Brand Recognition That Is Off-the-Charts!

Who should listen: Anyone who needs to hear that there is no such thing as too much marketing.

Key idea: Take every opportunity and use every medium to consistently brand yourself.

Action item: Examine the ways in which you are branding yourself. Are you encouraging people to know, like, and trust you?

Mahsheed Parsons knows exactly how she managed to close $40M in sales in only seven months—she regularly and consistently takes every opportunity to brand herself.

She uses social media, mailers, radio, and billboards, and now she’s working on a television commercial.

When she markets homes, she uses a highly professional and experienced photographer and videographer to showcase the dwellings in their best light. As she says, when you’re in the luxury market, you need to step up your game.

The gifts she gives at closings are also opportunities to brand herself as the luxury agent of choice.

She provides custom pillowcases and bathrobes from designers like Louis Vuitton. She’ll have gorgeous floral arrangements delivered to a client’s new home. And she likes to give high-end candles in extravagant packages.

Of course, agents who are not working in the luxury market are probably not giving away items from Louis Vuitton, BUT the idea of copious branding applies to all entrepreneurs.

Listen to or watch our conversation about how to establish a brand with higher visibility that communicates credibility to all those within your sphere and beyond.

Then enjoy the advice Mahsheed offers about how to best use Instagram and how new agents can break into the luxury market.

Finally, we talk about giving back and how philanthropy from the heart can help you build a network, generate goodwill, and engender a spirit of reciprocity (i.e., referrals!).

Touring via FaceTime and other video streaming services is allowing agents to continue to get clients into new rental properties without risking the spread of the coronavirus. While video touring is working for some, it isn’t working for others who are opting to push their move dates, leaving realtors with a decline in business. AUSTIN, Texas – With a growing number of coronavirus cases across the nation, the real estate industry is taking a hit as the pandemic prompts people to stay home. “I haven’t done one tour in the past week and a half where I am typically touring five times a week with clients,” real estate agent Amanda Becker said to Fox News. “I have had about five of my 30 clients tell me that they are just going to renew, it’s just easier. And I have a few clients in the service industry, and they’re not working for the next six weeks so they are trying to put things on hold.” REAL ESTATE AGENTS SWITCHING TO VIRTUAL ‘OPEN HOUSES’ Smart City, which operates in Houston, Dallas and Austin, placed roughly 15,000 people in rental properties across Texas in 2019. Smart City is an apartment locating company that operates in three cities in the State of Texas. But this year may paint a different picture, as all three cities that Smart City operates in have seen more than 100 cases of the virus combined. The state total for Texas is more than 300 as of Monday. “Monday was the first day that we started to see a little bit of a reduction in people calling us for apartments,” Smart City CEO Cassie Brown said. The apartment-locating company is specifically seeing a decline in people opting to go out to properties to tour in person. “There is just a lockdown everywhere. Some properties are open and some are not and because people aren’t seeing all of their options, they are basically saying ‘Hey, we can’t make a decision right now,’” Brown said. Brown added that people are also canceling moving plans because of layoffs happening around the country. “I had a client who was trying to move in, they got here from out of state. And then as soon as they got their keys for their apartment, they were called and told that their job is no longer going to be a job,” Becker said. The problem stretches across the nation, impacting markets like Las Vegas. “On a weekly basis, I get about 30 to 50 phone calls a day, now, today, I have had five to 10 phone calls,” said the real estate agent, Mahsheed Parsons. Parsons, who owns Mahsheed Real Estate, she is having trouble getting clients to meet her in person after the governor ordered bars, restaurants and casinos to close earlier in March. “With the governor making an announcement that all of this stuff has to shut down… it is just a really weird time right now,” Parsons said. “I have never been able to see the streets as black as they are right now, like no traffic whatsoever, so people are listening for the most part, and staying home as we have been told.” The agents who spoke with Fox News say their clients have new demands, too. Some still want to tour properties but aren’t willing to go inside with an agent, forcing them to find new ways to do business. Real estate agents are turning toward technology to help them give property tours to their clients. Many agents are offering video and Facetime tours. These agents are now using technology to their benefit, doing virtual tours with their clients and even sending videos and photos to help them make a decision. “I have had two showings, and at both of them, there are agents doing virtual tours for their clients because their clients didn’t want to come… so they are doing a FaceTime.” Parsons said. “I had one client where I had to go open the house, and then I waited in the car while they went inside because it was something they said would make them more comfortable.” Smart City said their realtors are adopting the same practices. “My day-to-day now is just getting pictures and videos for my clients,” Becker said. “They are just having to trust the videos and the photos we send them.” Agents added this could be the new normal, as apartment management properties across the country are closing their leasing offices to the public. “I definitely feel that it will be the norm for at least the next month. I think things will get worse before they get better.” Parsons said. “This is definitely going to change all industries and how people are going to go about their lives.” Hunter Davis joined Fox News in 2019 as a multimedia reporter based in Austin, Texas.

For quite some time now I have had the urge to share my story. I just wanted people to know that it didn’t come easy. It wasn’t given to me. I went thru hell. Beyond hell. I had to dig myself up from underground basically. But I did it and am still doing it.

WINNER OF BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT I was nominated for the Silver State Awards XIV “Best Real Estate Agent” for the 2nd year in a row, amongst 3 other very successful agents. This year, in 2016, to my amazement, I won! It is really one of the best feelings to be recognized and honored for your hard work and more importantly for your role in the community. It is truly a blessing to even be nominated but to actually win the award, is a whole other feeling of greatness! I really am grateful every single day that I have a business I created from the bottom up, by working non stop for 10 years, that works! Not only does it work for me, but it works for my clients and it works for the community! Its a win, win and WIN situation for everyone involved! I always dreamt of being able to create security for myself so that I never have to rely on anyone in this life and through Real Estate I have been able to do this. At the same time, I dreamt of having the ability to make other people happy and through creating a level of success from real estate, I am able to do this. For example, I have the privilege of working with Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada and The Animal Foundation. Through Real Estate, I am blessed with the ability to bless those through these foundations and help make a positive difference in their lives. Other than being recognized for your hard work and efforts, having the ability to give to others something they need and make them truly happy, makes me happy every single day! It is a natural high for me! I love it! I love my clients/friends/family! I love this business and I am forever grateful for all the great people in my life who make all this possible, every single day! By doing the right thing, every single day and every second of the day. By putting out the right energy in this world. Miracles happen all the time!

APRIL 28, 2016 – YPN LAS VEGAS REALTORS TOP 40 UNDER 40 Last night I was inducted in the YPN Las Vegas GLVAR Professionals 2016 Top 40 under 40 Hall of Fame and it was amazing! After 10 years I feel like it is just the beginning for what is to come next. It is pretty incredible how much I have learned and experienced the past 10 years. I really feel the two most important things (at least for me) in creating the life YOU desire stems from the work you do on YOURSELF and A SOLID support system of friends, family, business colleagues etc. The wrong ones will distract you from your life purpose. The right ones will motivate and inspire you! Learning to differentiate those energies has been life changing! Words cannot express how much gratitude I have for all the LOVE I am surrounded by. Thank YOU! YPN Top 40 under 40
