Motivated Sellers- Lower Response through Winter and Holiday Season?

Motivated Sellers- Lower Response through Winter and Holiday Season?

For those of you who do your own marketing and have done so for at least a year, either investors or wholesalers, do you notice a dip in responses to your marketing material during this time a year from October through December? I am beginning to see quite a big dip in my own business.

I know traditional real estate experiences a decline at this time, but I was wondering if you notice a decline in motivated seller responses during this time in your business as well.

I spoke with someone from another state here on BP, and he said December is one of his busiest months? Perhaps lower response rate during this time is specific to DFW?

    @Samantha M.

    My largest wholesale profit 20k was made in December. Five days before Christmas. I did a double closing, so I walked away with 15.6k

    @Arktavious Sally Awesome job! I know some people get killer deals during the holiday, but in general, do you notice a decline in the amount of leads that come in?

    @Samantha M. Just slightly. However, I personally slow my marketing down around that time of the year and go hard the first of the year. Most people are doing the family thing around November and December.
