Are you on track to hit your income goals for 2017? Or could a few more deals be just what you need?
Thinking that most of us could use a few more closed transactions by year end, and also recognizing that most of us could use a few more tips on how to find more business, I did some research for real estate prospecting tools and came up with a couple of really good resources for you. Spend a few minutes on each of these and see if there isn’t something there that will help you find another deal or two!
- REALTOR®Mag has a great page with links to planning and strategy techniques. From the page: Prospecting is the lifeblood of any successful real estate career. It’s that simple. The more people you come in contact with, the more listing and sales you can achieve. All it takes is a plan and some persistence.

Below are a few template ideas penned by our librarians which you are free to download. We’ve also included some library resources for developing business letter templates.”
