Does door Hanging pay off?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Hamm Homes

Yes this door hanger has a Baseball schedule in it but the truth is Door Hanging does pay off.  Last week I  walked 3 days of only 2 hours each day and this week had 3 phone calls from the farm area and they want CMA this week.  It still works, now yes, I do mail to these farm areas every quarter and do knock on some doors if people are home.  If they are not home, door hanger for sure.

Try it, you could pick up a listing or two!

Question, Will... were these areas you were already farming in other ways?

Not common in our area, direct mail is used far more often.

Great stuff Will.  Our weather is getting nicer and it is time to get out there and knock away!

It is the most effective old fashion farming method.

The only drawback is if you work in gated community subdivisions.

But as Will stayed you must include an item of value/interest for the community.

Will, great job! It's not easy to walk neighborhoods but, it does pay off. I like that you point out that you farm these areas well, your brand recognition is already there from that and then you follow through with more. Solid plan!

I know it works and kudos to you for doing it.  I have never been able to bring myself to do it, even though I know it works.

Accomplishes several things

  • Great exercise
  • Meet people face to face
  • Be seen
  • gives home owners useful free stuff
  • Your name ends up sitting on their refrigerator for 6 months

Good going Will

As a newer agent I have wondered that myself. So it's great to hear that it actually works. I am definately going to do some experimenting with it in my farming area.
