Welcome Hosting for Durham realtors
Before they need one.
Reconnect with your sphere and meet new Durham residents at a ready-made local event they actually want to attend. We handle the details. You make the connections.
Your Drop. Your category. No competing realtor.
A better reason to reach out
You don’t need another event to plan.
You need a reason to connect.
Invite past clients, current clients, and warm prospects to enjoy a local business on you. We bring local residents, coordinate with the venue, and take care of promotion, invitations, and on-site logistics.
You welcome people and leave with real conversations and local contacts to nurture. New signups from your hosted Drop are clearly told they’ll be added to your contact list.
From realtors who’ve been there
We did 2 months worth of networking in 3 hours, which is super helpful for our team. Can’t wait for the next one!
This was a no-brainer for me. You guys have built something amazing.
I must say, it really does work the way you guys say it will. I even have inside jokes with people I’ve met now. And I’ve gotten a handful of referrals too.
One Welcome Host. One Drop.
Zuri Hunter · Vessel Coffee & Art Cafe

How it works
We do the organizing, so you can focus on the people in front of you.
Find your planWe send upcoming dates, locations, and time windows. Pick the ones that fit your schedule.
Use a ready-to-send email to invite past clients, current clients, and warm prospects to try a local business on you.
We coordinate with the business, invite residents, and pair you with a non-competing local host.
Greet people, reconnect, and start natural conversations. On-site support handles logistics. You’re the only realtor at your Drop.
After the Drop, we send the attendee list and a ready-made follow-up email to help you begin nurturing your new contacts.
Each appearance helps you become more familiar to residents and more connected to local businesses and professionals.
As people get to know you, follow-up gets warmer. Those relationships can become clients, repeat business, and referrals.
Your neighbors. Your next connections.
Typical attendees include families with young children, couples, and young professionals who want to support local businesses.

Let’s talk about your first DropThe details, before you drop in
Dates are typically the first weekend of each month, unless it’s a holiday weekend. Plan for a 3–4 hour window. We share the dates and locations well in advance so you can choose what fits.
Business cards and a friendly presence. We’ll show you a simple way to greet people and introduce yourself. We handle the planning, promotion, business coordination, invitations, and on-site flow.
Each Drop typically brings 50–100 residents.
Each Drop has one or two Welcome Hosts from non-competing industries—for example, a realtor and a financial planner. Both hosts are positioned to meet residents as they arrive.
We personally vet each business for its community reputation, the experience of working together, and enough space to create a great Drop.
Yes. You’re the only realtor at your Drop. Other realtors may host at other locations. We limit participation to 15 Durham realtors to give each agent clear visibility.
