I recently monitored  the CRS 201 LISTING STRATEGIES class in San Diego. This is really a terrific class to take in this market since many of us can always use new skills and strategies in order to land and sell listings. 

One of the fun group exercises was developing a list of marketing ideas, both for marketing listings but also ourselves. The list was so good I decided to share some of it.

You can read the full article on my ActiveRain blog at "Maybe THIS WIll Grab Your Attention: Marketing Ideas You Can Implement."
