Finding a niche in a busy market

Four years later, she has an office on Wynford Dr., 14 employees and bills close to half a million dollars a year.

"The key for me was doing my homework," Attar says. "I visited and called many real estate offices and agents to ask if they would be interested in my service and found a good response. My first client was HomeLife Vision Realty, but it wasn't long before we were swamped."

Attar produces four sided, full-colour feature sheets of properties for sale, which are then distributed to the listing agent to place in the home. "It's a niche market and we found that a lot of agents selling homes in the $500,000 and up range want the feature sheet to help promote the sale."

Others have picked up on making money with these "Listing Sheets"... and...I've had MANY requests to;
1) Take the Photos
2) Make up "special Brochures"
3) Put the Listings on a special WebSite
...etc

I chose to "keep it simple". I did NOT want to have to hire photographers and Graphics people and others to put together the special brochures that RE agents are WILLING TO PAY FOR.

I chose to "follow the line of least resistance" and....LET THEM DO WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING! Which is to...Make Up Their Own Promo Sheets with Photos THEY TOOK with their own digital cam.

All I do is....PROVIDE QUALITY PAPER....FREE....on which they can print out their own Promo Sheets...AND....I provide something on the BACK of my "Free Sheets" which cause "House Hunters" to KEEP THE SHEETS and MAKE THE LISTING AGENT LOOK "MORE PROFESSIONAL".

The operation in Toronto provides a Premier (expensive) Service BUT....they still don't have what "I Got" that makes the Listings on MY Sheets...MORE VALUABLE!....AND....even the Agents selling houses less than half a mill...will want to use MY Sheets.

So...it's nice to know that someone else has picked up on improving on "Listing Sheets" however...I will stay with my "simpler concept" and just provide MY Sheets to Agents...and let my sponsors on the back pay me for my efforts.
