MichaelC 160 Report post Posted September 17, 2008 Then you'll need to market aggressively to find homeowners. I find it difficult to accept that every homeowner in your area prefers selling traditionally using a Realtor. Get the word out. Homeowners need to know who you are, what you do, how you can help them, and how to contact you. Do that effectively and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the number of homeowners who contact you.

hassansr 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 Use a combination of ads, signs and direct pieces with the message "I Buy Houses" and your phone number and website. Do this consistently for a month and you'll get calls. You may also want to invest in a good program for marketing to sellers. That way you'll have a step by step guide with templates and a plan. BTW if your county only has 20k people in it that really is a problem as the numbers aren't there for your marketing to be effective; you may be able to buy, but selling will be a big problem. How far away is the nearest population center (city) with at least 50k people? You may want to shift your marketing to that area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
