My friend Kim Robertson shared with me her pie giveaway event. She sent this text to her sphere. “Hey Laura! Thanksgiving is coming up, and I am thankful for you! Please click the link to let me know which kind of pie you’d like. I can’t wait to see you!” Here is the link to her google form she made so she knows how many to order of each kind. https://form.jotform.com/252997775932175

I’ve got one pro tip for you today. Go to buyerprediction.com. Enter in an address and price range and other details about the house. It will give you who the anticipated buyer profile is. Take that report and drop it in ChatGPT and ask for a specific marketing plan for that property focused on attracting that specific buyer, to get maximum attention possible and to solicit an offer within the first 30 days on the market. Boom!💥

If you want appointments this week, here’s a 10-minute challenge: 1. Text 5 people you know (friends, past clients, neighbors). 2. Keep it simple: “Hey [Name], how’s everything going this year?” 3. Don’t mention real estate unless they do. 👉 Comment below once you’ve sent your 5 texts — accountability gets results!
