Let's face it - real estate agents need listings and the more they have the more money they're likely to make through their real estate marketing efforts.

They can help new agents get off to good starts and recharge the careers of veteran agents who have been around for awhile. Also, with a good system, expired listings, fsbo's and whatever it might be, newly licensed real estate agents can gain significant marketing exposure in months, rather than years. Signs with your name on them dotted throughout your community will give you instant credibility and generate more listings.

Another nice thing about farming expired listings is that the sellers are typically Realtor friendly, eager to sell their properties and willing do what it takes to get them sold. So, if you don' have one, get one. And don't worry if you can't afford the most expensive one. Just get the one the seems best suited to you that you can afford now. You can always upgrade and add to it as time goes by. Good luck and happy listings!
