Marjor wholesale website has me feeling discouraged

[Jade Davis]

I was reading the "28 ways to build a buyers list" thread and decided to try googling "We Buy Houses Syracuse, NY"... stupid that I haven't already checked! There's a company that serves that main cities in the state and it seems pretty large and professional. I feel so discouraged, my husband and I feel really passionate about beginning REI in wholesaling but is there ANY chance that we could compete with a company like that? Any successful RE wholesalers here who live in a city that has a major company that does wholesaling? TIA

I honestly love some healthy competition. The thing with a large company is a good majority of home owners would rather work with an individual. 

"Hi my name is John I am the acquisitions manager at ________. Your house needs work and you can't sell it without me. I'll give you ______. "

"Hello my name is Jade. My husband and I help folks sell homes when conventional means don't make sense. With us you don't have to worry about open houses, loans falling through, or low ball offers. From our experience your home needs roughly _____ thousand dollars in repairs. The big guys would probably give you _______. Knowing that what do you think is a fair price?"

Which guy would you rather deal with? The guy who drove up in a Mercedes and walked through your flower bed or your "next door neighbors". 

Proof: Using the approach I outlined in option #2 we had a client tell us she would take 11k less than what our max offer would have been. She still calls us thanking us for how quickly we moved her house and the fact that we paid cash.
