It involves rum, a cigar, a dead chicken, a cauldron and that's probably more than you need to know. But it works for me! Truly, I don't really do that much prospecting. It kind of just all comes to me. But that takes time.

There are many forms that no /low $ cost including networking(face-to-face), open house events(an opportunity to meet neighbors as well as potential buyers / sellers. If you/one has more $ to spend direct mail(post cards) is/can be effective.  Try and find out what works best---there are more to choose on/off-line. Share your success stories if you like/want. Brainstorming can be good too.

This reminds when I first became an agent & heard the word "prospecting" for the first time. Whats an old guy with a pick plus a mule to do with Real Estate?

Dig deep, make it consistent and over time the pick axe and shovel glean good nugget listings, real estate sales. How do we all prospect, let me count the ways. Your SOLD signs, farming lists, how you do your job causes the phone to ring, the email server to glow red hot. Following answers.

It's really simple & fun - keep in touch with my sphere! Repeat and referral clients are my lifeline, 90-95% of my business. 

I do also farm neighborhoods and maintain a website & blog. This is the 'icing on the cake' 5-10% of my business.

Round about the couldron go: In the poisones entrails throw.

Toad,that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweated venom sleeping got, Boil thou first in the charmed pot. Double,double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blindworm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.

For charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double,double toil and trouble; Fire burn and couldron bubble. Scale of dragon,tooth of wolf, Witch's mummy, maw and gulf Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digg'd in the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew; Gall of goat; andslips of yew silver'd in the moon's eclipse; Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips; Finger of birth-strangled babe

Ditch-deliver'd by the drab,-Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger's chaudron, For ingrediants of our cauldron. Double,double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
