Door Knocking...Not That Scary

My team leader in my Real Estate business has basically built his business door knocking.  He invited me to come along Saturday so I did.

His philosophy is this, and I completely agree, Go out for an hour or less and knock on a few doors in the neighborhood.  That way it does not get to be a chore.  If you get some momentum then you end up staying out longer anyway.

We knocked on about 10 doors and got one listing.  It works.  

People were nice in general and here is why.  We went in with the attitude that we were just going to have a conversation.  We introduced ourselves as the Realtors who just recently sold a house in their neighborhood and we were letting them know who we were.  If the conversation did not go well we simply gave them a one page flier and our business card and moved on.  

The listing was someone who was thinking of moving and jumped at the chance.  We spoke with her and her family for at least 30 minutes and let the conversation meander.  She kept bringing it back to her house.  It was really easy.

I will be going door knocking in my farm area once this week in the evening and once on the weekend.  I will keep you posted.
