I am surprised to see some of the negative reviews on here because all I can say is that my experience has been nothing but positive.
I tried 3 other companies before going with Amplify and I was blown away at how amazing it is!! The very first lead that came in with Amplify, which was only 3 days after signing up, I was able to get under contract in 2 days and closed on it 2 weeks later. From this first lead I will make $28,000. It is a rehab and flip and we are selling it next week. This lead essentially has already paid for the marketing on the other 3 deals that I currently have because of Amplify. (Like Compound Interest)
The other company I worked with before Amplify took over a month and a half just to get the FaceBook page up and ready to go and my credit card linked to pay for the FaceBook ads. I tried to do it myself and paid $500 for a "do it yourself" course and it was so incredibly complicated that I called the company back and asked if I could pay them to do the ads for me. They said yes, but it will be $2,000 to set it all up and then $1,000/month and I still paid for the Facebook ads which were probably another $1,500/month. I was paying $30/day for the ads which at the time was averaged out to be about $30/lead. Every company I checked with for FaceBook ads charged this same amount if not more. I did this for 3 months and got 50 leads but couldn't get most of them back on the phone. I also would be out driving and a lead would come in so I was writing their information down on a napkin in the car or on my hand and had papers everywhere trying to keep up with the information. I only closed one deal with this FaceBook marketing group and it was because I made a really creative option and was able to wholesale a short sale.
Going back to Amplify and closing my first lead...I wondered if this was just a "Fluke" or if it was "too good to be true" but I have been working with Amplify for 4 months now. I ask the sellers where they submitted their info and they confirm the ads that Amplify is doing. I can confidently say that I have gotten really good leads and to top it off we are in a hot market which makes it even harder to get really good seller leads. I am in Houston, Texas and have since added on other cities like St. George, Utah. I can tell that there aren't as many leads coming from St. George as the city is smaller and mostly people building brand new homes to live in and it took me 2.5 months but I'm about to close a good rehab and flip there. Each city is going to have different results but this system does work. Follow up and timing is also key with sellers and Amplify automates this process to create an immediate call back and if I can't be on the call then the CRM will leave a message for me.
Most investors pay at least $5,000/month in Marketing on the low side to get really good seller leads and the cost is more expensive than that in a sellers market which we are in right now. It will take at least 100 leads on average to close 1 deal. Any investor who has done marketing knows that there are going to be those leads that want too much for their home or are not going to pick up the phone after they submit their information. That is just part of the game...if it were easy then everyone would do it.
I have been investing in Real Estate for 9 yrs and I am used to working really hard for my leads by knocking on doors, cold calling, tracking down vacant home owners, stopping foreclosures, etc. Google ads are expensive and take a long time to build up to be the top searched. So this was a whole different world to have these people calling me to sell their homes. I knew that FaceBook was the new way of the future and you have to keep up with changes in the industry or else you aren't going to be successful.
Since signing up with Amplify and using their CRM lead system and software to help me keep it all organized I feel like I could invest anywhere in the US as long as I have some good boots on the ground. With Amplify I'm truly adding systems into my business to make my life easier and more efficient and this saves me time and essentially equals $$.
