Door Knocking!

Well, I went door knocking today! Knocking on doors is one of the most successful ways for a real estate agent to find new business. I should know… for the first 5 years or so, I was a door knocker 3-5 days a week for at least 2 hours a day.

Over the past 30 years, I have always said “if I ever need more business; I would know what to do!” 

To be a successful door knocker you must be very stubborn and have faith that it will work. Most agents will give up if they don’t get a listing or a buyer the first day or two. It is very important to pick an area near your office or near your home which you are very familiar with. It is also important to know the neighborhood and the home values. I like to hit a lot of homes and not allow a long winded talker to take up my time. (I can always come back or call later if it really is a good lead)  

The best part of door knocking is knowing that my fellow agents will give up before they get out of the office!
