It's not really marketing but it may help:Every time I buy a property, I buy a humungous 36 inch pizza for my co-workers to celebrate/bless the investment.

I think a free report like @Belinda Lopez used "how to sell your house fast" would work.

@Jon Holdman @Ned Carey @Wayne Brooks @Belinda Lopez - thank you all very much for the input!

See Paris at celebrity events and a flock of chickens following her.

I would list and the race was on and the seller would win about 1 time out of 7, which was pretty good effort by the seller I thought and we would go to lunch and celebrate their victory after they closed.

Go to any seminar in a hotel conference room. 99% of the time the celeb rity flipper or investor doesn;t even come. 

Lopez :) Defidently keep your head up. if anything too just to maintain a positive relationship with the seller you can send a thank you or hand written letter or something dunno if that would help the seller feel and understand that they can believe in you and your business or not.

ORIs your wife wanting to celebrate the fact that she is close to getting her PH.D??

Hold on, don't celebrate too quick, your fee must be earned, put it this way:I buy your option, I go to the seller and he refuses to sell or can't sell with clear title under the terms you sold me.....yes, I have a claim against the seller/owner, guess who else I have a claim against for giving me a bogus option, one that was not honored or enforceable?

Being profitable and investing is more fun then celebrating a NFL victory.
