In fact, I'm bookmarking it to send to my real estate ezine readers when I mail them tomorrow. I've harped about creating a niche for a long time, but you bring the message home with a creative example of how it can work to go beyond niches like "first time buyers" or "waterfront mansions." Far too many of the agents I meet in my role as a real estate copywriter have no direction whatsoever. They're afraid to go after a niche for fear of missing a customer in some other area. I can understand that if they live in a small community - because some niches would only have one listing or sale in a year's time - but for those in large communities, creating a niche is really the only sensible way to go. No one can be an expert on everything, but any ambitious, intelligent, and motivated agent can become the "go to" person in their own niche.

Niches are becoming more and more important every day. If you can successfully carve out your own niche, it is hard to displace you no matter what. Great advice.

Seems to be a problem as I can't get it from either place. Can you send me another link or a pdf? Thanks. Your site is excellent. I'm really enjoying the information and finding it useful. I work with real estate agents in the Beverly Hills area to help them increase their exposure (and their business) without increasing their advertising dollars.

It is hard for agents to be "everything to everyone." Finding a niche and working with like-minded people sure can make life a lot more fun. :-) I agree… It is hard for agents to be “everything to everyone.” Finding a niche and working with like-minded people sure can make life a lot more fun. :-)

I have been in advertising,design and branding for some time but now re-tooling things to connect with my passion of Real Estate, creative and community (niche - my own advice - oi). The blog is new-ish and culled down. My business site is in business planning mode. It's everything I can do to hold back and do the BP first before publishing. I am really excited about it. Thanks for tweeting that bit too BTW. Thanks NikNik.

I just really liked the picture! :) Stopped by your blog....looks like you're the new kid on the block but have some really insightful advice and strategies to offer. PS- Congrats on your marriage and finding a love that's fiery and fun...those are the best ones, if I do say so myself! I look forward to more of your smart and stylish comments and craziness! Woohoo! Paul,

Along the same lines of what I say but in a different way. Be authentic. Create a personal brand out of that authenticity so you know and understand what it is you have conversations about, the rest will fall into place. Even more, I loved your choice of image for this post. I had the exact same thinking when coming up with an analogy of what it feels like to be part of a Niche. It's like catching wave, it takes work and timing to get up to speed but once on it the momentum is freeing. Freedom from running around in a frantic state spending everything you have to service the next client. Well said Yup, I like. Along the same lines of what I say but in a different way. Be authentic.
