This is a copy of The Korn Team's Intake Form for Listings


Yellow Sheet
 

The Buyer Intake Form is Very Similar (but on Green Paper)
You could also put it on Blue paper (Yell'er fer Seller, Blue fer Buyer).
We used Green for MONEY!!!


This plan has generated an average of 2 listings per week for over the last 12 months. This plan was started in July 2003. We add approximately 5 people a day, and follow up this plan with the 33 Touch plan. We have these plans set up in our Online Agent database. Everything is automatic once we input the prospective client into the database. Once we meet someone we send them a hand written note, then follow up with 8 contacts in 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 weeks, we then keep in touch with the through 33 contacts a year...every year. forever!

This plan is a mailer that goes out to 15,000 neighborhoods per month. You would have seen these mailing pieces on the marketing tables throughout the conference. Each piece is custom for that neighborhood. This mailer generates us a minimum of 10 listing appointments per month. This particular mailer is researched, produced and mailed by a third party. If you did not get a copy of this mailer, click on the link above to see a sample.


Frustrated Seller Email/Letter


Automated Listing Action Plan

This is how we automate the follow up process with our Seller Clients. There are "on purpose" checkpoints to restart the action plans so we have a mental reminder that these clients have been on the market for quite a while.

One of the most important things we do it meet with them Face to Face EVERY 30 days. Face to Face can almost guarantee us a price change if we haven't had one prior to the meeting 9 out of 10 will sign price changes. Also, it re-confirms their commitment to The Korn Team and give them re-assurance they ARE with the right team...even though the process and the market has them doubting whether or not we are doing everything we can. Typically after 3 months or so, we found they have someone at work or church saying..."our Realtor sold our house in 2 days!" ...or...  another Realtor has met them and is saying, "I can sell your house if they can't, and I will do it cheaper!" (yea...RIGHT!!!)


We have to Custom Order Our Riders. The Stock Riders just aren't designed well. We want the
phone number and code to REALLY stand out! Remember, they are in their car in the street,
and you want them to be able to read it clearly as they ROLL past the rider. Not everyone will stop
to write the number down. We generate over 300 calls every month, and have for years.
(keep in mind that only equates to about 8 calls per property, per month - but with 60 listings, IT ADDS UP!)


Copy of our Magazine Ad

Our 800 Calls QUADRUPLED when we moved the 800# from the header of the ad...to the copy inside each ad.
Our 800# is the last thing they read which sub-consciously creates a call to action.


Our Property Brochures are designed for the Buyers. They include Nice cover sheet with bulleted list
and great pics of home (inside and out). We also include a Seller's Top 10 Favorites, Top 10 Updates,
Utilities, Estimated Payments, Plat Map, Warranty Info, Full MLS and anything else the Seller has

Here is a downloadable copy of our Booklet Template (You need Microsoft Publisher to Open)

Here is  the company info that we got or directional arrows from. We bought a bulk of 100 double sided signs, with 2 colors and the special included the cheaper stakes for about $350.

Script to Get Name, Address & Phone Numbers

keep in mind, this will not work if you get their email first. Also, before you make judgement on the script...listen to it all the way through.

 ...after you have them on the phone....get to the opportunity to use this script (typically within the first 10-30 seconds)

 "...you know, you are working WAY to hard. You are probably calling on some sign, calling on Ads from Homes Magazines, searching websites, etc. You are probably finding that many of those properties are sold by the time you call. (even if one of the properties they called on was not available...they will, in their mind, be agreeing with you) Did you know that the homes magazines are 2-3 weeks out of date? newspapers are typically 3-5 days out from the time we turn the ad in. Even the websites aren't picking up properties till 24-72 hours after they are on MLS.  Now, I would bet you are not only looking for your dream home...or a home that has just about everything you want, but I bet you would like to get it at a steal if you can.  You see, if your dream home comes on the market at a steal of a price, you may never see it. It will probably be sold before it gets advertised everywhere. Good deals are good deals for a reason, and they sell fast.

 

What I can do for you is get you set up on our "Instant Notification Program" and we will plug you DIRECTLY into our MLS system. We will send you properties the MINUTE they hit the market. In fact, if you receive an email from us at 11am, and you drive by it on your lunch hour, you could literally be one of the first people to see this property. What I will do is pull up all the properties as of today....now it may be a pretty big list and it will mostly be the LEFT OVERS. we will continue to send you the new properties as soon as they hit the market. I will go ahead and print this first batch. Where would I mail that to?  (pause...they will give you their address 80-90% of the time). GREAT! Now, if I see an incredible deal and I need to reach you right away, what would be the best number to reach you at? SUPER! Now...do you check email regularly? How about if I just email you this stuff and we can get you started right away? FANTASTIC!"

 You will never actually mail them anything. I think we get 1 out of 50 that don't have email. The key is to get their snail mail address and phone number so you can stay in touch with them better than just an email drip.

Idea: Listing Presentation (Power Point Viewer Required (on disk))

I have used this listing presentation for the last 14 years. It basically removes almost every objection, before the seller can make it an objection, and justifies why they should pay the full commission we charge. I do have a CD interview with Bill Hart that role plays the presentation. Contact me, or ask your favorite lender to get you a copy (if they are part of the Bill Hart CD club) if you would like to find out how to get a copy.

Idea: Buyer Presentation (Power Point Viewer Required (on disk))

This has helped our buyer transactions run so much more smoothly. It Helps our buyers find homes faster, and ensures a much smoother (than average) transaction. This information was put together from information that Shon Kokoszka at a StarPower covers in StarPower Buyer University.

Idea: Miscellaneous Tools  

We Use these tools on a Daily Basis and they have Helped our Business Become More Efficient. We generate over 300-400 leads per month from our 800# system with Information Now. There is a CD interview with Me, Jordan (the owner of Information Now) and Allen Hainge that describes our process and how we generate so many leads month after month. This link also includes everything from our award winning 'simple to use' website which was voted "Top 10 most profitable Real Estate Websites" by Realtor Magazine in Apr '02. The quickest way to synchronize Online Agent (or Top Producer 6i) using Go to My PC, and much more

Idea: Agent Flyers Sent to Offices

Did you know that about 75% of all sales happen through a coop sale situation? Our Flyers promote every listing we have and is sent out weekly (sometimes every other week) to every agent in our area. There are about 850 flyers that are hand delivered to every agent's mailbox every two weeks.

Idea: Press Releases

Korn Team Publicity articles available on our website at http://www.kornteam.com/rismedia.htm. Go to our website to find out how we won a 5 carat diamond from Realtor.com! Our Broker Agent Magazine Article talking about our move to Keller Williams. The article about our Website being chosen as one of the Top 10 most profitable websites. Successful Married Couple Working in Real Estate Together. Our article featured in Mr. Internets Newsletter and a few others. These articles will also help you understand how we use some of these systems in our business. Let us know if you have any questions.

Idea: Courtesy Moving Truck and Moving Boxes

We offer our Seller's and Buyer's all the boxes they need to move. They also have lifetime use of our Moving Truck for moving, picking up furniture or donating our truck for charity drives.
