You guys won't believe it. There I was holding my sign it was freezing this morning.I bought the Newspaper Hawker some breakfast tacos and he wished me luck. I held up my sign and someone started waving their hand outside the car window. As I approached I heard the voice say "I have a house for sell" they were holding what looked like a business card. At first I thought ok a Realtor with a house to sell then she looks at me and says" I mean I have a house I would like you to sell for me..I like your style" she handed me a piece of paper with a name and number. Very nice I was elated I felt like Martin sheen in Apocalypse Now "I wanted a mission and for my sins they gave me one" so anyway I called the number when I returned to the office and looks like we will have a signed listing agreement soon !
That is some great marketing. I really like your sign. Glad it worked for you. Goes to show you, grass roots marketing works if you are willing to do it.
Richard I have been following your progress with this project.. and all I can say is BRAVO!! you went and got proactive and it looks like it will pay off. Good job!
Richard,
I like your style. This took courage and creativity. Excellent execution. :)

Hey if it works for you then by all means who should argue about the method. Let us know when you have the signed listing so we can celebrate with you.
Something really great is coming this afternoon I don't want to blog about it just yet but it will be fantastic....so stay tuned and subscribe to the blog
Whatever turns you on! Good Luck with the idea.

Hi Richard... I really like your sign idea. Several months back I wrote a blog about the "Pizza Sign dancer.. It works for them...I'm glad it's working for you. Cheers, David
Now all you need is a spinning one that you can dance with and entertain traffic. Great Marketing!
Well I suppose you have to be willing to just put yourself out there. Lots of luck.
Richard, I enjoy reading your adventures and look forward to more of your diary of how this is going. I love that you are willing to step out and be remarkable. If this works great! If not, I have no doubt you'll find another way to success. Action is a great step! Glenn
Richard - I wonder how many people (including myself) are thinking - should I try this? I love it!
Richard,
Way to go! There are a lot of ways to market yourself and you have got it right!
Great news Richard. I think you've been at this for 3 or 4 days and have your first listing. Many more will come. Keep on going!
Here's to your best year ever, may everything your touch turn SOLD,
