Think Outside Of The Box

I speak with many, MANY agents on a monthly basis and most are struggling to find listings.

Best way to find deals is guerrilla marketing.

You have to think outside of the box.

A bench ad or Zillow are too expensive and are not going to do it if you're on a tight budget.

That's why education is so important.

Probates, inheritance, code violations, tax delinquency are all incredible.

Most agents don't send handwritten letters to these lists because

they don't know the process of how probate works for example.

But all it takes is a couple of hours of YouTube videos and online research

and you'll know more than 90% of agents out there.

Out of 100's of agents I spoke too last month, only 1 knew of probate.

THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.

    Bench Ads.....do people really get business from those?  What a waste of money.

    I agree with you.

    And vacant houses/buildings.  How many do we drive past every day?  People complain there is a housing shortage, but all these vacant homes everywhere, should be rented or sold.  Plenty of opportunity for everyone.  Just takes a bit of work.

      I've heard bench ads and tv commercials so many times and the amount of money you spend compared to more effective strategies is drastic.

      Yes! I love the good ol' driving for dollars way of finding deals! Always tried and true! It's your own list, you know the house condition from the start!

      I remember living in Denver/Capitol Hill for the first time back in 2015, what I would do is run for dollars lol because I'd be going on a run in the neighborhood anyway so I created a voice note on my run and would record every address I saw that needed work or looked vacant. And there was quite a bit in Cap Hill!
