Tip for those new, and not so new in the real estate business |
Since the average term of homeownership can be somewhere between 5 to 8 years, realize that everyday is a marketing day and the easiest people to reach (and those most inclined to listen to your message) are those you already know.
Go through your personal address book. Call, mail, or e-mail everyone in your personal address book to let them know that you are now in the real estate business and that you would love to hear their advice and of course, if they know anyone who is interested in buying or selling, that you would appreciate if they mention your name. Don't be shy about this. Don't feel like you can't "impose"on your friends. If your friends won't help you, who will? Ask if it is ok for your to give them an update on your progress after
your first year.
