Hi @Jacob Bindler, thank you. I haven't heard about these methods. I am going to send you a message.

@David Hunter , thank you for the reply.

No I haven't got any business from that, I have just started, but I have friends who are thinking  about buying houses and it made them more interested in working with me, that's what I think.

I know that I should keep doing that and people need to get used to me and my videos.

I have picked the neighborhood and I have sent some hand written post cards, haven't heard anything back so far, but for sure one post card is not enough.

All youtube videos are talking about cold calling, that is so scary, sometimes I say maybe this is not my thing, but if this is one of the main ways, I will go for that, I have tried calling few FSBO s and most of them had listed the property on mls through one of the flat fee agents. And I don't know how can I get Expired listing's phone number.

My fiance is helping me with the money I need for my marketing, he is a loan officer and we have had a post card for both of us, so I just need to know what ways should I use.

I am willing to do anything but preferably ways that are working best for me.

About reviews, I have good reviews on my website with Houston's Association of Realtors, and this is the first time I am hearing about Angie's List.

Do you do cold calling? and how do you get people's numbers? what is script that you are using? and what if they never answer your call?

@Joel Sherlock Thank you so much for the info. That's why I love bigger pockets.

I have started reading that book, I need to finish it soon.

I am not a cold calling person, personally if someone calls me more than 1 time I would add them to my block list. But when I google prospecting, everybody is talking about cold calling. 

I don't have any system in place, that's why I feel lost, recently I have started using pipedrive which looks good so far.

I like the idea of thinking about my clients and see where they go and what they do. I haven't had any success with open houses, I am working on that and I am going to use some of the tactics I have just learnt.

About my business, I am planning to attract sellers and buyers in my neighborhood, I like selling single family houses and the price range is $250 k - $400 k. My fiance is a loan officer and we have contractors in our team, so I can offer different services that sellers or buyers may need.

Is there anything else you want to know?

I do appreciate your help.

I am working on a daily plan, specificly for realtors and I want to build those habits.

Please share your best experience with prospecting and marketing.

Starting with myself, I have recorded som educational videos, and I share any new course or book that I finish and I see people are talking about that.

All my business have been through referrals, but it's not enough.

I will appreciate your help and recommendations.

Hi everybody,

As some of you guys may know, Persian new year starts at the beginning of the Spring. This weekend most of us were very busy with the ceremony and celebrating our new year.

It made me to think about all other special events and ceremonies, do you think these occasions can or will affect Real Estate transactions?

Do you think that it is better to postpone our marketing, events, open houses and networking whenever there is something on the calendar?

I'd like to know about your thoughts.

Hi @Account Closed, welcome to BP. Here you can find a lot of information and advice from other investors.

It great that you are ready and lot's of luck.

Being a Realtor, you have access to mls and you can find properties, but I think the first step is knowing about your goals, the plan, your criteria and then as soon as something shows up, you are read to grab it.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Hi @Lauren Brown, something I really like is that people in bigger pockets are smart and they know what they are doing.

I have seen some places that they say you don't need an agent, but it is so exciting that people have been working with realtors and are happy with them and also recommend them.

I am a realtor as well and my main focus is Katy and Spring, after that I check other areas on the North, Northwest and west, where I live.

@Todd Graff , welcome to the Bigger Pockets family. I am an agent as well but my main focus is single family, I may need your help with Commercials.

 That's a complete and perfect answer to your concerns. 

The only thing I'd like to add is you should see what are other services that are included in what you are paying and also what are the necessary services that you have the pay for them.

@Shawn Mcenteer @Percy N. Thank you, I will add these to my list.
