMA in CORE Present  | Write a quick note on the front of each BMA!

| Week 6: Hand-Written Card | |
Send a hand-written card to follow-up on the report from last week. BHHS branded notecards are available to purchase on Xpressdocs or you can go to the store and purchase your own. | Sample note: Hi ____. I sent a quick report last week to give you a snapshot of your home’s value! I wanted to do a quick follow-up to make sure you received it and see if you have any questions.
If you ever need anything, even if it’s just advice- I’m just a phone call away and would be happy to help! All the best, Casey |

| Call each customer (use Remine to find phone numbers). Anyone you cannot reach, do another pop-by item. Not familiar with Remine? It's a great product provided by MFRMLS.
