Hope all is still rocking and rolling! Could you do me a solid and email me a copy of the homeowners in foreclosure letter? I would very much appreciate.

Thanks soul brotha!

Hey I feel if people like you who know what they’re doing and are agressively helping homeowners out of their plight then you indeed should be able to market as you fell. If someone is visiting a certain Doctor, they are always able to get a 2nd opinion. It’s ludicrous that a homeowner is locked in. I know if I had a short sale up in Orange county or Poinciana who I’d call!

As for the Tiger ad…I just love how Nike again went outside of the box. If agents created stuff like that they would own their marketplace.

Keep it real BB!

Love the Tiger Woods Nike ad. That’s what brought me here.

On the other hand, I’ve never seen anything like this postcard, but then again, I’m sure that’s why it gets a lot of attention and response!

If possible to post both items as Publisher files, that would be most appreciated. You’ve got my wheels turning to strategize a marketing campaign for my area (SF Bay Area). Good stuff.

Do you have the Real Estate version of the above letter?

thanks!!

I have been doing deals for almost 2 decades and have used various marketing pieces with varying level of success. Sorry but there is no way I worry about commission. Heck if it turns out to be too much of a pain I just buy it at auction or have them deed me the house and tell the agent to come pick up their sign. (I love to make those calls!)

The letter is working very well and it looks like we’re headed for what might be a near record or record month.

I don’t have the time to deal with this crap. You make statements of which you have no idea of what you speak. Here’s one nugget…”REALTOR.com does not show the status of a property as being a foreclosure or short sale… this is something only in the MLS ” If you think this data is only available in the mLS you are really kidding yourself.

Unlike most agents we actually spend money on marketing and we have opt-in lists all over the Internet designed to bring in buyers. In fact, there are a number of opt-in locations on various articles on this site.

My business is based upon getting buyers to opt-in. We operate a number of websites and THAT’s how we get names. Don’t you realize that with every comment you write you expose more ignorance. Let me ask you something. We have so many different systems that feed into a central database. Broward County offers records available for purchase. Corelogic has another very good service and XimauSA offers us yet another..and yes, we are able to cull data together and create very valuable mashups to do what we need to do.

I never..ever said all Realtors were bad. In fact much to the contrary. I have always heralded some of the good ones I have run across. I just see so much crap day in day out. While the average buer only has to deal with crap once in a lifetime, I run in to it daily. So I know where it is and I know what it looks like. I have absolutely no aversion whatsoever working with an agent.

IT ACTUALLY MAKES MY JOB EASIER TO WORK WITH AGENTS. I PREFER TO WORK WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS. I just hate it when they don’t have a clue and are stinking the joint up. I am not going to make my business subject to working with an agent and an agent is stupid to be posturing when they have someone like me who wants to buy the property…but alas too many do and in those instances, I have to go for the kill shot.

moral of the story and the point of this now EXTREMELY long post, answer your phones, respond to your emails and become proficient about your “profession” and there is no problem. That’s it..that’s all that needs to happen. So why don’t you write letters and emails and blog posts telling your brethren to get their act together and maybe..just maybe…they’ll be able to actually some level of credibility and respect with the American public before the next Harris poll comes out.

Until then..it’s bombs away!

It’s been fun but alas the debate is over. I have some video editing to do before I turn in and I don’t think anyone wants to sludge thru anymore of these comments. As you can see…people want to know how to make money, not deal with what ifs. I thank you for coming by and chatting but it’s time to mov eon.

I enjoy debate as much as the next but it’s obviously not getting us anywhere and this has become a time suck. Have a great week…and be happy I’m not in Wichita !
