There Is No Method That Can Target Motivated Sellers! None!

If targeting the foreclosure, absentee owners, inheritance, divorce, or probate lists truly gets you motivated sellers, why then does it take you 3000+ mailers, texts, or cold calls to finally snag ONE lousy deal! You are NOT targeting motivated sellers. Wouldn’t you agree that it wouldn’t take you 3000 tries to get a contract signed if you were truly dealing with motivated sellers right? No list can get you motivated sellers. It is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!




Then why are you doing this? Well because your favorite YouTube influencer said so, and all the people on the biggerpockets podcast agree, and everyone else is doing this. They all said that this is how motivated sellers are found, right?



Let me put this into perspective for you…

Imagine standing in front of 1000 people that haven't eaten in 41 days, while holding up a juicy BLT chicken and tuna sandwich dripping in bacon fat, and say: “Who wants one?”.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How many of these starving people do you think will raise their hand?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yup, Correct! ALL of them. 1000 people. 100% conversion rate.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WHY!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well, because I approached the RIGHT audience, with the RIGHT Message, that’s why. You get a 100% conversion rate.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

See, if you need to send 3000 mailers to get ONE contract signed, or if you have to make 300, 600, 1800 phone calls to get one deal, you are OBVIOUSLY NOT reaching motivated sellers!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To explain why and how this is (the way a NASA scientist would, through data), you need to consider the following.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My motivated sellers website ranks #1 on Google (and therefore) generating 100 to 200 leads every month, organically, no ads, free, where I don’t need to lift a finger for these highly motivated seller leads. Now, here is a rough run-down of the type of motivated seller leads I got this last month from my website: 1 absentee owner, 2 divorces, 1 job loss, and 1 death in the family. The rest of my leads (97% of my leads) HAD NO ISSUES!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This means that actually motivated sellers, are NOT people in foreclosure, experience a job loss, or have tax liens, because those are NOT the people that fill in my forms on my organically #1 ranking website. Your opinion on this does not matter! Data matters!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you are spending money on marketing trying to reach people in foreclosure, job loss, probates or whatever, you are throwing money away! You are targeting the WRONG audience. Those are NOT the people that want to sell fast for cash! Those are NOT motivated sellers.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Motivated sellers are simply random people that don't want to deal with the uncertainties of selling the traditional way, or cleaning, or fixing anything, and are willing to accept a lower offer for that convenience. That is why no list can bring you motivated sellers. The power of DATA!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Everyone hates the Gurus, and everyone is angry at them because they scam and trick you into buying their products. But whose fault is that? Yours. You buy products based on how clever or funny their ad is, or how many followers they have instead of looking at what matters… their student’s results! Stop thinking that popularity, celebrity status, number of followers, or how funny, entertaining, clever, effects laden or cool an ad is,, that this somehow translates to how effective their system is. Are their students successful too, yes or no?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Success in this space is measured by your ability to find motivated sellers. The bad news is that there is no such thing as a system that can target motivated sellers. Does.NOT.exist. No matter what ANY guru says! I have proven this already. The ONLY way to find motivated sellers is by THEM find YOU!

You all really need to use your own logic common sense and intelligence if you have any chance to making it in this space. You CAN NOT FOLLOW SHEEP!!!

All I said here is not opinion.. this is fact backed up by solid actual data!

Hope this guides you on the right path and stop swallowing what all the gurus and youtube influencers tell you!

Good luck!
