It's time to find your marketing rhythm! Most Real Estate Agents struggle with marketing. After all, we sell homes. There's no reason selling our services should come naturally. Short cuts won't cut it: purchased leads often lead to ransom results. Meanwhile, gimmicks get old, and shouting about success turns out to be one of the least successful things you can do.
But there is a way to build a loyal, passionate, and constantly growing group of clients who can be the basis of a flourishing real estate business in any market.
You will even see high-quality leads brought to you - for free.
Author and Realtor® Shelley Zavitz got thrown into the marketing deep end at the start of her first award-winning career, in radio. By the time she took up real estate, she had pieced together the down-to-earth system for success revealed for the first time in this book.

Welcome to real estate! This Kickstarter work is made for pre-licensed, aspiring agents, with all the tools you will need before you quit their day job! It is meant to arm you with information so that you can make positive decisions for yourself and your family.
Kickstarter is a workbook that takes you through the seven levels of thinking you must consider BEFORE you start your real estate business.
Kickstarter will teach you how to choose a brokerage, what to ask them and how to compare are outlined in this book. By the time you finish the exercise, you’ll know exactly who fits with you!
Real estate is about closing transactions, but first, you have to find someone to work with. With Kickstarter, you’ll get a detailed way to analyze your community, friends and family to see if you can close a transaction in the first year. Your brokerage/team lead will rarely hand you someone to work with. You must know how to find clients yourself. The Kickstarter workbook will help with that.
Kickstarter will work you through your 30 day and 90 day launch plan. After all, just getting your license doesn’t help you close transactions. It will take at least 3 months to close your first transaction. Some real estate agents have reported only closing one transaction in the first year of their business.
Kickstarter will help you understand what type of launch budget you’ll need and how to save the nest egg required to succeed in your first year. Over 80% of real estate agents are unsuccessful in staying in the business after their first year, and most of it could be traced back to poor management of funds out of the gate.
You’ll also learn the inter workings of a business. What hats you’ll wear and your responsibilities. Kickstarter breaks down step by step all of the responsibilities you’ll have as a new real estate agent. From contracts, to lead generation, to marketing to showing homes, you’ll find there is a lot more to it than just opening doors for buyers or putting up a sign for sellers.
Know before you go, and get the Kickstarter workbook and crush your first year as a real estate agents.
