I rarely get a negative reaction. Sometimes people will say that they recognize me from my advertising. They are almost always interested in talking about the local market. I get listings this way because potential sellers realize that I am not afraid of people and I am willing to work. You can bet that they will remember me over the person who just sends junk mail. Most people who have a problem with this will put a "no soliciting" sign on their door. What’s wrong with knocking on someone’s door?

If I want a listing, I know I can just keep knocking on doors and in a day or two I will have a listing from it. Sometimes it just takes longer, but it always works.
