The Easiest Way to Articulate Your Value
It’s busy out there.
One of the benefits of being busy is the ability to “stress test” your systems. It’s a perfect opportunity to recognize what’s working and fine tune what’s not. It’s also an opportunity for marketing gold – if you document it.
Last year, I decided to invest in my own staging inventory so that I could stage my own listings. The first couple of times took days to get everything moved and figured out. One of the good things about the boys being around all summer, is they were available to move furniture!
Fast forward to this month and we have listed, and staged, 5 homes. There was limited time to get it done, and no time to reinvent the wheel. We had to create a system. I would love to tell you that I’m able to create my systems before I need them, but for me, I need to get in there and figure it out in the moment.
The great news is that after staging 5 homes it was easy to spot the patterns, and see what worked.
From there, I created a checklist and turned it into a pretty pdf.
Now, I can save time when I stage, or hire someone to do it for me, and give them the list knowing that we will get the same result.
Best of all, I can share the pdf with my clients. What better way to articulate my value, than to share a detailed list of exactly what we do to get them amazing results?
They say that showing is better than telling. Seeing just how much we do for our clients has a lot more impact than us rambling off a list verbally.
What’s your system when you present and negotiate an offer for buyers? How do you vet offers when you are a listing agent? Those steps can be turned into flyers that you can share with your clients to help them understand your value.
Take 30 minutes to write them down and then have someone create a pretty pdf for you.
You are already doing the work, documenting it allows you to have others help and better articulate your value to your clients.
To your success!

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?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
