This idea came up quite by accident so Lisa and I decided to run with it. I sent a last-minute email out to my list and got some awesome responses. Thanks everybody for participating. There are no longer any excuses to not have a bunch of listings and a full pipeline. Dream big and take names 😎
Lisa’s TOP ideas
1. Specific target prospecting - if you have no buyers - find some.
2. For sale by owner - marketplace and FSBO sites
3. Withdrawns. properties that were on the market
4. Sphere of influence - anyone you know that could have a property to sell
5. Doorknock around listings yours and other agents
6. Make sure you build a database from day one

10. I would offer a Seller's Workshop today on how to sell your home fast for the highest and best price and would go by offices with flyers inviting prospects to the workshop at a popular local restaurant with party room and offer dinner to all that attend.
