If you are just starting out in real estate or you feel the need to extend your sphere of influence a little bit, the best thing to do is to start with what and who you know. Everyone needs to know that you are in real estate . . . all the time . . . everywhere you go. (Yes, even at my hot yoga studio--read the blog-- when I look like death warmed over, everyone needs to know that I am in real estate. Hey . . .they look like death warmed over, too.)

So, below is an exhaustive list of places you may go and people you may know who may not know that you are in real estate. Contact 'em, strike up a deal, share referrals:

Accountants, Attorneys, Auto Mechanics, Auto Sales, Babysitter, Banks, Car Rental, Catering Service, Cell Phone, Children's Activities, Chiropractor, Computer Repair, Computer Sales, Construction, Copy Machines, Counselors, Day Care, Dentist, Doctor, Engineer, Family, Golf, Grocery Store, Hairdresser, Health Club, High School and College Friends, HOA Board, House Cleaner, House Painter, Insurance Agent, Internet Services, Jeweler, Landscapers, Limousine Service, Martial Arts, Motorcycle, Moving Company, Music Lessons, Neighbors, Newspapers, Office Supplies, Optometrist, PTA, Photography, Physical Therapy, Pizza, Police, Postal Service, Printers, Property Managers, Religious Leaders, Religious Members, Restaurant Owners, Retirement Homes, Roofers, School Administrators and Teachers, Scouts, Sports Teams, Towing Service, Veterinarian, Website Services, Wedding Planners.

Broker, Realtor®

 

Save time . . . outsource annoying administrative tasks.
All the commission checks you could ever want are just a click away.

C.Lloyd, this is a great reminder on how important referrals can be.  When you get a referral, you're 80% there already.  Unlike a lead from a website or cold call, a referral has built in credibility for you from the beginning.  You can save so much time when you work with a referral because you don't have to start from scratch.  Best wishes to you and your family for a safe and prosperous 2012 my friend.
