New Real Estate Agent marketing

[Hessa Friedman]

I am a new real estate agent practicing for 8 months and having a very difficult time getting leads and making deals. I've reached out to my sphere of influence, done direct mailings and trying to do cold calls. My difficutly with cold calls for expireds and FSBOs is getting owner's phone numbers. I haven't made any deals so I don't really have the financial means to pay for expensive phone number lookup sites. right now I feel that not having access to phone numbers is holding me back in my performance. Any suggestions?

Hey Hessa,

I am also a real estate agent so I understand the difficulty of generating leads. There are some marketing strategies that are somewhat a low cost. One for example, is Facebook Marketing. They have specific targeting for people, which helps you connect with the right people. Zillow Premier is another way to generate leads. 

Your best lead generation you have, is your direct connections with people you have grown up with or have met with throughout life. Constantly be talking to people, reconnecting, and remind them that you are an agent...many people seem to forget that you are an agent so they will find their own. 

Hope this helped!
