Hi there, new Realtor looking to curate a direct mail campaign. This would be specifically targeting select apartment buildings in my local city.
Anyone have success stories, tips, and/or advice on how to best use this methodology?
If you've also targeted condos/apts/highrises etc, how'd that go for you?
Also would love to hear about that 'one thing' you changed/added to DMM for the better!
USE THIS TO DUMP YOUR DMM KNOWLEDGE! A chain for the masses ;)

I am also new and about to start my first marketing campaign.I will share what I have been taught,if I may.First things first,find an interesting piece of information that everyone in that target zone should know and you are the town crier coming to knock on their doors to share it with them.Look up recently sold properties that sold quickly and above asking price ( people like hearing about big profit!!).If your brokerage sold it you can say "Our company just sold your neighbors house for more money than they ever dreamed!" If another brokerage sold it, say "Your neighborhood is selling faster than we can keep up!!" "Don't delay,call me today!!". I would introduce myself to the neighborhood by door knocking there everyday until everyone has met you at least once.Offer to do open houses for any agent with a current listing in that neighborhood so you can invite the neighbors to attend.
Hi there, regarding when another brokerage has sold the listing in reference -- to what extent can you leverage that fact? Can my postcard look something like a listed bullet point :
> I'm sure you've heard the market is HOT right now!
> Fact: Unit #72 just sold for 100% asking price!
> Would you consider listing your home for the right price?
> Year to date, we've closed our homes in an average of 10 days.

Quick background: 21 years old and Connecticut based. I have secured over $20k in just over a year in anticipation of what will be me quitting my full-time job in Market Research and pursuing Real Estate full time, January 2021. I either take the leap and fly or take the leap and fall -- but I am taking the leap.
Before I get into my question, I want to preface by noting that these savings include coverage of my expenses for 6+ months and enough to pay myself $2k a month in that timeframe. Noted because I cannot simply sink this savings into a deal -- it's all I have.
Question: While the long term goal is to invest, I want to know how you would secure your feet in the field as a realtor had you known what you do now in life -- in addition to assuming you too had $20k and 24 hours a day to make sh*t happen when you started.
I have two goals for 2021:
1. Buy a multi-family home within the first quarter
2. Build my business and see to no less than 10 deal the first year (avg $250k) -- conservative --
Let's connect! Especially if you're local!
Cheers,
Nate.
