Creative real estate lead generation

[Philip Accardo]

I am looking to expand my real estate business and am looking for new lead generation strategies that are not traditional. Other real estate agents, what are some ways you are pulling in real estate leads? I am looking to work with five new buyers or sellers a month.

Here is a strategy.. and a very good one.

Go talk with every home builder in a 50 mile radius. Ask them if you can market their properties and bring in buyers. They won't have an issue with it. They might even pay you a bonus for it!

Take pictures of their inventory homes and organize them in folders by the community, builder, and address. Create an account at postlets.com and create an individual postlet for each property.

Post craigslist ads on the housing section daily , you will find specific areas, houses, and prices gets a lot of hits. You will get buyers. Depending on the price point, you will get listings as well.

Bring your new buyers to your builders.. show them you are working for them. Enjoy closing more deals than you can handle, and getting in good with the heavy hitters in your area. Many times builders pay an extra 1%-2% Bonus plus the normal 3% commission.

Good luck.............
