Question ID: 725115
I am a Realtor in the process of developing a marketing plan targeted
at golf course home buyers and sellers in the central Florida area (65
mile radius of Orlando). I am trying to find out if there are any
other Realtors specializing in this type marketing and how they are
doing so, e.g. website specific, direct mail, media advertising, etc.
If you can find any Realtor websites that are specifically targeted
towards golf course home buyers and sellers that would be helpful. Any
additional information would also be appreciated.

Hello bigeasy66-ga,

My research shows that there is a tremendous amount of information
available about realtors specializing in golf course homes. I didn?t
find too much information about ready-made marketing plan examples or
templates for marketing plans for these specialized realtors.

I think your best approach will be to get familiar with the approach
taken by the many golf course home related resources I?ve found. These
will provide you with lots of examples of how other realtors market
their golf-specialized realtor services. I?ve collected a variety of
resources to help you with developing your realtor marketing plan.

I trust that the information I?ve found will help you put together a
very effective marketing plan.

Wishing you well for your projects.

The formula of building 18 holes to help sell higher-end homes is no
longer automatic for developers in a golf market that many consider
overbuilt and where open space and water availability are increasing
concerns.

Indeed, sales of recreational homes, which totaled 1.02 million in
2004 and 850,000 in 2003, reached record levels last year, said Walter
Molony, a spokesman for the National Association of Realtors, citing
preliminary results of a survey conducted last month by the
association. A report with the final numbers is expected to be
released next week, he said. "The demographics are very bright for the
second-home marketplace," said David Lereah, the group's chief
economist. He predicts that second-home sales will continue to edge up
this year, with rates on 30-year conventional mortgages expected to
remain below 7 percent. But he also says he believes that prices will
stabilize, particularly in those hot resort areas that have attracted
speculative buying.

The priciest coastal areas, according to EscapeHomes.com, continue to
be in California, South Florida, parts of the Northeast and Hawaii,
with interest in the Big Island, in particular, growing this year.

I suggest a visit to:

http://www.floridastore.uk.com - they have a detailed list of
developments in central Florida and usually name the realtors involved
with each development.

Best of luck!
