Thus, during your local Parade of Homes, take a day or two to hang out at a few of the houses.

Thus, setting up a referral trade agreement with a popular contractor can be a fantastic way to build your business. It is easy to build and generate leads at a Local Parade of Homes' events. Simply concentrate on the advertising opportunities, list a featured property, meet the attendees and take the opportunity to network with industry professionals whilst you have their attention.
