For a small business entrepreneur on a tight budget, working with a business plan consultant may not be in the cards.

SellersTo reach current homeowners who are looking to sell, your firms name must be on their minds, on their computer screens, or wherever they will go first when starting to research real estate firms to work with. Consider networking with homeowners associations, sponsoring community events, and advertisement in places your homeowners frequent so that they remain always aware of your company until the moment they are ready to sell. BuyersReal estate firms typically advertise to buyers with specific listings, but may also advertise their brand in general to entice potential buyers to consider the firm down the road when they are in the market.
