As I move around the country and visit lots of cities I am always surprised at the lack of inventiveness of agents who believe that by putting an ‘A’ board on the pavement outside their offices they will attract any landlords, let alone quality landlords.

What a landlord wants is an agent who adds value to his investment and looks after his properties as if they were his own.

So social media such as Linkedin or Facebook cannot be overlooked as they can put their entire profile of their services online and use the groups to raise their profile at no cost.

Also they could hold a free seminar for landlords and feed them some great information about themselves and the services that they offer.
