Practical, simple, effective. That’s how real estate agents describe Every Day Agent by Whitney Ellis. An experienced agent and broker, Whitney witnessed good people giving up too quickly because they were licensed—but never really trained—in how to sell real estate. Whitney perfected her Every Day Agent system while helping 200-plus real estate agents jumpstart (or restart) their careers. Now, Whitney shares her proven strategies and profoundly simple methods—that add up to more listings, closings, reliable income, and lasting success. Working Florida's most finicky markets, Whitney practiced all that she preaches through good times and catastrophic downturns. Like bottled lighting in quick-to-read chapters, Every Day Agent tells new and seasoned real estate agents what they need to do every day to succeed. From how to get leads and listings to tried-and-true methods used by sales veterans, readers will get started on the right foot to ramp up in real estate sales.

Most real estate agents struggle with marketing. After all, we sell homes. There’s no reason selling our services should come naturally. Shortcuts won’t cut it: purchased leads often lead to random 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. The secret lies in an authentic, empathic, and creative approach that any real estate agent can adopt and get results with. It’s based on proven marketing and copywriting principles that have stood the test of time. And it’s an enjoyable and engaging process that will not only set you apart from your competitors but make you a better Realtor® in the process. 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. With a little help from the musical megastars who inspired Shelley along the way, Marketing That Moves People is your number-one guide to cutting through the clutter and standing out in the ways that really matter to those you seek to serve.
