Doesn’t it seem like every realtor has the same website design, the same blog content, the same business cards . . . basically, the same everything?
Doesn’t it seem like all the real estate investors are spinning their wheels with the same marketing, same bandit signs, etc . . . ?
You get the point!
Do You Want to Stand Out from the Crowd?
BE DIFFERENT!
Make A Statement
BE BOLD
See how effective Denver Water is with their advertising? Would you forget a sign like the ones above? Not likely!
Start to think outside the box and stop trying to sell youself so much. Sell an idea . . . sell a reality . . . sell a lifestyle! Then and only then can you truly say you’re trying to differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack!

BiggerPockets.com was founded by Joshua Reed Dorkin in August 2004. An entrepreneur, web designer, real estate investor, and one-time realtor, Joshua was not satisfied by the online offerings of other real estate sites out there, and decided to build one himself. Mr. Dorkin's vision for BiggerPockets has helped to propel it into becoming one of the top real estate destinations online. His vision for the site and its future has brought national press attention to both Mr. Dorkin and to BiggerPockets.

I couldn’t agree with you more! I recently wrote a similar post titled Advertising & Marketing…Dare To Be Different!
Thanks for the comment. Nice blog, BTW – I added you to my reader.
Thanks you for putting in words what I’ve been thinking for months! It’s amazing that in a profession where we try so hard to be unique, there are so many that are basically clones of each other. I used to love going to realtor.com and clicking on Realtor websites to see how many had the same template. It’s very sad.
Shaun – It is my pleasure. I’m not one to hold back. Break from the pack mentality and you’ll surely stand out.
