Great post! With my broker's help, I put on a first time home buyer class in Elk Grove not too long ago. I think if you position yourself in such a way that you are there to educate first time home buyers rather than try to sell them at your event, you will more than likely have leads that will want to do business with you. I hope your seminar went well, ours was a last minute thing but we had 5 new clients, which turned into 3 pre-qualified leads and one of those materialized into a pending escrow. I figure if we do this every month and amp up our prospecting to get more people there, we can easily get 2-3 deals a month just by holding first time home buyer seminars! Awesome post!

Thanks Chris! I think seminar are a great source. The tough part is getting people there. If you can do that, the numbers will work themselves out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Good Job Jonathan.

Thank you Bill for coming by! We had fun. It is funny watching yourself on tape, you learn your little quarks. More to work on in the future.

Excellent post and thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of putting together a marketing plan for some of my real estate agents that I work with - hadn't thought about this as a way to partner with Agents. As usual, AR delivers with awesome ideas, support and camaraderie. thank you

Jeff, Thanks for fighting through the first two. I hope to improve it next time. I noticed a few of my bad habits! The hardest part is getting the videos to work. I have noticed that they load in Firefox everytime.

Who knows!
