I used to work them almost excl;usivley untoil the market became saturated wiht agents! Best tip... show up at the door with a marketing package or pre-list kit!  Everyone else will be too busy calling the sellers and mailing them!  Listings are gained from meeting persons!

Jim,

THANKS! That is a Big Help. I will remember that, I did learn last week that you have to Get out of the office to make Money. :) I am going to put that one to the Test! :)

I aggree.  Showing up at the door is the best way to approach these.  Don't take it personally if the door slams.  Doesn't happen often.......but it can happen.

I'm with you. I plan to take the next 6 months to learn some strategies that work with my personality.

I send out expired letters once a week and follow-up with a call. I have had calls and new listings off of expired listings. Good advice.

I always go to the door first. Reason is I want to know first hand if it is a Listing that I want.

Herb,

That is so true! You never know if you are really going to want the Listing until you see the home first hand. Thanks!

Monica

Stacy & Jackie,

That is some good advice and I guess if you do get the door slammed in your Face, then you move on. :)

Loreena,

I am always learning, I am also Very Interested in Learning more and More, Knowledge is Power! :)

Monica

Brad,

Another good Idea, Thanks a Bunch!!

Monica

Monica, I send out an expired letter so that when I show up at the door it is a warm meeting.  Less door slams and they will have name recognition.  That's what worked for me.  I called them before the Do Not Call list...after that it made me knock on doors.  It's more effective anyhow.

Monica - I send a hand written note to expired listings in my market area and have gotten listings form those notes.  I usually know the home, say something positive about the property and explain briefly about my services - simple and personal.

I have never contacted an expired lising, but wanted to say good luck and I am glad your broker excited you :)  Go get, 'em!

I have a pre listing package which I drop off personally. My main approach is information sharing. Comp Sold in the area etc... I am usually there, no more than 5 minutes. Good Luck.

80% of winning is just showing up.  After a few days off, I will be on some front doors - a lot of 'em!!!!

Thanks everyone for your great input.

Stephanie, Another Good idea, Thanks for sharing!

Ines, Another Great suggestion, Nice to "See" you again :)

Dawn, ;) Thanks, and I plan to go get em...hehe

Frank, Great Approach! Thanks for sharing!

Todd, Showing up at the door is the main idea I am getting here, I think I will definitely be doing that!
