What are some shifts in marketing and what type of deals/clients are you anticipating?? I'm a Realtor here in the Bay Area and am starting to prepare now.

What are some strategies you're going to start implementing to leverage and bear market?

@Kosta Makris be the first to be in front of your clients. Go to the county recorder, pull the preforclosures for that day have pre handwritten letters add some personal info in and then mail them out priority. You’ll be the first person for every lead of that type for them to see.

@Kosta Makris you might be waiting around for awhile....

Bad markets are better for agents.  Part timers exit the business and average commissions rise.

Now that's the optimism we're looking for! We plan on just engaging a lot more face time and showing our bodies via door knocking and community events to show our support and willingness

 Yes, this is very wise! we'd like to be able to help them before they even reach this point though

@Kosta Makris That's true but if you can be the first one these are easy free leads and their consistent, in my county, I get on average 5 leads a day from this alone

 I'll give it a shot. thank you!

@Kosta Makris If you are not door knocking I would highly suggest it.. stir conversation with home owners.. one great subject you can bring up is taking advantage of upgrading their home in a down market.. in most cases higher priced homes take more of a hit than lower priced homes.. Good luck
