Agents - Get Your Clients Into The White House

Now that I have shared this with my valued clients, I thought I'd share something for realty agents to share with some of their buyers and sellers. Especially those with teen children.

The deadline is coming up for applications for interns - at The White House. What does this have to do with Real Estate? Nothing.

What does this have to do with your appropriate buyers, sellers, and clients? It could a lot. In this (or, for that matter, ANY) real estate market, agents need to distinguish themselves. Not just sending out newsletters and reminders which have no bearing to the local market or what he/she is all about.

Suppose you have clients with children in high school. This is a reason to call or e-mail them and suggest that (names) apply for a White House internship. This shows your clients you are thinking of specifically them. They may pursue it, they may not. But chances are they'll tell others about what you did for them.

Once you get their attention, send them this link:

Of course, I suggest to my advertising and marketing clients that they follow back in a few weeks to ask if (name of child or children) applied. Maybe they received a response from someone at the White House! Trust me. You'll get a more favorable reaction than if you called them to ask about local home prices.
