We Buy Ugly Houses franchise
Hello All,
I recently had friends join the Franchise “we buy ugly houses” in New Jersey and they are killing it. I wanted to see if anybody is part of franchises like this and if it makes sense joining it? The fees which they take are pretty hefty and the only advantage I saw was that they provide leads and partial funding for the project. Does anybody know where to get leads outside of joining this franchise and does anybody have any feedback on this franchise. TIA

If you're just looking for lead sources this doesn't seem like a good fit. There are many ways that work if you're willing to put the time in. I am not a wholesaler but a realtor and do very similar things to drum up business. Most important for you I would think would be cold calling. Get a good dialer system such as Vulcan or RedX and dial as much as you can. Have a good script and know the market before you start calling so you're confident in what you are saying. You can use a texting system such as Batchleads, just make sure you follow guidelines provided. Door knocking or "driving for dollars". Mailers. Signs. Social media advertisements, etc. You got this!
