Dealing with International Buyers: Part 2
Last week my little diva came down with the cold and unfortunately we all caught the bug, so being the mama bear I had to put business, social media, etc on hold to tend to the kids and myself with lotsa chicken noodle soup, cuddling, movies and video games. One of the many reasons why I love being my own boss (reason #384755: I can take time off anytime without permission … love it) Luckily, the... [Read more]
The house that just won’t quit.
I like to think I’m very good at problem solving and rolling with the punches, but 2 closings I had recently tested me in ways I’ve never been tested before, but I’m going to focus on one since, I’ve blogged about it extensively, here, here , here , here and here. A deal that I had been working on for 3 months finally got a clear title. As a summary, there were 3 people on title; one was deceased,... [Read more]
Dealing with International buyers: Part 1
How was your labor day weekend people? I’ve been trying to juggle so many things from making sure my daughter has a great day on her birthday, to prepping for her first day at school, spending quality time with family to wheelin’ and dealin’ and trying to create relationships with international buyers. Today, I’ll focus on some of the lessons I’ve learned dealing with international buyers... [Read more]
Is this buyer on your list?
Everytime I had a buyer campaign which in this case was sending out letters to absentee buyers, I only included local and out of state buyers, but for some reason I excluded international buyers. This time I decided to include them and I’m pleasantly surprised with the result. A few weeks ago, I got a call from a seller whose house I sold in March. He had a great experience and called to sell his... [Read more]
Cold feet VS Quick feet buyers?
This week I bet I answered and made over 50 calls and guess what? Most of those calls were for one closing. The best part is, it was all for a great assignment fee… ready for this? $1500. The irony of it all is the other closing I have tomorrow is for a $4000 assignment fee and I only spent a few hours on it. It’s funny how the lower the assignment fee, the more the work required. My seller... [Read more]
Oh! What a day
Today is one of those days where you get somewhat of a good news and then a bad news and it feels like things are not just working the way you want it to ….grrrrrr. I’m having one of those days right now and it doesn’t feel good to say the least. My daughter caught the bug and her doctor said she might have the stomach flu….my poor baby. I decided to take most of the day... [Read more]
Endless Checklist
It’s been a fun, busy, challenging last few weeks. I feel like I have an endless checklist of things to do and just when I think I’m almost done, I add 10 more. I have accomplished a lot I set out to do, but still have lots to do, so I would like to update you guys on what I’ve been up to. My 2 year old daughter is finally potty trained after lots of cupcakes and fruit candies … Yeaaa!... [Read more]
The Secret Deal Maker
Last week, I spoke to 2 very motivated sellers ready to accept a lower price than I offered because of changing circumstances. Seller (Laura) was just recently divorced and as part of the divorce settlement, she was given some of her ex husband’s rental properties. Listening to her story was quite fascinating because I know in most states the couples get to share the assets and this case she became... [Read more]
The Runaway Buyer
Yes, I was left at the altar. Just imagine a few hours to the wedding of your dreams with beautiful white flowing gown, bridal train, bouquets, 7 tier cakes, wine bar, best DJ in town, a wedding planner for the stars to boot…you get the idea, and the music come on, “here comes the bride…” walking down the aisle with no groom waiting in anticipation for you at the altar. Well, ladies and gentlemen….after... [Read more]
Sow Seeds – Reap Rewards.
The last 2 weeks have been very busy. When I first started wholesaling, I mapped out a farm area of about 8 zipcodes that most of my buyers are interested in purchasing houses, and have been marketing exclusively to those areas. In my last marketing effort, I sent out postcards to Absentee owners and after 2 days my phone started ringing off the hook. On Tuesday 7/6, I sent out 1040 Postcards and... [Read more]
