You might want to have them draft a letter demanding specific performance.

If you used a FAR-BAR AS-IS contract there is a loser pays provision in the contract... make sure that is highlighted in your next contact with the seller, their agent, and the agent's broker.

That should help expedite solving the problem you have.

I'm curious how much on an average would you suggest a full time agent should invest in marketing? What kind of marketing: social media, local papers, networking meetings? Expectation is to make 100k. And what challenges can I expect along the way?

Thank you!

The right answer is to test small and scale with success...

Invest what you can to start... it might be 200 postcard stamps for cards to the 200 houses in a subdivision with owners that have lived 10+ years in a subdivsion with high turnover. It might be $100 for facebook ads.

Whatever works... and generates commission income... take 10% of that new revenue and invest more into what works.

Repeat.

Lead propeller has been very solid to work with over the last few years... very responsive in the support section.

You can do a great deal of customizing with the site... and it really complements the other marketing you would do in order to build a brand overtime.

I am a new real estate agent practicing for 8 months and having a very difficult time getting leads and making deals. I've reached out to my sphere of influence, done direct mailings and trying to do cold calls. My difficutly with cold calls for expireds and FSBOs is getting owner's phone numbers. I haven't made any deals so I don't really have the financial means to pay for expensive phone number lookup sites. right now I feel that not having access to phone numbers is holding me back in my performance. Any suggestions?

FSBOs are the easiest numbers to get... set up an alert on zillow... scan Craig's List about once a week. If you do those two things that will get numbers to call.

If they are buying, closing, and reselling... really not an issue.

If they are contracting, don't have capacity to close, and add no value (short sale negotiation, rezoning, due diligence etc.) they could be flirting with trouble.
