Don't Overlook the Tried-and-True Free Marketing that Works

The budget and marketing plan is quite important. Your long term success as an agent depends on them. However, the good old standby ways real estate agents have always built their business still work quite well.

1. Hand out those business cards. - It sounds old hat, but it's inexpensive and a proven business generator.

2. Community service brings business. - Become active in the community. Don't do the hard sell, but let others know what you do. If Habitat for Humanity is in your area, it's a great way to help someone while you help yourself.

3. Be outgoing and meet people. - My first sale in real estate many years ago came from a conversation at the breakfast bar in Denny's. And it came in my first 90 days in the business!
