Network in Your Community

networkinyourcommunity

Networking in your community is one of the most effective long-term marketing strategies for real estate agents. People prefer working with someone they know, trust, and often see around town. Here's how to make it work:

1. Attend Local Events

  • Go to city council meetings, school fundraisers, and community fairs.
  • Don't sell—just show up, be approachable, and build relationships.
2. Join Local Organizations
  • Become an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, or neighborhood associations.
  • These groups connect you with business owners and potential clients.
3. Support Local Businesses
  • Partner with coffee shops, gyms, or boutiques to host events or offer cross-promotions.
  • Leave your business cards at places where you're a regular—but always ask first.
4. Volunteer
  • Serve on nonprofit boards or help with charity drives.
  • It shows you're invested in your community and builds goodwill—without a sales pitch.
5. Host Free Community Events
  • Organize events like shredding days, park clean-ups, or home-buying seminars.
  • These help establish you as a resource, not just a salesperson.
6. Be Present on Local Forums
  • Participate in neighborhood Facebook groups, Nextdoor, or Reddit threads.
  • Offer helpful info about the area without constantly promoting your services.
7. Sponsor Local Sports Teams or Events
  • Putting your name on a little league jersey or local race banner keeps you visible and shows support.

Tip: Focus on creating value and genuine relationships. People remember helpful, engaged professionals—not just business cards.
