Get Out There and Meet The Neighbors

Take your newest listing and try the first steps of this approach.

Think of it as a way to “door knock” and remove the ice breaker conversation. You have a reason you are there… and you are providing value.

We recommend scheduling time for this valuable strategy to eliminate distractions and help you accomplish this successfully.

1. Print Out Copies of Your Buyer Guide

Bring copies of your Buyer Guide in case the neighbors or someone they know might be interested.

2. Gather the Listing Information

Just like the Buyer Guide, bring the listing information and photos for anyone interested.

3. Grab Your Business Cards

Make sure you have enough on hand.

4. Make Your Rounds

Schedule time to walk the block and introduce yourself to the neighbors.

5. Take Notes

Between houses, jot down names, family notes or any information you can use in following up.

Not Sure What to Say?
