Real Estate Agent Leads & Prospects

[Ray Suerto]

Hi everyone! 

Im new to Biggerpockets and also to the Real Estate world. I live in Los Angeles and I just got licensed a few months ago so I'm as new as you can get. Everyone knows this is a very competitive city so as a beginner, I'm very eager and willing to work hard to learn how to stand out and make it.

As for lead generation, I already started with all the people I know (sphere of influence) and wanted to know where else I can find leads and start prospecting as a new beginner.

Thanks for the help and support, and very excited to get the ball rolling.

First thing is move out of California. Haha Just kidding. When I was an agent I cold call a lot. You will get some mad people but you just need one or two to get started. That's how you will get listing. It will take multiple times calling and keeping in contact with people to get listing. Make sure you do not sound like a robot. Just be yourself. Do not lie like these other Realtors. Do not say oh I have a buyer in your area, would like to bring them buy, and you do not. Be real with people and keep in touch that is the biggest thing ever! Greatest advice I got was "RUN YOUR MOUTH" Go to meetups, talk to people in public, just make connections. Door knocking is out dated. If you have any other idea let me know and I can tell you if I did it or now.
