2018 may seem like it is coming to an end after the traditional busy seasons have concluded and many are already starting to think towards 2019. This is certainly a good idea to have a strong Spring next year; however, there are still a lot of homes to be listed and sold before 2018 ends. Here are some ideas to spark business now and in the New Year:

• Sponsor a food or coat drive

• Hold a Halloween-themed block party

• Do a mailing with tips on preparing your home for the winter

• Hold a Client Appreciation Event (Octoberfest or football are great themes for the fall)

• Call all the potential move-up buyers in your database. Current market conditions are great for many move-up buyers!

• Schedule a day to clean up and add to your database. Reach out to those you have not contacted recently

• Deliver smoke alarm batteries to your SOI with a reminder to change them when they turn clocks back

• Start a business networking group with fall and winter service providers. Snow plow, gutter cleaning, etc.
