How can you be 1% more visible?
Real Estate is a contact sport and this week my broker challenged me to become 1% more visible.
I’m a big believer that small changes yield exponential results, so this challenge was a perfect fit.
Each day I’ve been doing 1% more to connect with others and it’s a challenge I am now sharing with you.
Need some ideas to get you going? Try these:
- Make friends with social media: Whether it’s personal or professional, put it out there. Engage with people in conversations. It leverages your actions and makes you exponentially more visible.
- Get creative with your next mailing: Have you sold multiple houses in the same area? If so, send a postcard to those neighbors, letting them know that you are the area expert. Or do a mailing with a local business. Maybe a postcard with a coupon for a free ice cream cone. A great way to get some extra visibility for yourself and a local business
- Make 1 extra phone call a day: What if you could change your life in 4 minutes or less? Making 1 extra call a day can do just that.
- Say hello to the agents when you tour their homes: I used to blow through the brokers open houses as fast as I could and barely acknowledged the listing agent holding it open. Now, I slow down and take a moment to say hello and ask them about the house. You never know when the two of you will do a transaction together and having that relationship can make all the difference.
- Attend an event: It could be the weekly farmers market, a concert in the park, a fun raising event. The options are endless this time of year and most of them are free. Make it a point to attend something this week. I guarantee you will run into someone you know. And if you really want to kick the visibility up a notch, invite a client to go with you.
I’d love to hear from you. What can you do today to make yourself 1% more visible?

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
For 30 years I’ve planned a year at a time. But right now I’m doing things differently. I’m breaking my plan into 60-90 day chunks. Short term planning used to stress me out. It felt like there wasn’t any margin for error if I got off track. However, right now, it feels supportive. While I…
Why I Stopped Doing Open Houses The First Weekend
Open houses the first weekend – we all do them. We tell our clients it will increase exposure. But what if those open houses are making it more difficult to sell your listing? Consider this… Buyers have come to rely on open houses to view properties. It’s convenient for them, but it means fewer showings.…
What If The Market Is Better Than You Think?
Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now. For buyers: Prices are down (yay!) and interest rates are up (boo!). Buyers need to consider both. In many areas prices are down 10-20%.…

The Cost of Waiting
I’ve talked to many agents that are waiting….

The only thing worse than feeling stuck, is…
It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
