5 Basic Listing Supplies Every New Agent Needs

Jan 16, 2026

Have you ever been so focused on getting ready to go somewhere that you forgot something fundamental – like your keys, or your wallet? We’ve all been there. It’s easy to get caught up in the details and forget the most important items. That’s why we’re going back to the basics with the top five supplies every new agent needs to get started!

Yard Signs

Let passersby know what a house’s status is with a yard sign! The right sign can let the person who admires that house as they walk past know that it’s up for sale. It can invite those in the area to an open house. Or a sign can let others know that the house has been sold, and you’re an agent who gets deals done! No matter what message you want to send, you’ll certainly need a yard sign to do it.

Lockboxes

The last thing you want during a showing is for the seller to hover over the buyer, making them feel like they can’t fully browse the property. That’s where a lockbox comes in – so you can access the house safely and securely, without the seller present. Lockboxes provide the freedom to come and go from the house as needed, without compromising safety.

Flyers

As a real estate agent, you’ll need an abundance of flyers for all sorts of occasions. Flyers to showcase a house, open house promotions, advertisements for your business, and so much more. With the help of AI and websites like Canva, you can create professional-looking flyers quickly. Invest in a home or office printer and ensure you have your flyers with you at all times in the event of unexpected opportunities.

Business Cards

Whether or not you carry business cards with you makes a huge difference in how others perceive your professionalism. Business cards are a must-have for any business – but especially for real estate professionals, as you truly never know when you’ll run into someone you can help. Imagine you meet someone who is the perfect client for a house you have on the market, but you don’t have a professional business card to hand them. Overlooking that small detail could cost you the sale. However, if you always have a small stack of business cards with you, you can leave them where appropriate and let your business speak for itself!

Branded Apparel

Ensure others are aware of your new REALTOR® status with branded apparel! It’s truly the easiest way to advertise your business – you simply go about your day while sporting attire that lets people know you can help them find their dream home. Branded apparel also serves as an easy conversation starter and an invitation for people to approach you about their real estate needs.
