I have some in the past if asked.  I use to get a lot of business from other parents when my kids were younger doing school activities.  This is something I should try.

When I first started in Real Estate, one of my best clients came from my time volunteering at my daughters' elementary school...  We got chatting and BAM!  3 transactions for her and some referrals.  I used to stuff the teacher mailboxes with my calendar and newsletter and then my kids got older and moved on to middle school.

I don't.  Out here it isn't known as a very effective strategy for leads, just for getting your name on a banner on a main street.

Harry F. D'Elia I've never marketed to schools. They are always asking agents to run ads in their various published documents. Don't know anyone who has ever had any success with it.

There are so many agents and firms, and everyone seems to know an agent. I believe the return  on my time investment is better spent elsewhere.
