Advertising listings can cost a realtor $1,000s of dollars a month: newsletter production and direct mail costs $290; online ad $300; newspaper ad $500; print ads $3,000 to 4,000 per ad; virtual home tour $80 to $400 per home.

To all my Friends, I must send my thanks to all those who sent me the email about rat crap being found in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I now scrub the hell out of the top top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl named Penny Brown, who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. Even though I no longer have any money, it will (6 comments)

Open Houses are a very cost effective and efficient method of generating business. Once you learn to put on powerful Open Houses you will find them to be an incredible way to find new clients. For many agents they are much easier than cold calling, knocking on doors, working expireds and FSBOs. Plus they are more cost effective as compared to many forms of marketing.
You can create a situation where people are literally walking in the door who want to buy and sell Real Estate. Good Open Houses can generate over 100 prospects (2 comments)
