When most real estate agents think about getting more seller appointments, they chase cold leads or sink money into paid ads.

But what if the highest ROI strategy has been sitting in your phone contacts all along?

Most agents overlook the easiest source of deals: the people they already know. Your sphere of influence already trusts you, already wants to see you win, and often just needs a reminder that you're the person to call when real estate comes up.

Unlike cold leads, there’s no need to prove yourself or compete against other agents.

When you show up consistently and offer real value, your network becomes a steady, reliable source of seller appointments and off-market opportunities.

In today’s episode, I break down how to turn your sphere of influence into a consistent source of seller appointments and off-mrket deals, without being pushy, salesy, or spammy.

I’ll share a low-cost, high-trust way to find more motivated sellers and how to work your network like a pro.
