while you all are fighting over bandit-signs...

I am sitting on my butt effortlessly taking all the leads away from y'all!

YAAAAAAWN..

Oh snaps, just got an other lead.

Oops sorry.. my bad.. TWO more leads.

Actually.. again my bad.

Make that THREE new leads.

when will you people ever learn....

@Efrain Diaz Here’s a creative solution for you. If you are flipping too, or at least whole-tailing, when you’re doing renovations, put a sticker “we buy houses” or whatever your bandit signs would have said, on the garbage can you’re using for the flip. Since it’s your property, that shouldn’t be an issue.

You could also put a sticker on your car (tacky, I know), but when you’re driving for dollars or out in the city, it could definitely attract some calls.

Final and best option (assuming you just wholesale): When you’re assigning over a deal to a flipper, offer you take a smaller assignment fee if they would be willing to put your “We buy houses” stickers on their equipment while flipping (like the garbage cans).

@Efrain Diaz I had almost the same experience after putting countless bandit signs I had the city calling threatening to fine me a good buyers list and a couple of dead leads. I've also decided that this strategies wasnt right for my market and since then have experimented with other things as far as marketing goes.

@Efrain Diaz 😁 Good to hear your story. I sometimes would like of try the bandit signs but hearing your experience makes second guess that. Thank you for telling of your story.

I just don't understand how these signs work. They say a person house is usually the most valuable thing they own, so how can anybody out there be so lazy or stupid as to not consult at least one real estate agent and/or do some basic research on their local market to see what they can get for their house, rather than call one of these numbers.

I had the same problem in sales. I never believed anyone would be so stupid that the script would work on them.

Speaking of stupid marketing gimmicks with an extremely low signal-to-noise ---

How many of you own your own house and get at least a dozen letters every week offering to give you ALL CASH for your property, no matter the condition?

(raises hand)

I even got one offering to buy my Post Office Box. I was almost ready to take that one .....

I can not imagine such a campaign is actually worth the time and money ... but people keep doing it, so what do I know.

I would imagine that anyone looking to “find” the bandit sign owner would only need to call, set up an appointment and bingo! They know who you are. ;)

Your not supposed to use your own phone number on these ! You use a google voice number . If the code guys call tell them to pound salt , it’s not traceable if you set this up correctly
