TAP 214. If you HAD to get a listing today.

from Top Agents Playbook

This idea came up quite by accident so Lisa and I decided to run with it. I sent a last-minute email out to my list and got some awesome responses. Thanks everybody for participating. There are no longer any excuses to not have a bunch of listings and a full pipeline. Dream big and take names 😎Lisa’s TOP ideas1. Specific target prospecting - if you have no buyers - find some.2. For sale by owner - marketplace and FSBO sites3. Withdrawns. properties that were on the market4. Sphere of influence - anyone you know that could have a property to sell5. Doorknock around listings yours and other agents6. Make sure you build a database from day oneRay’s top ideasI would go ‘crazy’ on expired listings then target For Sale By Owners on all the socials, marketing sites like Gumtree, Kijiji and CraigslistPrint off a bunch of IMPORTANT NOTICE Flyers you can find in jigglar.com (Just type IMPORTANT NOTICE) in the search field (See flyer graphic below)Print off 300 IMPORTANT NOTICE flyers in Jigglar and follow the correct formula to get them out.  Watch the 'how to' video hereFrom Linda GoerCall family and friendsFind someone in the office I could work withAsk for the office orphan dataGet out of the office and start talking to people - ensuring I am wearing my name badgeAsk colleagues if I could do their open homesCall Ray Wood and discuss his new secret weapon!From Dottie Moretz  Broker/Realtor. Beech Mountain,NC1.

The Gold Coast Qld AustraliaI would check realestate.com.au to see if there are any properties listed by multiple agents and contact or door knock the owners to try to list them and open the home to get some traction.  Also, a drive around my area for a signboard check although it’s not so common to have open listings these days, but you never know!!  …. It was easier when we had classified ads in the newspaper!!A post on Facebook to all my ‘friends’ advising that I am now in real estate and offer an incentive to anyone who can refer a property owner who might be interested in selling.  I would also offer an incentive to anyone who chooses to sell with me (ie a marketing program for example).  Of course, I would couple this with some sort of letterbox drop into my target area.From Troy Kincaid Colac VictoriaExpired listings.Social media boast with hot buyer cashed up.Drive by local streets checking who is renovating, painting, skip bin out etc.Call every legal rep in the area introducing myself.
