I always say you never know where your next deal is going to come from.  Take every opportunity to hand out cards, referrals come from the most unlikely sources sometimes.

June,

You are so right!! I was so surprised and so glad to talk to my friend.

I am constantly surprised by the number of real estate agents who do not carry cards to pass out in classes. I always go prepared.

Rosario,

That is true!  It really made my day to hear from her, and I am so proud she has done well.  We all have to encourage each other.  Have a great day!

I totally agree with you. I try to pass my card out for any situation or opportunity which presents itself. I think it is one of the most effective ways of advertising.

Derrick,

I agree and I was so surprised she remembered me!

Mary, I think this is a networking opportunity many folks never take advantage of. You just never know who may be in the room who gets out of the business at a later date or has a relative or client who needs assistance in your area. Great point!

Colleen,

That is true, who would have thought after 12 years they remembered you.  Bottom line, pass that card out!  Thanks for the response.  Have a great day!

Mary - you are absolutely correct and this is something we don't often think of.  So many Agents think of other Agents as competition, when in reality we have a much more complimenting relationship

Derek,

Thanks for the response.  Alot of my friends are agents from other companies.  I'm glad you agree.

You never know... there are plenty of good tips here for using your business cards .... thanks.

Georgina,

Thanks for the response, pass those cards out, they will come back to you!!
