They all work,

They don't work for everybody.

For those agents who have spent the time and energy to identify:

1. The conversation the citizen is having with themselves

2. The solution the agent has related to that conversation.

The challenge then becomes creating the opportunity to present it. 

IF the agent has no substance and has no engagement skill, their option is simply playing the numbers and spending money on massive marketing.

The prepared agent will ask, "Where can I meet people with real estate on their mind, engage in their conversation and present my solution?"

Open house seems a great option and costs little.

Adwords are great for getting the message based on behavior.

FB ads for presenting the message based on interests.

Pintrest for those exhibiting a passion.

Now, what do you have the most of, time or money?

For a more general view of this concept read my blog titled 'Getting Buyer Leads." Warning, it is little to do with getting buyer leads.
