Here Realtor, Realtor! Now Sit

Okay so the title is a little obnoxious, sorry :mrgreen:

Here is my questions. I have been investing (rehabbing, wholesaling) since 2001. I recently got into the short sale game and would like some feedback on what others are doing to market for Realtors... I searched the archives and found stuff on where to find NOD's and how to find sellers but could not find anything on how to market to Realtors...

Currently, I post adds on Craigslist- Example: https://accounts.craigslist.org/post/shwpst?pii=1678873368&db=lv and I do walk ins to Realtor offices.

I simply talk to the gate keeper and ask who is doing shorts. Then I say I'm a buyer and need to speak with them...

Okay, so I've got two ways down, but I only have a handful of quality Realtors and want to know what others are doing to market and get leads (Realtors) calling and producing
:help: Thanks...

Dustin,

When you get short sale leads on your own, use the targeted realtor to list the property. That will introduce your self and educate them of your process. Most of the time when they see how easy it is for them they will bring you leads.

    Thanks Steve,

    I've seen all of Nicks posts, Just went back through again and could not find anything specific to what I asked.

    He does have some great posts on there, and his videos are great too. I always check with Nicks page first before looking elsewhere, and he has been kind enough to help me with an issue on a deal too...

    Stil waiting for ideas... Anyone???

    Dustin,
    If you have access to the MLS, or can get it, peruse listings and you will quickly see who the major short sale realtors are in your area. Then it is just a phone call. Some of the big players will not be interested in investor deals and many have already been solicited, but the MLS will tell you who the hitters are.

    Thanks Ted- I do have access and will try that as well... Just a side note I sent an email from your homepage requesting some information on funding. Can you look through and get back with me or have someone, thanks...

    Lawrence that too is a great idea... I have not really be marketing on my own, but I have been helping my Realtors with leads I get, just passing the leads off... Maybe I should use those to hook new realtors...HMMM... I'll look in to that, thanks guys....
