I recently did a webinar for the Residential Real Estate Council on my Distressed Property Listing System. There were hundreds on the call, only one person actually reached out after the training. Here are a few things to share from that training and some thoughts I have.
QUESTIONS ASKED DURING THE TRAINING:
❓How can we get a list of people to mail?..mailing people in distress is the easy part, it's having things setup to look professional and a system of what to say and do when they call that is the important part, but most real estate agents don't realize that. It's not about the list, it's about what you do with the list and how you respond to them.
❓Can you give us the specific thing you write on your letters that get them opened?.. That's easy, what I write is " **offer enclosed" on the bottom of the envelope in blue pen
❓How many people are on your team?.. this is the most interesting question. Because YES you cannot do everything youself, that is true of course. But when agents ask about "your team" I know they are referring to "how many real estate agents do you have that are working this system" but the reality is it only takes ONE REALTOR.
The rest of the team is ACTUALLY:
Bankruptcy Attorney
Home Inspector
Termite Inspector
Well & Septic Inspector
Class C Licensed & Insured Contractor
Title Attorney
Mold Remediator on standby
Junk Removal Company
Moving Company / 2 men and truck
Goodwill phone # handy
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE WEBINAR:..After spending the last year working on submitting my information to every bank, Federal Housing Authority and Department of Federal Government known to man, I received the call that Spangler Real Estate was approved to begin receiving VA REO property listings. This is not by chance, it was becuase of the setup I had done over the last 18 months. So that they could go online and verify all they needed and required. I am now putting together a training on how to become an REO listing agent/broker and the step by step process to get approved quickly.
