Motivated Sellers - Time Tested and Proven Strategies for Finding Them

Are you a Real Estate Investor looking to market for Sellers? As with any business, marketing is key. Without Sellers you have no business. You make money in real estate when you buy. There are many strategies that can be used to attract Sellers to your business. I am writing this article to give Investors a list of possible marketing options.

Why should you employ different marketing strategies to attract Sellers?

Not everyone that has a house to sell will be on a list you can purchase and not everyone you want to reach uses the internet. Your goal is to reach as many people as possible. People vary greatly and how they look for what they want varies also. The more different marketing strategies you use the better your success rate will be. Start with one strategy and add a new one everyone. You should get to the point that you are simultaneously implementing six different strategies at one time. You also need to track the success rate of each campaign. Why keep spending money on strategies that are not working. In time you will figure out which ones work best in your area.

Direct Mail - This strategy requires that you have a list of possible Sellers you want to reach. You can purchase lists from a variety of companies. You can buy a list of Landlords, Foreclosures, or For Sale By Owner for example. You can reach the individuals on your list by mailing out postcards, flyers or letters. This strategy yields a high success rate, but it is expensive. Remember you must give Direct Mail time to be successful. On average you have to mail out a list 7 times to completely reap all the rewards.

Courthouse Records - You can create lists from courthouse records. You can search for pre-foreclosure records, probate records and tax lien records. You can reach the individuals on your list by mailing out postcards, flyers or letters. You can also do a reverse phone number search on the internet and call them. The mailing will costs you, but everything else just cost you time.

Business Cards - Hand out your business card to anyone you can think of. Start with friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers. Ask if you can leave them on counters at local businesses. Give them to strangers. Business cards are relatively inexpensive.

Bandit Signs - Everyone has seen these signs around town. They are usually yellow stating ' We Buy Houses '. Put these as high as possible and create a schedule for re-posting since they are taken down frequently. Make sure to include your phone number and website url. Track where these signs are being taken down so you can adjust your posting to decrease costs.

Magnet Signs - These are signs that you place on your car, truck or van. They are inexpensive and give lots of exposure. Make sure to include your phone and website url. This strategy works well because you expose your business to many people while you drive around town.

The variations of marketing are endless. Remember to be creative and consistent. The more strategies you employ the better your chances of success. Start with a modest budget in the beginning and as your business grows, so should your marketing budget. Everyone has heard the expression ' It pays to advertise '. The seeds you plant today will mature in the future.
