4 Marketing Strategies in the Age of 'Do Not Call' 
Learn how you can still reach out to prospects without breaking the law

"All the law did was give salespeople a push into the 21st century," says Allan, author of If You're Not Having Fun Selling Real Estate, You're Not Doing It Right (Bluegreen Books, 2010).

Here are Allan's rules for reaching out to prospects without being a nuisance.

First-Time Buyers: What Research Tells Us
young couple Know your target audience.
Use this research to guide you in your interactions with first-time buyers.

In 2009, first-time buyers comprised an unprecedented 47 percent of the market, most likely due to the federal tax credit and historic affordability, according to the National Association of RealtorsŪ' 2009 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. And housing economists predict that 2010 will be an even bigger year for first-timers. 

Who are these people, and what do they want?

- Most are married. Forty-nine percent are a married couple. Single females comprise a quarter of first-time buyers, and single males account for just 12 percent

- They're young. More than half-53 percent-are between the ages of 24 and 34. And 12 percent are younger than 24
