I agree, but that's not enough. The top broker team in my office with 28 years experience has started to blog, use social media, etc. Even they are having trouble locating, within their sphere, sellers with enough equity to sell.
Yes if you are only a listing agent that would be difficult. I assume most people are doing both in this market.
Well i appreciate all the comments. I am doing lots of opportunity time, and spent the day today following up on prospects, and feeling much more confident that i will succeed. Im spending more time and effort on this, and less on my other job, and just hope my finances stay afloat as i trudge ahead!

I'm not a big fan of open houses but if you can find a good one in a high traffic area you might give it a shot. Years ago it was a great place to meet new buyers.
I'd do one in the $175-300k price range and hopefully attract some 1st time buyers who don't have a relationship with an agent.

According to the NAR surveys, open houses was the 3rd best way to pick up new buyer clients in 2010, with I believe 17%. They are not so effective at selling listings as the resulted in only .01% of sales.
