What also makes Kinga so unique of an Agent, is that she shares exactly how all of the marketing greatness is put together with her team members and other fellow agents. Even if they are not working at her office.1. Database MarketingA real estate agents Database is the single most important marketing tool you can have. Every top producing agent has some type of a database in place that they are building and nurturing. Over the long term it’s a Database that has the best chance of growing an agents business and allowing an agent to “take it to the next level”.The tools Kinga uses for managing her Database are: Her Smartphone (Galaxy) and Tablet & a web tool called MyRealEstateTools.com.2. DISC PROFILESDISC Profiles are a personal assessment tool used by salespeople to help improve communication with their prospects and clients. It identifies behavioral differences so that you can adjust/change your communication techniques when talking or even negotiating with other agents, prospects, and clients.Kinga is a big believer in communicating effectively with the people she’s doing business with and uses DISC Profiles to help her better communicate with them. This is a very effective strategy.To find out more about DISC Profiles you can go to www.DiscProfile.com.3.

Until that changes you can work with them to your benefit, or not work with them.If you get the right zip codes, completely fill out your profile with Reviews & Closed transactions, and work the leads effeciently, Zip Code Leads from Zillow and Trulia can work.5.
