Hello all... I saw a post where a realtor puts "just listd" door hangers on homes that just went up for sale in any neighborhood and with any other agency (not his own) I cannot do that in Jersey, but was wodering if there was a similar way to do this type prospecting, becuse he clains to get 2 listings every time he goes out (and does alot of these of course). Does anyone walk your territories? Leave door hangers, etc, and suggestions? Thanks a bunch. I really apprecatiate all of your suggestions and help. Lisa

Mail them a "Just Listed" post card instead. You can get them printed in color on both sides, laminated, addressed, and mailed, INCLUDING FIRST CLASS POSTAGE, for 40 cents each from: www.ExpressCopy.com BTW, I don't think you can advertise another Realtor's just listing listings without their permission.

Here in Ca you can as long as you have a disclaimer stating that the listing was on the mls and that it may not be yours, not sure if that is the same everywhere else though.

That's what I thought Jim...You can't advertise without the other Realtors permission, at least in this state. Thanks to both of you for your help.

Here is the post I saw on another forum and thought it was a bit strange, as well...
Remember if you have 1,000 people in your MLS you have a 1,000 agents trying to sell your listing, if you work with a buyer it is just one on one. I have told you before, when your new the best way to get listings is to run a daily MLS hot sheet of all new listings in your MLS. CB has new listing door hangers use them hang them on every door 5 on each side of the new listing on both sids of the street(you do not care what office has the listing) you should get 2 to 4 listings per month with this system. Forget open houses knock on more doors let people know who you are

Statistically, knocking on a door is better than mailing. It's just a fact.
If they answer, give them the door piece AND give them something else. Use the usual door knocking script (if you don't have one, make one).

This Google Custom search may do a better job of searching the forums for some keywords than the old forum search does. The results do not include threads from the Asset Managers Forum however. To search that forum you will need to be actually in the Asset Managers Forum and you will need to use the old forum search below.
