DIRECT MAIL (CHARLOTTE, NC)

[Chris Greene]

Hi. My name is Chris and I am new in the real estate investing game. I have been practicing law for the last 18+ years and now looking for a career change. I am hoping to find someone in the Charlotte, NC area who could answer a few simple questions about direct mail, lead generation, and the best way to get started. Does anyone have a good place to start looking or can anyone refer me directly to a real estate professional in the area? 

Thanks!!!

Chris

Hi Chris, 

Welcome. Direct mail is arguably the best way to generate consistent motivated seller leads for your business. All marketing needs to be done consistently, so set aside your budget, divide it into weekly amounts and deploy come hell or high water. 

Determine a list to target whether Probate, Inherited, absentee owner with high equity, pre foreclosure are the usual suspects. You can look up data providers. Good place to start Alesco data and List source. 

Then decide if you have it in your budget to out source to a mail house or your are going to self fulfill. Trust me the quicker you can get the stuffing stamping and writing off your plate the better off you will be. 

We use yellowletterscomplete.com for our bigger campaigns. Hope that gives you some direction. 

Cheers!
