Help! Need person to do followup on inbound leads - Montgomery

[Steve Driscoll]

I buy single family homes and sell them with my own seller financing program. Local homes in the Montgomery and Birmingham areas are currently my market. I do plan to expand throughout the state. My Average Buyer CAN NOT qualify with a bank to purchase a home. This is not a tough sale.

I am looking for someone that would be interested in following up leads I have on these homes using our CRM system. This is a position for an independent contractor and it pays commission once a deal is closed. Showing the home personally is your choice.

Currently, I do not list my homes with realtors. Although that may be changing, I would rather have a contractor make these contacts. I have plenty of leads. Just need local a local person to do followup.

Are you Hungry? Aggressive? Have strong telephone and selling skills? Can detail what efforts you make with contacts into a CRM? If you are interested, please contact me. Thanks.

As I understand it, the comment "It's legal to have a person followup on leads" about property in Alabama is only true when that person is an active Alabama RE licensee under a licensed broker at a licensed office. (Not one but three licenses are required for compliance in most cases.)

Showing property owned by another or taking any action to "follow up on leads" beyond taking messages is licensee activity in Alabama.  The question "Can a non-licensed person return calls from email leads?" is a routine exam question here.  The answer is No.  

The Alabama Real Estate Commission (AREC) is always happy to answer questions in advance about whether a proposed course of action complies with Alabama RE license law.  Conversely, AREC is VERY strict about enforcing the law when the actions are discovered after-the-fact and do not comply.  Rather than rely upon assertions on BP, I recommend that anyone interested in this opportunity call AREC to confirm that this work can be done without a license.  Violating license law before obtaining a license can disqualify a person from later getting one.  Alabama is a buyer-beware state for RE transactions, but that does not make it a "proceed until apprehended" state for RE brokerage.

I am an AL RE licensee.
