The Write Move: How One Book Can Earn You More Listings, Referrals, and Revenue

We all have a common goal as real estate listing agents: more listings, better referrals, and steady revenue. 

We want consistent revenue regardless of market shifts and interest rate considerations. 

We want to stand out at our listing appointments and differentiate ourselves. 

We know the value of attaining and developing long-term relationships with clients who list their properties. They can become ongoing referral resources.

Depending on their stage of life, they may buy and sell real estate several more times. They may become real estate investors, deciding to buy or sell investment properties at steady intervals. 

The market shifts. Interest rates rise and fall. Algorithms change. Even our best clients move on. But you know what doesn't change for you?

Your story. Your specialized knowledge. Your reputation.

If you're not leveraging those assets as a well-written, client-centered book, you're missing the most powerful marketing tool available to top-producing agents.

The Write Move, writing a book, will help you land more listings. A book is more than a book. It is a listing magnet. 

Picture this:

You are excited about an upcoming listing appointment in your neighborhood, where you have had successful transactions with buyers and sellers. You have researched, run the comps, and developed a listing strategy based on current market dynamics.

Even though you know what to do and the likely course of conversation and questions, you practice, practice, practice. You show up. You look polished. And so do the other two listing agents in their respective time slots.  

You don't know who your competition is, yet you are confident you will be neck and neck. 

Before you leave, you thank your potential clients. And you hand them your beautifully written book —- your story, expertise, process—and say, "look through this. I wrote it to help sellers like you understand what matters most when choosing a real estate partner. I include stories and anecdotes that you may relate to and help you with the sale of your home."

You didn't just leave a business card.

You left credibility - authority - professionalism.

You just made The Write Move.

The seller sees your book not as a gimmick—but as proof. You're not just in the game. People look to you for new ideas. A trusted guide. A known entity. And in today's competitive market, that's what wins listings.

If you win the listing after the sale, when you present your sellers with their closing gift, give them several copies of your book. This is an excellent way to ask for referrals by leaving something of value for their sphere. 

Referrals come to those who stand out. 

Referrals happen when people remember you—and talk about you.

Imagine your past clients sharing your book with their neighbors:

"Oh, you're selling your house? You've got to read this—it's by the agent who helped us last spring."

Your book becomes your voice in rooms you're not in.

Your message spreads without a Facebook ad budget.

Your network becomes your amplifier.

Agents who write books don't just sell homes—they create legacy marketing. And that kind of visibility leads to consistent, qualified referrals.

More revenue, fewer cold leads.

Let's face it—time is money. And not all leads are worth your time.

The goal isn't just more leads. It's better leads.  lOnes who already trust you. Ones who feel like they know you.Ones who call you because they read your book.

Your book will do the heavy lifting in closing higher-priced listings because you have positioned yourself differently. It will also do the heavy lifting to win more listings in the neighborhoods you serve. Your expertise in and love for your neighborhoods are your clear and concise marketing statement—it is your book. 

The power of storytelling. 

We have all been to seminars and conferences, whether in real estate or in another area of interest. We walk away with templates, copies of the presentation, and a wider network. 

Weeks or months after the event, what we remember most are the stories that resonate with us, that we relate to, or that inspire us. 

Tell your stories and write them down in a book. You will be top of mind for referrals and potential clients, gain more listings, and increase your ROI. 

The good news? You don’t have to write your book alone.

You have the expertise. The experience. The stories.

I bring the structure, the storytelling, the system, and the human touch.

The Write Move's design specifically targets agents like you—busy, accomplished, ready to grow, and smart enough to know when to partner with a professional.

I'll help you craft a book that reflects your brand, serves your clients, and positions you as the go-to expert in your market.
