About The Author: Greg Reed

“The satisfaction of helping a buyer/seller achieve a positive result. That’s what makes me tick. It energizes me every single day. In my 20+ year real estate career I’ve sold over 1000 properties and each and every sale has been a personal reward in itself. When I’m entrusted with the responsibility of selling someone’s home, I’m driven by the knowledge that my mission is to find the perfect seller/buyer match. I love the flexibility and variation of real estate; every home and every apartment is unique. My role is to help sellers find suitable buyers for their never ending myriad of designs in equally diverse locations. When I’m not working in real estate, I treasure my time with my family particularly the simple pleasures of a meal together or just catching up on everybody’s day. Above all it’s vitally important to me that I’m a great husband and role model for my children. People say I’m result orientated, tenacious and that I’m client focused. I’m perfectly comfortable with that. Selling your home is a big decision and it’s one that I take very seriously indeed I look forward to being able to help you in the upcoming sale of your home.”

IT’S TRUE! GREG SOLD 11 HOMES IN JUST 5 HOURS! Give Greg Reed a challenge and he delivers consistently amazing results. He is a man who knows real estate inside out and understands how to provide solutions for clients; clients who become passionate advocates of his services. A vigorous combination of commitment, energy, focus, negotiation skills and a stringent code of ethics is needed to sell 11 homes in 5 hours. And that’s what Greg achieved in the “Ultimate Auction at Sanctuary Cove” in 1992. A total of $30million of real estate was sold in one day to delighted buyers by ecstatic

sellers. It was a culmination of countless hours that ensured a successful day was had by all. The focus Greg harnessed to achieve this result continues into every property transaction he is involved with today. Sellers who have been involved with Greg attest to his energy, passion and enthusiasm. And above all his determination to deliver the best possible outcome for his clients is paramount. This relaxed, outgoing professional has been responsible for personal sales in excess of $400 million in his real estate career; an industry he is very passionate about. In a “prior” lifetime Greg has been a highly successful Fleet Sales Manager and Consultant within the tough, competitive motor industry (recognized amongst the Best 20 in Queensland for 2 years running) and a member of Mirvac’s elite Investor Services team producing over 50+ sales. Ask his clients why Greg is so successful and time after time they reply “He is a fantastic listener. He genuinely takes the time to listen to you and then relentlessly goes about his task to achieve the best possible results for you. He’s great.”

TESTIMONIALS

“ Migrating to a new country was a big decision for us. We were nervous about where we would be living. Greg seemed to understand our nervousness and made us feel welcomed. We found a great home on the Coast and have introduced many of our friends to Greg. Thanks!” Sak Weng Foong, Malaysia “I bought a Gallery Home at Sanctuary Cove when I first met Greg Reed. His professional approach impressed me and we developed a good business relationship. On his visits to Indonesia I would often catch up with Greg. His knowledge of the market was great and I’ve introduced a lot of my friends and colleagues to him.” Boyke Gozali, President Director, Ometraco “Thanks for the hassle free process we went through when we purchased our investment property. The whole transaction was very smooth.”

Steven & Jan Campbell, Townsville “I didn’t know the Brisbane market very well when I first enquired about buying an investment property. Greg was very patient with me showing me a number of properties before I bought. I’m sure I must have been very frustrating. However Greg’s knowledge of the market and his professional approach won me over. I bought a great townhouse and have since been enjoying the terrific capital growth. When I next purchase I’ll be calling Greg.” Carmel Paterson, Sydney

Introduction

These include, amongst others, business people seeking opportunities which therefore makes Facebook the ideal tool to include in any of your promotions. However there is one important thing to remember when looking at Facebook as a promotional tool for your product or services.

You’ll also brand yourself and company as a trusted professional with which people will be happy to do business with. So let’s get started

Greg ReedGreg ReedGreg ReedGreg Reed



Getting Started

Step One:

To register for an account just visit http://www.facebook.com

Complete your details and Sign Up! You’ll get a confirmation email from Facebook to continue.



Step Two:

Create Your Profile This is your window to the world. Here’s the page that people when searching for you, will land at. So it needs to be good. You need to complete all areas so as to communicate to people exactly who you are. Remember this is a social community. Make your profile gleam with personality – not all business! Your welcome message in particular should show your personality. Make sure you upload a good clear, recent photo of your self. People like to connect with those they can see. Connection requests without a photo don’t get responded to by me and they end up in the delete bin. Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Add some other photos about you, your life, family and work. People love to connect to a real person.

Step Three:

Join a Network Click on Settings on the top of your Facebook page. Then click on Networks and search for a network that interests you. It maybe determined by location, business, or interests. http://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?networks

Step Four:

Join Groups Go to your Home page and enter in the Search Box – Groups



This will give you a general list of all Groups available from which you can further define. Let’s say you are looking for Real estate Groups. Enter that into the search box and you can categorize that further into professional groups or investing or whatever from the sub category button.

Step Five:

Talk to Somebody Get involved with people. After you’ve joined a few groups, visit them regularly and comment on the discussions that are taking place on a daily basis.



Make sure your comments are of value by offering good advice. This is not the place to be spamming your business, it’s services or products. People will be attracted to you by the good advice and tips you give. It’s then and only then you should discuss your business. Be patient! Give before you want………………..and you shall receive by the bucket loads!



Creating Your Own Facebook Groups

This is one of the great tools where you can really control the content of the Group, who’s involved and what you want to promote. By creating your own Facebook Group you are the master! Invite people to join and allow good quality content to be posted but be wary of spammers. Delete all spam within your Group to ensure integrity. If you don’t, you’ll get a massive amount of people leaving your Group. And that’s not want you want. Why? Because your Group is your private database. It’s a collection of names that you as the owner and only you, can communicate directly with this list. This is extremely powerful and it’s one of the quickest ways to develop you as the expert in your field. But like the Group rules about spamming applying to Members, make sure you adhere to these rules as well. If you consistently send out direct emails about your current listings or upcoming auctions etc, people will unclick. Add some real value in your emails. Offer some freebies, talk about a new training skill you just acquired, discuss tips about building wealth via real estate, but not all about your business. Be personal. Don’t bombard your emails with links to affiliate programs or any other get rich quick scheme idea you may want to promote. This is not the place. Build your creditability and your Group will grow. And so will your new database. And it didn’t cost you a cent!



Now to create a New Group, simply got to your Profile and click on the Info tab Once at the Info page scroll towards the bottom to where you see Groups. Click on See All and this will take you to a page listing all the Groups you are a Member of. You have quite a few so as to connect with more people. At the Top of the page under My Groups you’ll see the ‘Create A New Group’ link Click on it and start building your New Group. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#/groups/create.php

________________________________________________________________



Who do you invite to your group? Obviously most people with whom you are currently connected. But if they don’t fit into your targeted audience for your Group, then go to the ‘Search’ box and enter keyword terms that would fit into your criteria. For example if your Group was about Real Estate Investing, place that term into the search box and view the results. If the term mainly returns Page or Group results, that’s ok. You’ll just have to dig a little deeper. In the above example click on a Page eg Real Estate Investing and look inside. When I did this search I found Fan Pages with 4726 members, another one with 1,907 and so on. Choose one and go inside to see if this fits with what your Group is about and join. You will also notice a list of that Group or Fan Page’s members. Click on See All and invite people who have the same interests as you to firstly become a Friend and possibly later a Group member. Eg Real Estate Investing Real Estate Investors love to buy and hold, fix and flip, wholesale, subject to, lease option, or any other type of real estate investing

The Facebook Plan

Facebook offers you the potential to expose yourself onto 355 million accounts and growing. Knowing how to do this will help but taking action is where the real success will be created. While most of your promotions on Facebook will be free, it is your time that will be your biggest outlay. Your connections on Facebook need to be communicated with on a consistent and regular basis. The best way to achieve this is to have a plan. Here’s what I’d suggest you do for an hour per day; 5 days minimum per week: Add Friends (15 mins) Search for friends or industry targets and add them as a friend. If you are in real estate, target people in real estate, real estate selling, real estate marketing, real estate auctions or real estate brokers. Define your target by location including country, state or city. Search for people in specific real estate companies eg Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, Ray White Comment (15 mins) Add comments to other discussions or blogs. Make sure they add value. Update Status (5 mins) Provide an interesting comment about what you are doing. Remember it’s not all about business. Quotes are good comments to make; especially motivational ones. Post Content (10mins) Add content from your blogs or website.



If you adopt this plan and use the tools I mentioned earlier in this book, you’ll have a thriving Facebook site that’ll produce a ton a fresh, targeted leads to your main website. I hope you enjoyed this book. Feel free to pass this onto your friends by sending them to: http://www.magneticrealestateleads.com and downloading their copy for FREE! Thank you for your support. To your successful real estate career
