Hello I am wondering if anyone has advice on how to link up with realtors to help my business out? I work on preparing homes for sale, and most of my customers need realtors and some of realtors customers need home repairs. Its a fair trade but dont know how to start it up. Help Me out... Thanx

Make up a batch of colorful flyers and hand deliver them to every real estate office in your area.

Something Like: Want your listing to sell faster and for more money??? http://www.floridasrealestateprep.com/

You don't have to visit them all in one week. Set a goal of doing 5 or so a week until you get them all.

I feel almost certain that will get you started down the right road.

We have several handyman type guys that just my office keeps busy on a full time basis.

Thanx James! what about advertising and doing presentations at GRI Classes and ABR classes and MLS meetings. Some say i should and some are saying I shouldn't. Are you responsive to these presentations?

Nope, too many other things going on at these kinds of meetings.

Stick to the flyers and as much one on one contact as you can swing.

That will very quickly get you more business than you can handle.

alright thanx for the input! what about flyering at these meetings?

Many real estate offices have tuesday sales meetings where they will give you a few minutes to introduce yourself and tell them your story and leave a card and brochure....call the broker or office manager.

Be forewarned that most established Realtors have their contractors that they have utilized for some time and will be resistant to change. Hang in there, and you will slowly get some business. Make yourself available anytime at the spur of the moment and do a bangup job and you will get more.


...and bring some donuts.

okay great! thanx a lot... I pride myself on being available upon request! So I think it will work out good. I get enough business just doin my own without realtors, but I am tryin to up my business! THANX AGAIN!
