Where to leave business cards if I'm a real estate agent?

For a real estate agent, the best spots are the places buyers, sellers, and renters naturally pass through. Focus on partners in the home-buying journey and on high-traffic local businesses, and always ask before leaving a stack.

• Open houses, where visitors are already in a buying mindset.
• Mortgage broker offices, home inspectors, and moving companies that share your clients.
• Local hardware stores, home-improvement shops, and interior or staging businesses.
• Property management offices and apartment complexes for renters who may soon buy.

Anywhere homeowners and renters gather is fair game, as long as you get the go-ahead from whoever runs the space.
