Buying a better list

Ron Carlson
  • Bedford, TX
Posted

I am looking for a better list service. I have gone through a ton of list service companies. For a while I was using a company out of California that handled all my marketing. About 1 time every 90 days we would conference call with a guy named Jessie. His list were great!

However, the company was very secretive in Jessie's contact info. I never got to know the name of his company nor his phone number, email or anything. Not that I am a fan of going around people, but his list were so great! I am no longer using that marketing company and have yet to find a list with the same quality.

When I was using Jessie's list, I was able to get out of state owners and an estimated Loan to Value, along with an estimated balance left on the house. This information gave me the inside scoop on value with out doing a whole lot of research. It allowed me to feel out the sellers situation on the initial phone call,

Here is another challenge. He was always able to provide me a fresh list. All the companies that I have used since, are only able to give me a list of about 25,000 names and address before it repeats itself. Well I drop 8,000 to 12,000 address a month. With being limited to 25,000 address this means I am hitting a lot of these address every other month. I would like it better if I could hit every address about 2-3 times a year instead of 6 times a year. People call us all the time and say stop sending us letters.

So here is the question. What company can I use that has the LTV and the estimated balance as part of the list?

Also, what company can I buy around $100,000 address and names from that will not repeat themselves. This has to be possible. I live in Dallas Fort Worth and we are buying house in 4 counties Almost 3 million people live in these counties. I would only imagine that at least $100,000 meet my buying criteria. Any advise would be appreciated. Cheers!
