10 Ways To Get Your First Listing Client!…. Real Estate Marketing | Marketing Artfully

It’s common for newer real estate agents to be intimidated by finding their first sellers. Fortunately, there are many strategies to get started. First, build a database. Your goal should be to add 5 people to it daily. Shoot friends and family a quick email announcing your new career and ask their permission to send them occasional information. As you build your list, email your new leads weekly. Send a short message about a listing new to the market or a fun fact about the area. Use your website, social media, and videos to attract potential listings. And finally, hold an open house at your office on weekdays from 4-6 when people are on their way home from work. This is a no-pressure way to develop relationships and build your database of potential buyers and sellers.
