ASK AARON - February 2002 Answer

From Jeff, NV

What is the first thing I should say to an agent when calling?

Dear Jeff:

You should ask the agent if their agency offers open calls. This is when agents meet new people. Some agents have open calls on a weekly basis, some on a monthly basis, and some never have them.

Attending open calls is a wonderful way to not only allow an agent to meet you in person, but hopefully, you will get a chance to learn more about the industry by listening to what the agent has to say. It is also very important to keep in mind, that not all agents know what they are talking about. I would take the advice from the open call, and then get additional opinions from other agents.
