Whats you best way to find listing leads?

I'm struggling with finding more listings right now, too. It's a thin market down here right now and listings are scarce. I'm parked to read and learn.

Good morning Steve,

I walk the neighborhood I live in and go to expired homes as well which works for me.

Make yourself a great day.

Steve: You have to think 'out of the box'. Every competitor is calling expired listings. Going to the front door I believe will give a lasting impression, although much more time consuming. Good luck!

Steve~ Although we marketing to expired listings, our phone isn't ringing. Most of our recent listings have been referrals. In the past, our most successful marketing strategy for listing has been geographic farming.

Frankly I have more demands on my time then talking to FSBOs (who often think they know more than you and dont value our services) and expired (who often have a bad opinion of agents in general). I live in Wenatchee and help people buy and sell homes her every day. My listings are down right now too (coincidentally my sales leads are way, way up). Every time I get in that position I go back to what works well and what we forget when we are busy. One to One contact with friends and clients. It is such an obvious way and we all get away from it time to time. A referral is the best lead you can get. But to get referrals you have to be relational based not transaction based. I spend probably eight hours directly a week making contacts, writing note and dropping by clinets. Yesterday I placed a three minute call to a client that I had not talked to fro about a month and he told me he was glad I called. His dad wants to sell and buy something smaller and closer in... I think that is a home run based on a short call but also years of cultivation. It isnt accidental.
