You know you have to tell people youre a Realtor in order to get clients, but it doesnt always mean getting a face-to-face. One of the most inexpensive lead-generators is the good, old-fashioned business card. For pennies at a time, you can leave an advertisement behind wherever you go even in places that seem a little strange.

5 Places for Realtors to Leave Business Cards

1. Doctors and dentists offices. When youre a regular patient, asking your doctor or dentist to host a small stack of your business cards on the reception desk, the magazine table or the window ledge is a great way to reach potential clients.

2. Child care centers. Most child care centers have a bulletin board where you can tack a few business cards or, even better, a full-color printout of your latest listing with your branding all over it.

3. Churches (with permission, of course). Many welcome tables in churches feature local events, so its often a good idea to create a flyer about a charity event that youre sponsoring, an open house youre holding or any other community to-do that youre involved in; add a stack of business cards so people know how to get more information.

4. Auto repair shops and oil change shops. Be selective and go where your clients are; pick the Aston Martin dealerships shop or the Jiffy Lube in your most lucrative town. The salvage yard? Maybe not the best place to leave your cards, but any exposure is good exposure.

5. Restaurants. Leave a business card or two with the tip every time you dine out unless the service was horrible and youre leaving a tip that reflects your displeasure. In many cases, servers will gladly pass around business cards to other servers who might need your help.

Bonus tip: Anywhere you find a bulletin board, theres room for you to advertise. Many grocery stores have them near the front door, as do libraries, bookstores and kids activity centers. All you need is to find an extra thumb tack and an empty spot.
