Welcome to the Sell with Soul VIP Lounge. At the request of several readers, I have consolidated all the random pieces of information referenced in my books (and elsewhere) onto one, easy-to-navigate page.
So, below you will find my checklists described in SWS, sample client communications including a listing presentation, book recommendations and links to vendors. Enjoy! Go Get 'Em.
Website Links
|
Visual Tour
I have used Visual Tour for years to create my own virtual tours. You don't need any special equipment beyond a decent digital camera, preferably with a wide angle lens. By creating your own virtual tours, you have complete control over the content and quality of your tours, and you can make changes to the tour to your heart's content. The software is relatively easy to learn and navigate. I also use my Visual Tour program to advertise my rental properties, as well as the rental properties of my friends and clients (value-added service!). It costs around $30/month for unlimited tours, plus a one time fee to purchase the software and license. |
|
CPG Tours
While not technically virtual tours (CPG doesn’t offer photo-stitching panoramic capability), these tours are easy to create, attractive and, best of all, very affordable! Just $15/month for unlimited tours and you can test-drive it free for fourteen days. |
|
MyFax
I use MyFax for all my incoming faxes. Instead of receiving paper faxes, I get my faxes as an attachment to an e-mail which is a huge convenience for me. The attachment comes in pdf form, so you can forward it on to clients, lenders, other agents, title representatives without the dreaded fax-of-a-fax-of-a-fax syndrome! |
|
LinkURealty
A website for real estate agents that offers template convenience with build-from-scratch flexibility. |
|
Ubertor Real Estate Websites
This is the site I used to build my own real estate website (www.charmingolddenver.com). I’ve tried several template sites and this one was the easiest and most flexible to use, without too much extra fluff to confuse me. So far, the customer service has been exceptional. |
|
iHouse Real Estate Websites
I used to use this company because they are probably the easiest website to set up and get running. However, the templates are rather inflexible, so if you have a particular look or navigation strategy in mind, this is not the website company for you. It’s great for beginners, though! |
|
Constant Contact
An online newsletter program, very easy to learn and use. 60-day trial period. Receive a $30 credit when referred by a current subscriber. Email me for a referral if desired. |
|
Expired Plus
A terrific program designed to teach agents how to aggressively, yet respectfully approach expired listings. |
|
Gary Hall
Gary is an expert on all things CMS (CMS = Contact Management System). If you're trying to decide between Top Producer or Agent Officer or Realty Juggler or Excel or Outlook... Talk to Gary. Or, at least check out his highly informative website. |
|
MoreSolds
A new contact management system solution for less than $10/month! |
|
Realty Resource
I use Realty Resource for my business cards, mainly because they can accept your business card design from a Publisher file! Their turnaround time is quick and their prices are reasonable. They also offer farming and other self-promotion services for real estate agents. |
|
Evans Studios
Need to design a logo, brand or custom signature? Need an affordable website? Personal brochure? Call Sheryl Evans - she'll take great care of you! |
House of Magnets
I've been working with the House of Magnets for several months now to create a super-cool magnetic product that ISN'T cheesy! They've been fantastic to work with, both on this project, and on my Referral Directory magnet project. Here's more information on the Super-Cool product... it's still in the testing phase, so if you'd like to help us test it, just let me know! |
Online Forums
|
Active Rain
The busiest and most respected networking and blogging site for real estate agents. Be warned, blogging is addictive! |
|
Agents Online Forum
An extremely active forum for real estate agents. Tons of good information, entertaining (although often unsoulful) commentary, lots of interesting characters. Join me on the Agents & Brokers forum! |
The SWS Forum
Of course, if you're looking for the coolest forum, look no further than right here! |
Note - Many of the sample forms and documents included in the VIP Lounge are also available in editable form in the Sell with Soul Mega-Toolkit - that is - you can simply open them in Word and make changes as needed for your business.
