Part of my business you haven’t heard about:
My homeowner resource guidebook that lists companies and tradespeople from a large number of categories, from maintanance, to remodeling, to financing. The guidebook is upltimately going to become the launchpad for regular maintenance events where homeowners are invited to hear information on important homeowner topics and also meet same tradespeople in person.
Why I haven’t focused on it:
I haven't promoted it at PC because it's in progress. I'm getting the first guidebook together now, which will then be the foundation for the first event.
Are we already referring you?
I have gotten several referrals, but I am concious that real estate buying and selling requires a longer lead time. Plus, I have only been a member since November 2025.
Is it profitable?
The resource guidebook and future events are for marketing/lead generation mechanisms, so they won't be directly profitable. They aren't necessarily one of my File Drawers but part of my services that help people preserve and improve their home's value.
Season:
I hope to have the Guidebook as a continual offering, but will make slight revisions in the 90 period prior to the change of seasons. So the first version, which will be out in mid-May, will Summer/Fall related maintenance items, and then I'll update it in July for Fall and so on.
What I’m focusing on now (3 months ahead):
Summer and Fall related maintenance items.
What to look for:
Look for people whose home maintenance seems like it is falling behind because they can't always find reliable resources or are not sure how to finance the work.
What to say:
"I know a REALTOR who is connected to a lot of reputable tradespeople and she may be albe to help."
