MARKETING STRATEGIES
Foreclosures. Short sales. Bankruptcies. Tax liens.
The money is always where the market is, and right now, the market is in distressed properties.
To keep your commissions going strong, go where the deals are and learn how to attract buyers like a moth to a flame.
Everyone likes a bargain, especially when it comes to real estate. If you really want to entice buyers and investors, make sure you are showcasing extremely good distressed property deals on your website, social media outlets and marketing material.
For example, broadcasting a fixer-upper as a diamond in the rough just waiting to be discovered is something that will attract virtually every buyer. Even if turns out not to be the deal they have been waiting for, you’ll at least have a fish on the line ready to be reeled in by another great deal.
To incorporate the biggest distressed property deals into your business, it can be as simple as doing a new blog post, adding a feature to your homepage or including details in your monthly newsletter. You should also be sure to post the best deals on your Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages.
Remember, it doesn’t really matter if your audience snaps up that specific deal or not. Showcasing huge distressed property deals is all about lead generation – just getting those people to pick up the phone. Once you actually talk to these potential clients, that’s when you’ll be able to start the hunt for the property they’ll really go gaga for.
