Low cost marketing strategies/stats/scripts for new agents

[Jeffrey VanGilder]

I am building my business plan for being a new agent. While I know being a new agent is tough, so is being an experienced seasoned agent. From my brief research so far, I learned that knowledge is power in real estate just like any other industry. So I'm not letting the new agent stigma stick to me. Instead I actually feel like with a little more direction I could really succeed. First off I'm looking for low cost marketing strategies that I can customize to different incomes and age brackets Second I'm also looking for a website or source to start learning my area and all of its statistics. Stats like days on market, average sales prices inventory numbers, etc. Finally. Practice makes perfect. While I am in the process of becoming an agent I'd love to practice role playing scripts. Any recommendations on good scripts to get and from where? I do have some basics penciled in and nothing will ever be set in stone as markets shift with the wind sometimes. But any pointers would be helpful and very much appreciated Thanks.

Hi at @Jeffrey VanGilder sounds like you have a pretty good plan!  @Peter Mckernan is spot on,  FB really lets you fine tune exactly what demographic and geographic audiences that you want to target.  You can trial and error different settings to see what works best for you while always being in control of the dollar amount set to the penny.

I'd link up with @Rick Santasiere, he is your neighbor in Granby and has plenty of industry insight that he could share with you.

Best of luck and feel free to shoot me a message anytime with questions.
