This is perhaps the most important question a real estate agent - or any business owner, for that matter - could possibly ask. Its significance stems from the fact that your marketing is the engine that drives your business. Without a power source to propel it onwards, your business will stall out and eventually stop completely.
If you're like most real estate agents, then you find it difficult to track the finite details of your business - your money, the results of your advertising, client retention, days on market numbers, list-to-sale price ratios. The list is truly endless. But, just like filing your income taxes, tracking is an essential task. Have you learned your lesson from last tax season?
If there's one thing I'm sure about when it comes to real estate agents, it's that we're a frugal lot. We don't like to spend money on anything. Part of this comes from a consumer culture that tells us to "Save... invest... then save some more."
