Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

This is for all the NEWBIES who are wholesaling properties. Your BUYER'S LIST is vital to your success. You must have buyers if you are going to move your properties. It is tempting to line up properties first, but you will really do yourself a favor by having buyers ready to go.

If you are having trouble finding buyers you should call the advisory line for help. The trainers are a great source for resources in finding buyers.

Should you stage a home you are selling? What if you are renting a property, should you stage?

Several years ago I worked for a short time as Marketing Director for an 80 bed Assisted Living Facility. My job was to fill the vacancies that occurred all too frequently, as residents moved to escalated care facilities, etc.
I should note that in addition to my salary, I received a bonus each time I filled a vacancy.
As I interviewed each prospective new resident and their family, and showed them our facility, I discovered a very common theme--it happened almost every time. As we were approaching the point where I needed to probe their interest level, they would explain: "We really like this facility, but before we can take action we need to deal with mom/dad's home."

1. Company name & Image
Think of first a business name that will attract sellers and state what you do, for example: Speedy home buyers or We buy ugly homes etc

Think of a good slogan such as "We buy & sell homes fast!", "we'll buy that ugly home today!"

Also think of a good mission statement such as "we help home owners like you sell your house quick for a maximum price with creative solutions". study others

2. Business cards
Put your company name, slogan & mission statement on your cards
First put your slogan in large & bold print then Phone number in even larger print bolded as well next put Company name medium print & then your name & email in smaller print.

I put some signs out last week and they worked great. Go 6 buyers and people have still been calling. I only put out 6 of them too!
the one that worked best for me was

SFR 3BED 2BATH
MOLD EVEYWHERE
CASH ONLY
xxx-xxx-xxxx

That one worked great for me.
try using that and let us know how it goes.
if you have any questions please respond to this forum.

Legally, the buyer broker's commission is negotiable. This TIP shows you how to negotiate that often hidden commission and it should save you thousands of dollars.

Working with a buyer broker is NOT FREE. Buyer brokers get paid a LOT by sharing or "splitting" (sometimes secretly) the seller broker’s commission. You have a legal right to negotiate that commission and it is worth it.

In most parts of the country, the seller broker “splits” their commission in half and offers half of their commission to the buyer’s broker. Follows is an example of how you might negotiate that buyer broker portion of the commission and save thousands of dollars.

As we are now experiencing in some parts of the country limited inventory, we are going to need other avenues to find property for our buyers:

Searching for a home online is fraught with consumer dangers. This article will address a few of the problems and how to avoid them.

Perhaps the most important FIRST STEP in searching online for a home is finding the best online home listing services (home search engines) that are complete, impartial and do not direct you to an agent from the listing company (the seller’s broker). We recommend using a combination of search engines in order to get the most complete results.

Every day is independence day for home buyers and sellers. Every day more consumers are freeing themselves from the deceptive business practices that so often lead to uninformed and bad decisions when it comes to buying or selling a home.

In the spirit of independence, CAARE is releasing this list of the top 10 worst business practices and how to avoid them. It is CAARE’s mission to empower consumers to make intelligent and informed real estate decisions and free themselves from bad practices when buying or selling a home.

Free Yourself from the Top 10 Worst Business Practices

Hello every body good evening, my name is roddie. Can any one please tell me in detail when wholesaling with a fsbo, what are the mechanics or process steps from the moment you start talking with them all the way to the end of the closing. It's so much information out there that can be very confusing. It's like putting together a puzzle. It appears that you only can tie up a property with just a fsbo and probate matter. Then I hear people saying that double closing is illegal, and that a lot of information is out dated out there. I Been studying real estate for awhile now and I want to get going in wholesaling. I just want to have this brick wall out of my way so I can move forward in life.

"Landlords as a Source for Properties and Cash Buyers"
As a real estate investor, I’ve always liked finding the path of least resistance, the most direct route to payday. That means finding ways of finding properties, buyers, lending, etc., that include the fewest obstacles. In this post, I’d like to discuss calling on rental properties as a way to find available properties for purchase, and also potential cash buyers for your properties.
