Door Knocking
Door knocking remains one of the most powerful ways for a Complete Agent to build relationships, generate new leads, and stay top of mind in a community. It offers face-to-face engagement, the chance to deliver real-time market information, and the opportunity to create genuine conversations. Whether you’re promoting a new listing, introducing yourself as a local expert, or helping a buyer find a home, door knocking builds trust through personal connection.
Just Listed / Just Sold Program
Description:
The Just Listed / Just Sold Door Knocking Program is one of the most effective strategies for identifying new listing opportunities.
Studies show that homeowners living near a recent listing or sale are 37% more likely to consider selling — especially within the first 7 days of the event.
This program targets homeowners’ natural curiosity:
• What did the home list for?
• What did it sell for?
• How does it affect the value of their home?
By leveraging recent market activity, you offer immediate value to homeowners and open the door for real conversations about their future plans.
Tangent will provide you with a fresh list each week, highlighting homes that have just listed or sold, including the specific target streets for your door knocking.
Key Steps for the Program:
1. Search MLS for Homes Sold in the last 7 days or homes listing in the last 7 days.
2. Target the street where the listing or sale occurred (and adjacent streets if time allows).
3. Door knock with a simple, value-driven conversation: share the news and offer a free home evaluation.
4. Capture interest: Offer to send a market update, or schedule a quick visit if they’re considering selling.
5. Follow-up: Add interested homeowners to your database for ongoing nurturing.
Goal:
Position yourself as the expert who knows what’s happening in the neighborhood — and the one homeowners will call when they’re ready to move.

Have something to offer (market update, home value guide, business card).

Accept "no" gracefully. It's about planting seeds.
-
Track your conversations for future follow-ups.

Nosy Neighbor Program
Purpose:
The Nosy Neighbor Program is designed to create meaningful connections with homeowners in target neighborhoods, collect valuable contact information, and provide ongoing market updates that build trust and long-term relationships. The goal is to stay top of mind for future listings, referrals, and real estate opportunities.
Step 1: Select Your Target Area
-
Choose a neighborhood strategically.
-
Prioritize areas where there has recently been a listing, sale, or pending sale to capitalize on the higher likelihood of neighbors being curious about the market.
Step 2: Prepare Your Materials
-
Bring a clipboard or notepad for easy information capture.
-
Have a simple handout or business card to leave behind.
-
Prepare a short script explaining the Nosy Neighbor Program.
Step 3: Door Knock Introduction
When the homeowner answers:
Script Example: "Hi! My name is [Your Name] with Century 21 Heritage Group. I'm running a neighborhood program called Nosy Neighbor. It’s super simple — it just keeps you up to date whenever a home in your immediate area gets listed or sold. Would you like me to set you up so you’re always in the know about what's happening around you? It's completely free and no obligation."
-
Smile, be casual, and genuine.
-
Focus on offering value first, not asking for a sale.
Step 4: Collect Information
If they agree:
-
Record their name, address, phone number, and email.
-
Confirm how they prefer to receive updates (email or text).
If they decline:
-
Thank them politely and move on.
-
Leave your card or handout in case they change their mind later.
Step 5: Set Up Their Property Search
-
Enter their information into your MLS Prospect Search or your Lead Generation CRM.
-
Set the search parameters tightly to include:
-
New listings
-
Price changes
-
Pending or sold properties
-
-
Ensure updates are sent automatically as soon as new activity happens in their area.
Step 6: Add to Your CRM for Ongoing Marketing
-
Create a contact profile with:
-
Full address
-
Notes about the conversation
-
"Nosy Neighbor" program tag or label
-
-
Add them to appropriate drip campaigns for:
-
Market Updates
-
Client Appreciation Events
-
Seasonal Pop-By Gifts
-
Step 7: Follow-Up and Nurture
-
Quarterly: Drop off a small "pop-by" gift (seasonal item, handwritten note, etc.) to stay connected.
-
Annually: Offer a free home valuation update.
-
Occasionally: Send community news or invite them to local events.
Pro Tip:
People are "nosy" by nature — they’re curious about what’s happening around them. When you consistently feed that curiosity with professionalism and value, you build a relationship that naturally leads to listings, referrals, and long-term clients.
