Networking & Prospecting in your local market!

Well hello everyone!  I am sure you are all happy that the weekend is here!  Hopefully lots of buyers will be out and buying this weekend.  Just thought I would share my Fridays networking and prospecting experience with you.   The second Friday of each month we have a Womens Council of Realtors lunch and learn.  Todays subject was tax stategies.  I learned quite a few new ways to pay less to the IRS.  I will share that with you at another time.  What I would like to share tonight is the amount of networking that happens at each of our meetings.  Three of the agents that I talked to today set appointments to show a couple of my listings.  WOW!  During our slowest time last year most of my showings were from agents that I met at networking sessions.  Whether it is Womens Council or the Chamber of Commerce or the Business Women of the County you are expanding the possibility of getting your listings shown or finding someone who needs to buy or sell or has someone they know who needs your services.  You need to network more!  You need to prospect more! I love prospecting, It is unbelievable how many buyers and sellers you find just by asking for business.  I also spoke to a insurance agent today as well as bankers, title people, and home inspectors.  Get out there and make some contacts!  Have some fun doing it!
