Does having a coffee network twice a week work?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Hamm Homes

The last 2 months I am trying to have coffee twice  week with different people to not discuss real estate but discuss there interest and find out more about them.  This is turning in to a lets do dinner with the spouses.   Does not always have to be me cooking at my house but of course that would be my first choice but going to a restaurant of there choice works also.

Once again, talking a little about about real estate but more about vacations or world events.  People last week wanted extra football schedule to mail to there son in the Carolina, he may move back here someday.

You just never know where your next deal comes from!

Will,

You are singing my song now. I have been preaching face to face and it does not have to real estate 24/7. A

I think that is the best way to network, people know what you do and when you develop a solid friendship with them, they will call upon you for all of their real estate needs!

You have to do what works for you, what fits your personality and you will enjoy and keep doing even during the times when response is slow.

Morning Will.

Whatever works, I actually had an agent drink coffee at a local restaurant for a couple of weeks.  He was soon invited to join a group, the rest is history

Love your Farming Technique of having Coffee with at least two people each week.  I have been trying to do this concept for about two years now and am enjoying the reap what I sow efforts!  Thanks for sharing Will Hamm
