Start with Local Connections
First, focus on your local market. Attend open houses, local real estate events, and community gatherings. Introduce yourself to other agents, brokers, and real estate professionals. These local connections are the foundation of your network.
Leverage Social Media
Social media is a powerful tool for real estate agents. Use platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to connect with other professionals. Join real estate groups, participate in discussions, and share valuable content. This helps you stay visible and build relationships online.
