Marketing to Buyers and Sellers

Hello DG Family. I would like to know from anyone in here who can tell me if there is a quick way to getting a finders fee for say a local investor in my town of Fairfield, Ca. from doing a deal online or getting two people together and closing a deal for them and at the same time, getting a finders fee before Christmas? I'm new still and haven't made my first deal as yet but plan to. I sent for another one of Deans books but because of this major holiday of Christmas coming up, it is taking longer to recieve it in the mail.
I am afraid I can't afford to give this Christmas because I have found myself in a financial bind so am wondering, can that be possible what I'm asking? I appreciate your answer/s anyone and thank you for your comment/s in advance.

Real estate agents are brokers or middlemen who give aid in the buying and selling of real estates. They look for buyers who want to buy a property or properties or seller who want to sell a property or properties. There are numerous companies that have been established for this purpose. Their services can be rendered by both buyers and sellers. They make buying and selling of properties seem easy. When you think of real estate agents immediately extra expenses pops up in your mind, but this is absolutely not true. These agents or brokers will help you save more by charging appropriate fees.

Hello DG family,

I have just started marketing to cash buyers. I pull solds from FMLS, get the address and deliver and or send the letter. I only started this yesterday. I have pulled 10 more sold's today and I thought I would ask for feedback from "experienced REI that have marketed to cash buyer with letters". Yes this is Matt Larsons idea on The Edge 2010.

With all due respect (As Dean says)I am looking for advise from those who are qualified to give it. Those who have actually done this and have the experience.

Any thoughts and comments are ok but I am looking for advise from qualified experienced REI that market through letters to cash buyers.

Here is my letter!

Hello property owner of

Hello everyone, I'm very new to the REI world and very excited!! I bought Dean's books and signed up with the success academy team a little over a month ago and have learned so much about real estate, and I'm very grateful for that. So I started off hitting the ground running, and got my buyers list started and spoke to each one of my buyers so I know what they're criterias are. I ran my ads and had some people contact me, however, what I'm finding is that a lot of other investors are contacting me or no one contact me at all.

Increase home's value

1. An updated kitchen
2. Modern bathrooms
3. A well-appointed master suite
4. Natural materials
5. Curb appeal
6. A light, airy spacious feel
7. Good windows
8. Landscaping
9. Lots of storage
10. Basement

1. An updated kitchen. "Kitchens are critical," says Robert Irwin, author of "Home Buyer's Checklist." "Today, people like a big kitchen with a lot of workspace."

They look for solid surface counters and high-quality flooring, such as wood, laminate, tile or stone. And they want newer appliances in working order.

Hi! I`m brand new on the DG scene and have been looking for a outline of questions to ask a buyer just what they would like in a deal, like the Property Inspection Form. Also would like a story or two of someone approaching a bank officer,dress code? I take it one is sort of looking for an old familiar spirit, kin you instantly bond with. Any method of what is said when talking to funding people etc. Thank You Steve

Questions you will want to ask to screen your investor buyers:

Which areas are you most interested in?
What types of properties do you focus on?
How much of FMV do you like to buy your properties at?
What price range do you like to stick within?
How many beds, baths, sq.ft., garage, etc?
What kinds of repairs are you interested in? complete remodel, cosmetic, or some where in between?
How quickly can you typically close on a deal?
Do you buy your properties with cash or financing?
How many propetties can you close a month?
What is your exit strategy? Fix, and sell, hold, seller financing or lease option?
What should I include in property information that I send you?
Do you usually do bird dog or assignments of contract?
What have you normally paid on these?

In the business world there are private investors just like our real estate world. Some of these people are tied to groups called "Angel investors". In some cases, they might look to diversify their investment portfolio to include some real estate investsments too.

You can find them by doing a search online for "angel investors". I would recommend either seeing if you can attend one of their meetings or if you can gain an opportunity to present your investment proposal to the group or contact them individually.

How else can you physically find real investors besides going to REI clubs??

As a licensed Realtor in Florida, I am uncertain about claiming to be perceived as 'going behind a sign' to contact a seller that has a property that has been on the market for over 90 days.

If I act in my own name, I must identify myself. This could be an ethical breach of my license. If I use the name of a non-licensed family member, I could have problems up the road.

Does any one have a suggestion, other than speaking to an attorney. Has any one been in a similar situation before?

As always, thank you and thank you Dean!!!
