When I first started in real estate I had a great broker who trained her agents well, she advised me to hand out my cards to everyone, when you buy groceries, give one to the cashier, at the cash wash, leave one on the table in restaurants, you will be surprised at how many people will talk real estate to you, plus you're getting your name out there. The expireds are a good place to start also, as someone else also mentioned. I signed up with all of the REO sites that I could find. I did a lot of BPOs in the beginning (when you are a new agent you learn a lot from doing them) , now just list a lot of foreclosures. Right now they are selling when every thing else is not so I am glad that I have had the patience to deal with them. - Thu May 1 2008, 18:52
