Yes for a total of 8 seller leads that come directly to me and me only, It's a little over $200 a month. I didn't mention this in the last post but using this or any other lead generation marketing means you have to be comfortable calling people. Following up with the leads will ultimately lead to more conversion. I think it's well worth the cost even if I only get 1 listing a month from Trulia.

I'm currently using Trulia as a lead generator for sellers. I'm paying for 4 leads in two zip codes and after the first month I did receive 8 leads. 2 were wrong numbers, 2 set up an appointment, 1 I still haven't gotten in touch with, and the rest were just looking or wanted to know their property estimate. Not too bad after one month but I plan to test it for at least 6 months. The account manager that I have is good about following up with me and will also replace junk leads. So far I'm satisfied but I'm not sure it would be necessary for an established agent to use this service, if they are using their sphere of influence correctly.

@David Hunter thanks for the great advice. i'm sure that'll help me stand apart from the agents who are just mls posters. I can imagine that the days on the market are fewer if your honest with your client about what they need to change, which is very valuable! 

 Thanks James, it was tough and took lots of patience. Well worth it in the end though.

 Thanks Mike!

@Jeff Valentino I havent identified any specific areas because I dont want to limit myself just yet. As a new agent Im ready to jump out there and get some contracts regardless of the location. I may be in over my head but thats life! I would like to focus on first time home buyers, luxury properties, and investment deals. Any of these could easily be in any location and any demographic. I have a few marketing campaigns to generate leads. After about 6 months I will determine which are the most effective and focus on those campaigns. 

@JOAN DICKIE I guess that answers your questions as well.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Thanks @Ramon Jenkins!

Hi guys, I'm happy to announce that im officially a full time real estate agent. I completed the pre-licensing course in April and passed the NC broker exam the beginning of May. I recently decided to hang my license at Helen Adams Realty, a well known family firm here in Charlotte, NC!

After wholesaling for extra income for 2 years I decided to leave my mortgage career and take on real estate sales full time. I'm very excited and ready to jump in full force. 

Any advice, besides the obvious, for a new agent would be greatly appreciated. Also, my company has a great relocation department so referrals are always welcomed!

Hi Doel! I'm a investor and a realtor in the Charlotte area. Id be glad to discuss your needs and begin searching for rentals for you. Shoot me an email when you get a chance [email protected].

I agree with the previous responses, post the deal in BP marketplace and you'll have plenty of responses if it's a good deal. Some people do not like putting their deals all over the internet and if that's your case send out emails to the people who've responded to this post. This could be the start to your buyers list!
