Post: Do Real Estate Agents work Remote?

Chris, I work full time remote and specialize in land. I have multiple listings across different parts of Florida and I don't even live in FL.

A couple of caveats though:

*I've been doing this for 5+ years. Have a big database, sellers who look up my brand/appeal.

*I know the markets really well even better than some local agents.

*Have a USP right of the bat to convert leads

*Have a huge/constant flow of leads from investors, sellers, partners, etc.

If I was doing it for houses, I'd do the same thing, just work on the leads. I would then partner with someone local to take on the listing. It would lead to less conversions, just keep that in mind.

I deal in multiple states, and it's a nationwide thing tbh.

Hey Justin, this is up my alley, I buy/sell land in Florida and throughout the U.S. I am currently expanding to doing subdivides, land splits, and doing a few infill lot sales. My main focuses has been just flipping them; however, I'd luv to connect with a developer or two to really take it to next level. Send me a PM, sorry to say not in Florida anymore, but know the market really well!

nice man! What kind of marketing do you do to acquire the land contracts? Are you targeting off market land or on market? would love to hear more about your business

All of the above!

@Sam Epperson I am actually licensed in FL. So here is what I do:

1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)

2 - Go source that criteria using data provider

3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc

4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in. I actually close on most of my land deals; however, I do represent some local flippers in the areas so the strategy doesn't shift. I then do following:

5. Market > Mail > Lead > Analyze > Offer > Acquire > Sell > Rince/Repeat.

6. Bonus, since you are licensed a lot of folks don't want to sell at a discount. You could offer listing service for them. Remember to disclose, disclose, and disclose!

I personally don't like wordpress sites since they attract a lot of spam. That being said, they do the best in SEO. If you get a carrot site and hire someone from Fiverr you should get ranked pretty quickly. Just make sure it's something local to get better rankings. I do.think that nowadays whoever you hire as an SEO consultant needs to know how to get your ranked for AI as well since the search is giving it priority ranking.

@Racheli Ta yes, one could do SMS, cold calling, etc. As of right now, a lot of land investors are moving to lower cost marketing like cold calling instead of mailers.

You could try getting a personal loan, they are a bit more flex with income and could give you some starting room. Start with a local credit union and see what they say?
