ATTN: Seasoned RE Agents! Scenario Question!

Mike Hoherchak
  • Bethlehem, PA
Posted

Hi all! Sorry for the clickbaity title. I'm a marketer at heart but more importantly, I'm super curious about your approach and what you would do in this scenario and may help other new agents, like myself.

Scenario:

Imagine you got kidnapped and blindfolded. You woke up in a brand new part of the U.S. that you are NOT familiar with whatsoever. You lost everything! All your money including any credit cards or lines of credit, your properties, your business networks, connections, and unable to contact any of your friends or family for help. The ONLY way to get it all back is to sell ONE property within 45 days!

The only resources you are able to start with is 

1. Your R/E license for that particular state 

2. All of your accumulated knowledge from years of experience

3. A vehicle

4. Cell phone

5. Laptop with internet

6. A safe place to sleep. 

The ONLY money available is for supporting these specific resources plus food so basic necessities are taken care of.

Even though, there are no guarantees, what would you do to close on a property within 45 days in this new location with only these resources available to you? What are the most important actions that would move the needle the most for you? In this scenario, can you describe one or two actions you would take that would make all other tasks easier or not needed?
