I think the simplest way to say this is with a commission sharing modelyou have to go through more leads than with just paying up front.Usually when it's commission sharing leads there's less of a vetting process,brand credibility, trust, and ease of conversation going into the lead.As long as the company is a viable one with a great reputation,there should be no issue taking a chance on paying for leads up front.Another question in mind is what's your confidence level when speaking with leads?

Have you looked at Aptly or Lead Simple?

I learned how to vet leads, pull lists, and even secured a few viable off-market homes.

Quote from @Ky Perry: As a real estate agent in the Salt Lake Valley, I want to know what lead sources other agents are using.

Someone comes in and uses lead roof materials, electrical conduits, a tank lining, soft solder, orparts from China all which have lead in remodeling after the certification...I know lead is dangerous for children.

Probate, pre-foreclosures, and tired landlords are all solid lead sources, but the key will be tight follow-up and making sure you’re targeting the right zip codes where buyers are most active.

I’m currently tracking trends in Central Texas and happy to discuss lead generation strategies, Airbnb viability in Waco, or any other real estate strategies.

My guy would manage them and also qualify leads.
