When my friend Jim Casey, a respected and sought after real estate trainer and speaker, (he also sells real estate in California), told me about his new system for using your current database to get more closings, I thought I’d at least listen to what he had to say.

Now, in case you think this is just a bunch of unproven theories and ideas, you should know that Jim has been teaching his systems and strategies for over 14 to some of the top agents across North America.

Top real estate agents like Allan Domb – the “Condo King” of Philadelphia, who credits many of the over 900 deals he closes to Jim’s teachings.  Leslie Edwards of Georgia also credits Jim with her phenomenal success.  

What Jim has done is taken all of his know-how and expertise and put it all together in a step-by-step format.

His strategies are very powerful, yet extremely simple. I don’t know why someone didn’t think of
it sooner. He created a short video that tells you all about it and what’s in it for you.

Jim will also explain how you can get access to his FREE Video Training.  Here are just some of Jim’s Money-Making Strategies that he profiles:

1. Automated Past Buyer Follow Up System.  Never let a buyer forget who sold them their house.  You can do this simply and cost effectively with Dave Beson’s LetterWriter software for Agent Office.
2. Rejection Free For Sale By Owner Prospecting.  Why not make the FSBO’s come to you?  It’s easy if you have the right ammunition.
3. The Lexus Listing Plan.  Everyone in real estate sells the Ford Taurus of listing services.  Why not offer something better, and get paid MORE for it.  I’ll show you how to build an upgrade to your existing listing plan that can be launched on top of your standard plan.
4. The Preferred Vendor List.  Every new buyer needs a referral to at least 20 local businesses when they move into a new town.  I’ll show you how to build that list and how to leverage it into advertising dollars and reciprocal referrals.

Anyway, I suggest you check it out – it’s fr-ee.

Best,

Josh

I hope you had as busy a week as I did!  I think I had 17 appts. this week which was crazy.  I wanted to share a tip that I think will be useful to many of you.  The reason I wanted to share this is because I have been amazed at how few agents know about this.

OK, so what am I talking about?  Well what I want to share is a tip for using something called reverse prospecting.  Now your MLS system may have a different name for it, but I think almost all MLS systems have this functionality in some shape or form.  Now let me try and explain what this is exactly. 

This function allows you to take any of your listings or any listing and search how many other agents hare working with buyers and have set up auto notifications that match the listing.  The most common way of using this function is to simply send an email to those agents letting them know you have a property that matches a buyers search criteria that they are working with.  But let me give you 2 other great ways to use this that may not have thought of:

1.  You pick up a listing on say a Wednesday morning.  You can use this function to search for the other agents looking for buyers of your property.  Then pick up the phone and call each agent, but here is how you position this call.  Let them know that you are going to be listing a property that meets the criteria of a buyer they are working with.  Then tell them that they have the opportunity to really separate themselves with their buyers by telling them that because you (buyers agent) have your pulse on the market you know about a property coming up that hasn’t even been listed yet and how their buyers can get a jump on the competition because of this. 

So this can do 2 things for you:

• first off you can generate a buzz for your property before it even hits the MLS
• second you are allowing other agents in your market to add value and positioning with their buyer clients

2.  The other way you can use this as part of a listing presentation.  You can do this search prior to the presentation and show your potential sellers how you will use this information to sell their home quickly by creating a buzz.  And I don’t know about your market but in my market it’s like less than 2% of agents in my area even use this function whatsoever.

Now to really get results with this you need to have homes that are priced right, because in this market generally speaking price is pretty much the only thing that sells houses.

I hope this is helpful and would love your feedback on this as well!

You may have already seen and heard this, but Google just added the ability to syndicate listings to their maps feature.  This is yet another great no cost feature that you have access to and should leverage in your business.  Here is a link to a great blog post that I think explains it pretty well:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1312464/google-maps-new-feature-for-real-estate-listings

Pay attention to what you need to do to syndicate your listings as that is most critical part.  Will be interesting to see how this materializes and what kind of traffic it might draw.

Have a great week!

Last week, I received a great question from one of my Renegade Report members. The member asked the following question:

“My database has around 500 prospects. Every now and then I send them deal alerts but very few respond. I’ve only been able to generate a few appointments and a few offers to date. At what point (1,000? 5,000?) can I expect people to make offers and actually buy?”

This is an excellent question, isn’t it?

First off, if you’re marketing to your database of 500 people via email, you have to understand that only a small percentage of people will actually read your emails. This is because of spam filters, dull email subject lines, and competition over your prospect’s inbox by other marketers, friends and work-related issues. Let’s assume that only 10 percent of those in your database read your emails. A database of 500 prospects would indicate that 50 people read what you’ve sent them.

In marketing, 50 interested prospects isn’t a very large number.

This doesn’t mean that you won’t sell, it just means that you’re not going to generate huge results through email marketing, unless you build a larger database. With 50 interested prospects, you can assume that 5 percent to 10 percent of them might respond to your offer. This would translate into two to five responses, depending on what you’re marketing and how you’re marketing it.

As you can see, marketing is all about numbers. The larger your database, the more responses you’ll receive. You shouldn’t expect 100 people to respond to something you offer via email if your database has only 500 prospects. It simply won’t happen.

This is why building a large database is so critical for your success. I constantly preach that you should generate 100 leads a month for every full-time agent on your team. My monthly lead-generation goal was 400 leads. Throughout a year, my database grew by 4,800 prospects. Unfortunately, not many agents are listening. In fact, I get negative comments from agents who say 100 leads a month is too many for one agent to handle. Simply not true! In fact, it’s a major limiting belief.

Imagine how your marketing would change if you had 10,000 prospects in your database? One email would be opened by 1,000 prospects (10 percent) and 50 to 100 (5 percent to 10 percent) would respond to the offer made in the email. The game changes dramatically.

Everything gets easier.

As you start to think about 2010, make sure your marketing focus is on building your database. It’s the best investment you’ll ever make. If you need a little help, I strongly suggest downloading my program titled “31 Days to a Larger Database” for just $12.95 available at:

Oh and don’t wait for January to start implementing new strategies for your business. Let your competition blow off November and December waiting for the New Year to start.

Begin implementing your 2010 goals now and get a head start!

If you ask most real estate professionals what their number one business asset is you’ll get a variety of answers.  Some answers may include their office, their listings, their agents or subagents, their marketing materials etc.  All of these are good answers but in this humble real estate entrepreneurs opinion they would all be WRONG!  It is my strong belief that an active buyers list is by the most valuable asset to have for your real estate business (when you think about it this probably holds true for any business).  In fact I believe a buyers list is the closest thing to a money machine as there is in the game of real estate.

Let me give you a couple of examples illustrating my point.  Earlier this week I had a former client call and tell me that he had a rehab property to sell.  I had sold several of his properties for him in the past and so I was the first person he called.  We came to terms and the very first thing I did, before even getting the property on the MLS was I sent it to my own in house buyers list.  Here are the results.  I had 9 people respond to the email in less than 12 hour.  Three of them saw the property the very next day, one came to see the property the day after that and the rest of are seeing it over the weekend.  I already have one offer and will taking other offers through Monday.  This is all before even inputting into the MLS!  See what I mean about a cash machine?

Here is another illustration of how valuable this asset can be to your business.  Do you think have a strong and active buyers list could make a difference in a listing presentation.  You better believe it.  How many other Realtors in your market do you think would be able to make that same claim?  Not many I can assure you.  This immediately makes it a no brainer for that seller to work for you.  In fact just this week I had a seller call me to come take a look at his house.  I went out took a look and went through a presentation.  At the end I asked why he called me.  He said well I am on your buyers list and get your emails and I figured you have a big list of buyers already so it would only make sense to work with you versus someone else without a buyers list.

Let me give you one last reason why a buyers list is a cash machine.  Do you think there are other products and/or services that you have access to that might be of interest to your list?  Absolutely there  are!  Find something that is a fit for your list and offer it out to them.  In fact with this strategy you can make money with your list without selling them a home.  Of course you need to take into account any rules, stipulations or disclosures you must make, but this is a great way to add revenue streams to your business and make money from an asset that you have already built.  Some examples would be home warranties, lawn care, pest removal, radon, contractor services, credit repair services, etc.

If you aren’t building a buyers list, what are you waiting for?  Start building one today.  If you have one keep building your list and your relationship with the list as well as trying to add some revenue streams.
