Dear Newbies,

I know the TV and the Newspapers have got you thinking that this is the worst real estate market that you’ll ever see. if you don’t quit watching that crap, you’re going to self combust. There are too many people doing deals right now in today’s market, including myself, and you can do the same thing!! You have to know how to market for these properties, and more specifically, you have to know how to price and sell them quickly.

Fear can overcome your entire being when it comes time to make a decision about getting started in real estate. Coaching can be expensive, and some of these coaches can even make you feel left out in the cold. They’re too busy to take the time with you that you need, and you may never get a deal done. I’m not calling any names out, because there are some really great coaches out there, but some may just want your credit card number.

I’m ready to help some newbies out!! I’m ready to be the one who can help you make it happen. Here’s the deal:

For a LIMITED number of people(5) , I will be your real estate coach/mentor. I will help you get through the hardest part (your first deal), and see to it that you make a big check. Once you get through the first one, the rest will be a piece of cake. I’ll be there to help you overcome your fear and make sure you’re doing and saying all of the right things to your sellers, Realtors, buyers, etc.

I know I will get a huge response from people who want to get on board with me today, so please, please understand that I can’t take everyone under my wing. I am a pretty busy lady, and have a full planner page. I’m going to squeeze my calendar and make time for you!! I want you to do a deal, so I’m going to see to it that it happens for you.

Here’s the scoop on the partnership:

1. You must have some training under your belt and know the technical part of doing a deal. You don’t have to know everything, but some basic knowledge about how creative real estate works is certainly a must.
2. You must be willing to pay for at least 1,000 yellow letters and a mailing list. That is your investment into this deal to show me that you are serious about becoming a real estate investor and being in business for yourself.
3. You need to be open to suggestion and follow the advice that I give you when it comes to deal analysis, making offers, and selling the property. You will also do all of the talking to the seller (of course I’ll tell you what to say and how to say it). If it gets to a point where you need for me to step in, I will, but I want you to get used to doing it on your own (or you’ll always be afraid to do it).
4. We will split the profit on the deal 50/50 at closing (we will sign a partnership agreement for one time transaction agreeing to this).
5. You will provide me with a recorded/video testimonial once the deal closes explaining how I was able to help you and how much money you made on the deal.
6. You will pay me a one time fee in advance of $1,000.00 (that’s it) for my time.  It doesn’t matter how much time it takes me to get you through your first deal, that’s how much of my time you’re buying.  My time is valuable, it’s just not Free………

MAKE SURE YOU READ AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE TERMS BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS FORM!!

Here’s what I’ll contribute:

1. My time and knowledge making sure you know how to pre-screen sellers, how to select the deals that make sense, what to do with the deals that don’t, etc.
2. Walking you through the entire process of getting a deal under contract all the way to closing. This will include marketing, taking calls, making appointments, your presentation, negotiating, signing paperwork, marketing to sell, finding buyer, and closing on the transaction. If it’s a short sale, I’ll help you with that, as well.
3. Being your motivation and your “security blanket” until you get through the deal.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, you’re going to need to reply in a quick like fashion. I really only have the time to commit for 5 people. That’s it. So if you’re interested, don’t procrastinate!! Fill out the form below and I will be in touch with you shortly. Remember, I’m only taking 5 students, so don’t be upset if I don’t choose you.

Are you struggling with your bank account, but still determined to get started in the real estate business?  I totally understand where you’re coming from!  It’s not easy trying to juggle around all of the expenses that are associated with starting in the real estate business.  After all, you have education and training, travel, hotels, business cards, websites, marketing campaigns, and now answering services.  Gheez….You’d think this is a real business or something. (Who’da thunk it?)

Sample Craigslist Ad:

I need someone to answer and pre-screen my calls. These calls are coming in as a result of direct marketing efforts to owners of real estate that are in unique situations (foreclosure,divorce, bankruptcy, probate, etc).

Your job will be to answer the call, and ask them a series of questions that will be provided to you by me.  I will pay you $1.00 per call for each pre-screening form that you turn in to me (that is completed) , and $.50 for each call /message that is turned in (or partially complete).

This can be done from your home, but I do need someone who can take calls on the “fly” – and maintain a professional sound to the caller (no TV, dogs, or other noises in the background).  I will forward my own number to you so that you can take the calls.  I will pay you once per week on Fridays – either via PayPal or check (your choice).

Reply to my ad if interested. I will call you to do a a phone interview and a “test run”.

One of the most important things that you can use to present yourself to a seller (or buyer) of real estate is credibility. You can talk all you want about how smart, proficient, professional, and helpful you are, but the person you’re talking to may still be reluctant to do business with you.

That is why I want you to start getting testimonials from your clients and start using them in your presentations! There is nothing quite as powerful as the spoken testimonial from someone who has used your services and is pleased. When they are willing to write a testimonial on paper and allow you to share it with your potential clients, that is a powerful recommendation.

Even better than written testimonials are video testimonials. These days, everyone should have a website (or at least a laptop computer). You can easily capture testimonials on video and post them right to your website – or you can keep them on your hard drive and play them for your potential clients during your presentation. This technique will close some deals for you without you having to say another single word.

Here’s what I do: Just as soon as I’ve agreed to terms with the seller or buyer, and the contract has been signed, I pull out my checklist to make sure that everything has been completed. Contract, signatures, email addresses collected, all of that technical stuff. Then I ask the seller, “Have you been happy with the service that I’ve provided”? They have 100% always said “Yes, of course!” I then say “Well, then you wouldn’t mind giving me about 15 or 20 seconds of video that I can use on my website, would you?”

I carry The Flip Video in my bag with me at all times when I’m on an appointment. Then I pull it out and tell them “When the red light comes on, just tell me your name, and how I was able to help you in this transaction”. Then I hold the camera up and hit the Record button.

I have never had anyone tell me “No” to this. Sometimes they are a little nervous because it’s the “camera in their face” syndrome, but with a little help from me about what to say, they get through it with no problem. And then BAM! I’ve got a video testimonial that I can use on my website and in my credibility kit for life.

Check out just a few of the video testimonials that I’ve captured on video:

This is exciting stuff right here!  Dan (he’s my husband in case you didn’t know) has been working on some new marketing techniques.  He’s got the assembly of the media locked down pretty tight, and the message is good.  He wanted to “man up” and challenge my yellow letters to a response rate contest!  (ROFL)  Listen to the podcast to find out what we did!

With foreclosures at an all time high, real estate entrepreneurs all over the country are cashing in on short sales. In fact, the number of foreclosures have not even hit the peak, with more mortgages expected to make interest rate adjustments in 2009. That will leave real estate professionals alot of opportunity to get involved with short sales, to save the owners from foreclosure and make a few thousand bucks while you’re at it.

So, you might be wondering…how can I generate some short sale leads? That’s easy!  People that are behind on their mortgage payments are facing foreclosure.  Statisics show that once a property owner becomes 60 days late on their mortgage payment, there is only a 9% chance that they’ll be able to catch up on their payments. That is the perfect time to contact these individuals and start discussing their options with them, and more specifically, how you can help them out of the situation.

Our Pre-NOD Leads will give you just that – information on property owners that are 30-60-90 and 120 days late on their mortgages.  If you start marketing to these leads when they become 30 days late, and continue to market to them every 30 days, you are almost guaranteed to generate PLENTY of leads that are ready to do business with you. They are motivated and at a point in their life when the advice or hep of someone in the business is exactly what they’re looking for. Most of the time, they don’t know where to turn.  This is why a marketing plan for Pre-NOD Leads can make a big difference – not only to you, but also to the owners who desperately need your help.

Begin your short sale marketing campaign by deciding on the area in which you want to work.  Select 10 zip codes, and then order our Pre-Designed Short Sale Marketing Package to capture enough short sale leads to keep you busy and making big checks for months!!

Good Luck with Your Lead Generation!  Now get out there and get something done.
