- Follow all the agents you can find on social media - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn seem to be the most popular.
- Create (and fully fill out) a Google My Business and Yelp profile.
- Personally email your first few happy clients and agents and ask for a review on Google and Yelp (make sure to send them the link that goes directly to where they leave you a review).
- Add your phone number, email, website and logo to your email signature.
- Think about investing in Google Pay-Per-Click.
- Have an experienced developer make you a sharp, professional website.
- Make sure you have a sample report to show agents.
- Find local open houses to connect with agents (and don't go empty-handed!).
- See if you can get certified through the state or a local association for Realtor CE courses.
- Keep your agent presentations short, visual and value-driven.
- Don't just go to offices and drop off business cards.
- Think about bringing something different. Doughnuts are played out.
- Find and join local networking groups of professionals.
- Join every local realtor association and chamber of commerce.
- Put out a Facebook message on your personal account asking for friends to tag a real estate agent.
- Don't just like or share posts from agent accounts you follow - actually comment, engage, and add to the conversation.
- When at agent offices or out to coffee, ASK questions. Be curious about their business, their family, their aspirations.
- Find local causes and events that brokers tend to sponsor. Get involved.
