ADVICE

Choose The Right Neighborhood

  • Pick a farm that is convenient, matches your price range, and has steady turnover.
  • Check multi-year turnover and avoid neighborhoods with turnover below ~4–5% unless you live there.
ADVICE

Commit To Consistent Monthly Touches

  • Be relentlessly consistent with monthly high-quality mailers and branded materials.
  • If you can't mail, print and door-knock, but maintain a repeatable schedule for at least 12–24 months.
ADVICE

Make Postcards Valuable And Varied

  • Use three content buckets on postcards: vendor discounts, event invites, and local info.
  • Also send just-solds and targeted listings to increase touch frequency beyond once a month.
