How long does it take to see results from door knocking in real estate?

It can take several months to see results from door knocking, as it builds neighborhood trust over time. For example, one rookie agent farmed an 800-door neighborhood with monthly updates and quarterly previews, closing their first deal in about nine months. Afterward, referrals surged and by year two, most listings came from that farm area. Consistency and respectful, value-focused engagement are key to turning door knocking into compounding ROI over time.
