Agent looking to start direct to seller for motivated sellers

[Gregory Schwartz]

I’m an investor agent in Bryan-College Station Texas, and I want to start sourcing off-market deals to provide exclusive opportunities for my top investor clients. Sellers would have three options: sell to my clients, sell to me, or list on the market. I’m NOT planning to wholesale—just creating more deal flow for my agent business.

Back in 2020, I sent 500 postcards/month via DealMachine for about a year and a half this resulted in 2 off-market deals that I purchased. Now, with a $1,000–$2,000/month budget, I want to restart but am open to different marketing strategies.

• What’s working best for you at this budget?
• Should I stick with mailers or explore cold calling, PPC, SMS, etc.?
• What lists have been most effective for motivated sellers?
• Any lessons learned from your experience?

I’d love to hear your insights—thanks in advance!

@Gregory Schwartz I share in this desire and I also have deal machine.  I don't quite have that budget behind it but would be curious how you are using it?  are you doing the driving for dollars or more of a list pull?  been thinking about going old school lately and just driving areas of interest for distress.
