Here are a few tips to use in this market to keep you visible and make the emails come or the phone ring.

 

1. Blog  Try active rain, google blog, your own website etc. your content can come from the local newspaper, from your mls stats or propety advertising or just your own experiences.  Make sure you use your own content.

2. Go to local events in your area. Sporting events, parades, bingo, school board meetings, church dinners, fire-mans events etc.   Don't be shy introduce yourself and get involved in a conversation.

3. Join your local organizations  network and make sure you hand out your business cards.

4.  Volunteer in your community.  Meals on Wheels, Senior Citizen programs, Humane Society, Garden Club, Library.  You can benefit with referrals and you can help people in need. 

5.  Review your old sales files the people who bought 7-10 years ago probably are thinking about selling and the best thing in most cases is that they have equity in their homes. 

6.  Get on the internet and get involved in social networking, Face Book, Linkin, Plaxo  theses are great ways to meet people and catch us with people that you haven't seen since high school. 

7.  Market your properties free on Craigslist, Face Book and several other sites.

 

Remember keep a smile, always be passionate and ready to help anyone in need.  Oh and don't forget to hand out your business cards.
