Realtor holds a sign --->Day 2

By
Real Estate Agent

Wow i can't hardly wait ! It may sound weird but holding a sign on a street corner kinda gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Last night I found myself feeling like a kid waiting for the first day of school. You find yourself looking for spots to stand with your sign. Well I decided to go back to 281/Bitters on the Valero side that seemed like a comfortable spot. I hope to have as good of a response as yesterday. It is hard to tell if I have made any progress with getting leads or website traffic but this is just the 2nd day. Wish me luck and please read my entire blog if you don't know what I am talking about. Please subscribe.

Just think, you might get a ton of sympathy and even some money tossed your way!  That would at least buy a hot lunch!

We couldn't do that here...it is going arctic today.....20-30 below zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great and bold idea. I will be following to see how the results pan out. I may be looking for my own street corner.

Awesome and creative. I take a softer approach, my tem is standing in front of a bank office inside a popular grocery store - wtih a table, literature and giving away gift certificates to local businesses. We engage people in conversations, get their info and many end up customers or clients.

Hi Richard,
Well, you are a brave and innovative agent that is for sure.  I must say I'm happy I am not heading to a street corner today.  Our weather has turned COLD.

I'm very curious to see how this pans out for you.  Maybe it would be worth it to HIRE someone else to stand on the corner in my place!  IT IS TOO COLD OUT HERE FOR THAT!

Well it was an awsome morning. I was asked for my card three times and I saw a lot of lips reading my sign and one guy on cell phone talking to someone laughing and saying "agentbowman.com" into the reciever so it was cold cold cold outside even the newspaper hawker offered me gloves....we were on the same corner and celebrated some sort of kinship...lol

Richard,

I applaud your creativity but if my doctor stood on the street corner I would cancel my appointment.

In the future people may remember your name but forget how they came to know you.

I hope it works out for you.  You have a lot of energy.

Good thing I'm not a doctor...lol I Know what you mean. But Doctors have a good thing going. If nobody ever got sick or needed surgery. They would be standing on the corner next to me. College Station...cool my old romping grounds I went to A&M Consoladated High School back then we had no stadium and played all home games at Kyle field
