The Power of a Handwritten Note
Posted by The Cobb Group on
Sometimes I think we forget about the power of a handwritten note. As a real estate agent you can be so busy and want to get things done, so you opt for an email or text. However, sometimes we are missing out on an opportunity to really make an impact on how much we care. I’m not saying you have to do it for everything or even every time. I’m just saying that once in awhile, send the handwritten note instead. It doesn’t even need to be real estate related, just start getting in the habit. See what a difference it makes for other people.
Here are some suggestions on when you can send a real estate related note:
-
Phone call
-
Meeting someone
-
Coffee, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
-
After receiving a gift

❤️ Real Estate Crush of the Week: 27 Jarvis Creek Court
Posted by The Cobb Group on
I don’t usually post a weekly Crush on my own listings because…well you already get to see it. BUT there is something really special about this place, and I just can’t contain my excitement about it! Every single time (and I mean - Every.Single.Time) this neighborhood is the topic of discussion, all I hear is what an amazing family neighborhood it is. I also hear how everyone comes together and watches out for one another. It’s not often that you “know” before moving to a new community what to expect.
Some other great things:
-
4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and over 2,500 sqft
-
did you see all the deck space? it’s like an extension to the living areas. so pretty and right in the middle of nature
-
I love the flooring — the wider…

Sort Through Your CRM Contacts One by One; Filling in the Gaps
Posted by The Cobb Group on
Your CRM is the hub of your client operation. If you use it properly, your CRM tracks every client interaction, helps you identify lead opportunities, and gives you the tools to manage your lead funnel so that the most important clients get the attention they need at the time they need it.
A CRM’s effectiveness is extremely effective when your clients’ profiles are filled out with as much information as possible. A name, phone number, and email address are great, but imagine the sort of personalized, timely communication you could plan for your clients if you had birthdays, anniversaries, and closing dates?
Go through each of your contacts one by one, find and fill in as much information as you can. You will be so happy you did it later.

Hidden Opportunity While in Quarantine
Posted by The Cobb Group on
If you’ve been following me for any amount of time you know that the real estate business is not really about selling houses. It’s about building and maintaining relationships. Of course, we facilitate the buying and selling of houses, but without the human interaction, none of that can happen.
I read this recently and I think it’s a great idea. I’m going to call it the 5 - 5 - 5 -5 rule. I know it’s a little wordy but stay with me!
Make 5 calls, send 5 emails, send 5 texts, and mail 5 thank you cards each day.
Set aside some time to make five phone calls every day. These can be clients, friends, family members, ANYONE. Talk to them about what’s going on in their lives, tell them about your new normal, and of course, chat about the real estate…

❤️ Real Estate Crush of the Week: 2 Spinnaker Court
Posted by The Cobb Group on
I’m sure you can guess why I picked this home but in case you can’t…Heritage! As soon as I saw it, I was so excited. We’ve all seen it when we’ve been to the tournament along the 18th green and we’ve all thought — this is perfection for Heritage. While we might not be able to go to the most coveted spring event of the South, we can at least plan for next year. Who’s in?
Besides Heritage, it has:
-
5 bedrooms, 6 baths, and over 4,300 sqft
-
an elevator to all levels which is amazing because the top floor is way up there!
-
the woodwork is so pretty that I could stare at it for days
-
the rooftop has a tv, wet bar, bathroom and 360 degree views
-
it comes furnished
-
did you see the view?…

Texting your clients
Posted by The Cobb Group on
Nothing beats face to face interaction, but as a real estate agent text messaging can be one of your best prospecting tools. In our modern world, sometimes leads will prefer text messaging to phone calls and you may have a better response rate.
Try something like this:
Happy Friday, (name)! We haven’t talked in awhile but wanted to let you know there are a few houses in your target area that caught my eye. If you’d like some info, just let me know! (your name)

Book Recommendation
Posted by The Cobb Group on
This isn’t my typical type of recommendation, but I was really surprised by how much I liked this book and how moving it was.
Funny, sad and inspiring! What a great book. Trevor Noah’s memoir is fast-paced and engaging. Only Trevor Noah can make laugh out loud and tell you such a revealing story at the same time. I thought you might enjoy an inspirational book with a funny twist. We could all use a good laugh these days!
