This site is dedicated to helping you do all three. It's a work in progress, so come back often for new "free letter" offers, and new products and services designed to help you build your business.

You may have a page on a company site, and that's fine. But to really promote YOU, you need your own website.

Buy your own domain name and have it registered only to you. After seeing friends get into all kinds of long drawn out messes over this issue, I can tell you that this is absolutely vital.

Tie your domain name to YOU, not to the company you work for. You may be very happy where you are, but things can change.

When you choose a website provider:

• Make sure that you have the right to use any copywriter you choose - not just the copy they provide.
• Make sure that you will have easy access to make changes as you see fit, any time you want.
• Make sure that you'll have the ability to add pages.
• Don't get restricted to some little "box" for your promotional message.

What belongs in an agent website, and why?

We all have our own opinions. You can read mine at Copy by Marte.

This is the document that allows your prospective clients to see who you are and what you stand for. If there is one page on your website that deserves extra attention, I believe that it is this one, because in today's world, people need a reason to trust.

Staying in touch via postal mail or email is one sure way to be the agent your prospects think of when they're ready to buy or sell homes or land.

But... writing effective real estate prospecting letters means spending at least a couple of hours on each one - and that's if you enjoy writing. If you don't enjoy writing, you could spend many more hours.

Now you don't have to take that time away from meeting clients face-to-face or enjoying free time with your friends and family. Now you can simply choose one or more of 20+ pre-written real estate prospecting letter sets, personalize them, load them into your computer and/or your autoresponder, and you'll be finished in less time than it takes to write just one good letter.

Choose from Letters to Buyers or Letters to Sellers.
