How many DEALS do you PASS on your way to Work? In Memphis, ETC..

How many Deals do you Pass on your way to Work?  From here in Memphis or Your home town?

From my home at the base of the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid, in the Pinch District, in Downtown Memphis to my office in East Memphis it is 10-15 miles depending on which route I take.

There are three different routes which take me through a total of 50+/- different neighborhoods in the City of Memphis.  In that short drive, the range of properties, prices, sizes, rents, etc are from one end of the spectrum to the other.

If it's deals your looking for, most likely, you drive by them everyday.  I'm going to start taking 30 minutes to 1 hour, two days a week at a minimum and spend some time in these neighborhoods.  If I see someone washing their car or mowing their yard, chances are they know of someone looking to buy or sell some real estate.  Stop, ask a few questions and hand out a card.

I would be interested in any success stories through this type of marketing or view point. 

Thanks,

Patrick
