THE BLOG

The Neighborhood Expert System Blog is built for real estate agents who want steady leads without chasing gimmicks. Each article breaks down practical, step-by-step strategies that any agent can follow—open houses, off-market outreach, social media, YouTube ads, direct mail, and email—woven into one simple weekly plan. Instead of scattered tips, you’ll find clear guidance on how to connect these pieces so they reinforce one another inside your farm.

This blog is written by Matt van Winkle, a top real estate agent in Austin and founder of the Neighborhood Expert System. Matt shares the same approach he uses in his own business: grounded, no-nonsense, and focused on what actually creates conversations and listings. Whether you’re new or experienced, you’ll learn how to build local authority, generate leads consistently, and run your business with confidence.
