Do You Attend Floor Times?

I'm a firm believer in working hard day in and day out. That's why I feel it's important to attend floor times whenever possible. Just recently, I've been able to find clients through both calls and even walk-ins during my floor times.

Imagine if I wasn't in the office at those times?

Even when things are slow, I try to read a bit for fun as well as keep up with current clients and paperwork. Also, let's not forget that time in the office can be fun! When a few of us around the office aren't occupied, it's a great time to bond and socialize with the other Realtors at your branch.

So do you attend your floor times? If so, what do you do when things are slow?

Lydia: It's one of the tried and true ways to make new contacts. If I were a new agent, I would take as many hours as I could. A more seasoned agent? Maybe not so much.

If I were blessed with an ability to enjoy floor duty I would spend my time there blogging, social medializing, chatting and working on paperwork.

We all fight over floor time, seasoned agents the most because we know how valuable it can be. I really enjoy it because when I 'm not meeting and greeting new clients, I'm on ActiveRain :0) It is also a great time to catch up on paperwork.

As much as some people eschew floor time for the internet, it still brings leads. I just showed a house to a buyer who came through floor time, and not only is that a buyer, but through talking during the showing, will also be a seller...

Realtor you can trust

Lydia,

I applaud you for recognizing floor time as a viable way to get business. I know that it gets boring sometimes but there is always something to do that can strenghthen you skills. AR is one of them. My pet peeve are people that sign up for floor time and find excuses to leave before it is over or just forget to come in.

Lydia - personally I do very little floor time but when I am in the office I am usually busy with paperwork of one kind or another so the time does fly.

I use floor time as opportunity time. There always something to read, something to research. I can always find something to do.

Thank you all for your comments!

Hella - When I started, I did as many floor time hours as I could, and I still am today.

Lindsey - The environment does help. Gotta love some of my fellow Realtors lol.

Susan - Sometimes it's that time out of the house that helps you get stuff done :)

William - That's awesome you found a buyer/seller client. Congrats!

Allen - Well, some of those people who leave early might miss out on a last minute lead! You snooze you lose haha.

Kathy - Yes, time does fly by during floor times when are you occupied.

Rob - That's a great way of thinking about it!
