My Wife made her first sale, now what?

[Bernard DePascale]

My wife recently became a licensed Florida realtor within the last month and is making her first sale. The buyer was someone she knew personally so there wasn’t too much advertising needed for this client. I was wondering if there was any strategies to keep the ball rolling as far as getting her name out there to new clients? I imagine it’s difficult around the first couple sales since there isn’t much credibility to the business. This is mainly in ignorance on my part, and any suggestions will help.

Side note: Any gift ideas for a first time Real Estate sell? Lol she’s been working super hard.

@Bernard DePascale That's awesome, and can be a huge boost in her confidence...even if it is someone she knows. Sending out just sold postcards to the surrounding neighbors (there are hundreds of different companies that do this and it's fairly inexpensive). 

She can also go door to door and let the neighbors know that she just sold the home at XX address and if they would like to know what their home would sell for that she'd be happy to help! It's a great way to get listings. A lot of times they just want to know what the home sold for, where the owner moved to and what the new owner is like...but that's ok, it's exposure and that's what will get her business in the future.
