Best way to add value to Realtor

Interesting, saw a different thread about this, however mine is for completely different reasons. I own a pressure washing company and it is my main way to fund my future real estate endeavors.

How can I add value to realtors in my area to become their "go-to" pressure washing guy? I feel as if many competitors walk in there hand business cards out and simply say "call me" sort of thing. how can I stand out from this and win the hearts of realtors :)?

Yes, you probably won't get a lot of takers if you just ask to be the "go-to guy" because you're right, you're just asking them for something. There is a book called the "go-giver" by Bob Burg that is worth reading on this type of concept. 

As a brainstorming idea of something that will 100% get you on the good side of Realtors: Call them up and offer them a free power wash of THEIR personal home. Explain there is no catch, you're just a new business and want to show them how good a job you'll do for their customers, should they refer you. When you're done, leave some business cards and leave-behinds with your pricing so they have the information to refer you. Some people might be skeptical of a scam at the outset but if you're genuine and explain yourself, you'll get some terrific allies in the business.
