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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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…” [...]

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 [...]
