Where are opinions on the best sources for real estate leads?

Most experienced agents get the bulk of their leads from "Word of mouth" or client referrals. The next best type of lead is from industry referrals, whether that is a title company, mortgage broker or lender. Face-to-face contact, such as open houses, is also a really good way to pick up business.

The are some alternative sources as well. As crass or macabre as it might sound, the obituaries is a good source of information. You can also check your newspaper classifieds and online classified sites such as Craigslist and eBay.
