I need help with lead generation...

Cade Davis
Posted

I have been in real estate for 2 months now, and I am struggling to find motivated sellers that haven't sold already lol. I am cold calling, and now starting to send text blasts out. I have kind of been all over the place due to mainly pulling vacant leads, but I feel I should I dive deep into one city pulling all the different types of leads, D4D's and just go all in. Thoughts? Does anyone have any tactical, strategic advice?

Hey Cade,

A lot of the bigger companies will be outspending you on cold calling and texts. With their increased coverage and leverage it's going to be hard for you to compete.

If it's just you the biggest impact you're going to have is going to be face-to-face.

Consider getting a list of owner-occupied properties with long-term owners with good equity built up in their houses. Drive the list and see if you can find distressed properties that might be attractive to an investor and target that house.

You can do the reverse of this as well where you start by driving around looking for houses, note the addresses of ones that need work and look up the owners and try to get in touch.

If you are an agent or working with and agent you can get a list of expired listings and go after those, know that those owners will be getting hounded by other brokers/wholesalers as well.

Hope this helps!

Best of luck and keep at it!
