Do you Door Knock in your Real Estate neighborhood? What do you give out that is valuable to the home owner?

Real interesting post.  I read all the comments and it was interesting.  You should do it.  I'm going to do it.  I'm going in guns a blazing.

Thanks for popping by my MoviePass post; yes I think it could be lots of fun at first.

By the way, I door knocked three times this week!

I usually give out Just Sold data along with something useful or topical - a call to action for seniors when the County wanted to disallow incoming Prop. 90 seniors, for example; a notepad or holiday-themed goodie.

 I couldn't figure out why my business wasn't growing and I was on the way out of the business. A fellow Agent gave me the best advice I ever heard, "Real Estate is a CONTACT SPORT, go out and knock on some doors".  I prepared a 2 sided local market information sheet (people like to get things) and decided to knock on doors on the most active street in my neighbourhood. I admit I was quite afraid of the rejection I thought was waiting at the other side of the doors. Amazingly, People were glad to see me and I got 5 new listings as a result.

Thank you Paul Clark. I think your idea gave me the encouragement. I joined the team last year. The team leader is only doing door knocking since he started. He becomes the top agent in the area. He almost sold a house every day. So, my job is knocking doors every day. But I found some of the card I gave, they still ended up listing with somebody else. I consistently and repeatly knock the doors in one small area (8000 houses). Give business cards if I met people. Asked for the referrals.  

For the 4th run, I only gave flyers if I gave card before. I found the result is not as good as I should give card repeatly. Another girl in my team did the same - door knocking. Her result is fabulous too. I only knock 2 hours a day. Sometimes 3 hours a day. Give away business card. I knocked doors even in the snow time and raining day. I bought boot and raining shoes especially for knocking doors. My goal is only 1% of my area. That will be 80 houses. Can you imagine, they are all $600000 and up? If I can catch these fishes, to make half a million dollars a year will not be a problem. Please give advice.

Endre, I used to work for Coldwell Banker. But in Canada, it seems Re/Max is more popular. That is the reason they recruited me and I join Re/Max.  Internationally, I still believe Coldwell Banker is better. There are 40 Coldwell Banker offices in Shanghai, China. I guess that is a Taiwainese Broker opened the Franchise there.

Guess who is door knocking about my sold property on Saturday?  Me.  After I drop off the cats to be neutered.  Two scores for me.  Then I can take my birthday off....and read for pleasure instead of business. 

thank you very much for the informative and interesting post. I get so much out of the active rain network.

I've been 'going doornocking' forever:(

I want to, yet it sucks to go alone kind of...

F2F is the best, if you decide to go:) let me know, I'm in!

Old fashion door knocking does work! Looking into doing it soon again.
