Lists can be powerful it you use it wisely. Lists imply organization, Lists impart control and Lists enable understanding. I’m going to discuss the six lists every realtor need to succeed in this business. If you’ve got these and work them right, you will close many deals.

8. When do I drop people from the lists?

you are at providing it.

those lists will grow and grow.
