Different Ways To Get Properties Sold As A Wholesaler

[Marvin McTaw]

I started writing a response to someone who I thought was essentially asking, "How can I sell a house?" but in reality he was looking to get inventory. Instead of letting that post go to waste, I decided to paste my ways I've marketed properties for sale before. 

Can you let me know if there's anything I'm missing or that you think should be added? What has worked best for you?

• Buyer's List: I typically email and text message my buyer's list about the properties I have available. I also make sure to give a call to people that I think the property is ideal for (based on their buying criteria).
• Co-wholesalers: I will work with other wholesalers to get my properties sold. They are generally
• Postlets: I use Postlets to market my properties online. The great part about postlets is that it syndicates the property to a number of other websites including Zillow and Trulia
• MyHouseDeals: I usually post my properties on MyHouseDeals.com too. It's free to post but you should be aware only their premium members can see the property for the first two weeks and then they open it up to everyone. There's another competitor called o
• Bandit Signs: I place handwritten signs at and around the properties I am looking to sell. Great source of calls. I actually found did my first few deals off of call ins from bandit signs
• Craigslist, Backpage, Ebay Classifieds: I post FSBO on these sites. The best people typically post up to three or four times a day every day. You
• Social Media Marketing: I've gotten buyer leads from doing Facebook promoted posts for properties. To be frank, this is usually for "Pretty Houses" that I am lease optioning or selling via seller financing. You can also market the property on Twitter using certain hashtags however I have no idea how effective that might be for you. Same for Google+.
• Cash Buyer Research: you can ask an agent to look for all the properties that were recently bought around your subject property for cash. You can then either contact the agents or look up the buyers and try to contact them about your property.
• Listing on MLS: if you have you an agent you work with, you could also do a contingent listing where you will list the property on the MLS but the agent only makes money if they sell it (as opposed to you). There are also some agencies like New Western Acquisitions you can work with but I haven't worked with them so can't really comment one way or another.

I'll be honest and tell you this: my team doesn't do everything every time to sell my properties (even though I should). The minimum I do is send to my targeted buyers and post on Postlets (for the syndication effect). Usually that's enough to get the property sold. If anyone is looking for some local help in Atlanta selling their properties I'm happy to help!
