Marketing Advertising Program

Unless we rent our vacancies, they not only fail to produce an income, but represent an expense and liability.  So, we've developed a marketing program that produces results.  Here's what we do....

• Newspaper - We have lots of other means to advertise, but the newspaper is still read by much of the house-hunting population.  So, we use it, but sparingly.  Like any business, we operate on a budget.  If we spend it all on the newspaper, there's less to go around to other, more productive media.  But, by adding a single line to all of our newspaper ads, we've greatly increased results...."see this and other homes at www.mmirentals.com".  Most of our newspaper advertising is in the Washington Post.

• MRIS® - The Metropolitan Regional Information System is a Multiple List System serving in some 30 counties and 4 states.  This system takes sales and rental listings.  Listings are placed on the National Association of REALTORS website. Through MRIS, our listings are promoted on several other Internet homes sites.
   
• MMIRENTALS.COM - Our pride and joy!  We believe this site is one of the best in the area.. and getting better every day.  And the public thinks so too.  Already this year, we've had more than twice as many hits as in the previous year, and the number is growing rapidly.  And, they're not just hits, we get responses, lots of them.  Web responses are treated as call-ins and are given to duty agents for reply.  We invite you to browse our site.. see what it has to offer.. come back frequently!
     
• MMI Real Estate Investors Society (REIS) - REIS is a membership organization founded by MMI in 2006 for the purposes of educating investors and potential investors, forming a network of investors, Realtors and service providers and developing an vehicle for investors to pool money for the purchase of investment real estate. MMI associates are encouraged to attend the these meetings to meet the movers and shakers of the local rental real estate market. Find-out more at mmirentals.com/reis.
      
• RentalHomes.com - All of our rental listings are promoted on the Rental Homes national search site where calls are directed to the listing agent.  The company pays for this service.
      
• YELLOW PAGES - Our highly productive yellow pages ad draws the non-Internet client 
     
• Maryland Association of REALTORS Conference in Ocean City - In 2006, MMI became the first property management company to ever take a booth at this show. It was such a smash hit that we have already signed-up for 2008--see us at booth 96!
     
• GOOGLE - We advertise on Google and pay for each click to cause our name to come-up near the front of each search.
                             
• REFERRALS - Our highly successful Listings in the Bank Program draw agent to us as their "Partner for Better Client Service."  Agent refer clients for property management and we have now added an extra incentive: a trip for two to Mexico!
