The useful part
A homeowner receives a postcard, recognizes the agent, and calls when it is time to sell. Homeowners may not need an agent the first, third, or even tenth time they see your name. Each mailing is helping establish your presence and reinforcing the message that you are active, available, and invested in their community.

- Market updates, recent sales, homeowner tips, seasonal information, and answers to common real estate questions all connect your name with something useful.
