Door Knocking!

When I started in the real estate business many years ago; finding a customer or client was easy! I picked out a neighborhood that seemed likely to me that someone would need an eager real estate agent and I knock on the door and left my business card. If, I left enough cards with a little note on the back, eventually I would have some call backs about why I was at their home. I always tell the truth!!! I told the caller that I was looking for new clients who might be interested in buying or selling a home; and I was wondering if they knew anybody! This is known as “Door Knocking” which can work well for the agent and also for the customer who wants a hard working real estate agent.

I’m not sure if door knocking works today, because I have not done it on a regular basis for about 25-30 years. Also, most of the sellers’ these days are banks that usually are a little difficult to find. I’m not really sure where their front door is!
