Hey all,

What are the most efficient marketing strategies for finding qualified leads besides cold calling and print mail?

Hello @Reva Schwob

I'm in your market and I can say that there's no one proven method for success, but rather it needs to be an ecosystem of a little bit of everything. You need to market yourself on social media, you need to direct-mail (and have an effective strategy because everyone is direct mailing), driving for dollars, hunting on MLS, cold calling (skiptrace), going to the REI meetups and connecting, meeting with realtors, talking with wholesalers (and letting them know you're not a tire kicker), etc.

Baltimore is very relationship based as you may know so having relationships is honestly one of the best ways.

I've been doing all thee above and still I could be better. The real giants in our market do all these things well. Deals come from wherever but you gotta be putting in the work. Hope that helps!

Google Ads is a great way to scale because the operational burden is low. Leads are high quality so your salesperson doesnt have to spend a lot of time sifting through tire kickers. A lot of full time teachers/engineers/parents/workers use PPC to grow their part-time REI hustle, because they have limited time during each day.
