bajones 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Chris, I am about to team up with an agent that can pull the expired listings for me. What kind of conversion rate are you getting from these mailings? Burke Yellow, I don't market to pre-foreclosures, but every 45 days for free & clears or absentee's makes sense, since they aren't necessarily looking to sell. I'm going after expired listings though, where I know that they're interested in selling and probably frustrated/pissed off that their agent wasn't able to sell their house. Some may have decided not to sell, others might re-list with the same agent or a new agent. I wanna get them on the phone while they're most likely thinking "What to do?" and are more likely to be open to a creative solution. That's why I put my letters in front of them several times (7) over the 2 months after the listing expires.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can hand out his business cards and name to homeowners you meet who won't or can't work with you. These Agents live for listings and if you can provide him with some leads in exchange for expired listings and running some comps for you, it's a beautiful thing.

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Try calling local agencies and ask to speak with the new guy. Or hit up a local real estate club and make some contacts there. You can try some local title companies and mortgage brokers, also. They want your business and may have access to the MLS or know Agents who do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
