Real Estate Agent Branding Tip #1: Get a Great Logo

Every recognizable brand has a great logo something that makes a connection with clients and customers. Your logo should have something to do with your profession, such as a house or a key (or something more creative), and it should be something that your clients can connect directly with you. You don't have to spend a fortune on logo design, either. There are a number of websites where logo designers offer their services, such as fiverr.com, where you can spend less than $100 on a logo you'll love.

Your brand's voice is the way you express yourself to prospective clients.

It applies to everything you write, including the content on your website, as well as all the visual imagery associated with your brand.
