mpine 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Hey all, I just signed up to Warnocks FSBO, figured I would give it a try. Anyone using it here? And if you are using it, how are you importing the data into a database? I have been using Access and having nothing but trouble. My specific issue is creating a mail merge from this so I can send out LPA letters. I am getting a lot of junk. Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyguru 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Mike: I'm not using the service you named, but when I used to create and administer databases from the main frame into Access, the data always had to be cleaned before importing into Access, because of stupid Korporate ignorance. Of course they should send clean data. However, if they don't, you still need the data, and you need help automating cleaning the data, I'll see what I can do to help. But the best bet is of course to have them send clean data in the first place. Alice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Not being familiar with Warnock's personally, I'd be interested to hear if anyone has used them myself, and what the word on the street is about 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest John W. Collins Report post Posted September 22, 2004 Hello everyone, I new to the board and just thought I would chime in here. mpine, I was curious to know how the Warnocks FSBO is working out for you. I signed up for their free 14 day trial and have been getting FSBO leads emailed to me for the last few days. I haven't called any of the leads as of yet, but it looks like it could prove to be a very big time saver. How has the service worked for you??? Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpine 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 Hey John, Hopefully in the next 2 weeks I will have a good evaluation on it. I have opted to be a wuss and do 2 mailings to the prospective sellers before calling... I figure people are more comfortable talking with someone they perceive as an expert in the field. This week I am going to pick up the phone and follow up with those people. However while waiting for my marketing on Warnocks, I went around and sent emails to every FSBO in my market, and got a very hot response, lots of phone calls, 1 close deal but in the end no dice as of yet... you never know when someone will change there mind though. So I will keep you upto date on how Warnocks works out after I follow up. Best wishes, Mike :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesT 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 Wow, thanks for the link. I'm going to try it. For the past several weeks (I'm just getting started in this biz) I've been paying a gal $8.00 an hour to scour the internet and send this info to me. Usually it's about $24 bucks a week, which is no big deal. But Warnocks is cheaper, and I'm hoping it's more complete! I'll report back here on how it goes!

Guest Guest Report post Posted October 25, 2004 I have a friend who uses it - he's a realtor. Has gotten some good leads for himself. As investors, I think it may be worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My specific issue is creating a mail merge from this so I can send out LPA letters. I am getting a lot of junk. Thanks, Mike Well I believe you should be using Excel. Do you have excel? Access is a difficlut program and I don't recomend it. Excel is what you should download to, then to the database. I have act and agent office. I got agent office free from fidelity title San Diego.
