I am a 25 year Real Estate agent in SoCal (mostly residential however venturing more into commercial; and getting back into investing in other states as well, which will be my next post) I have tried quite a few lead services and while some may do better in other areas of the country , most seem to a flop in this area, of those tried HouseJet, Reaology, USHud and Realty Bargains( Realty Bargains was the best however they kept sending me mostly investors who's matrix would not pencil in the areas I serve)  I am doing my best to figure out social marketing, my views/impressions are good however that has not turned into transactions as of yet; So I am on the hunt for a 3rd party lead co with quality Seller leads.

No 401s, 403s or social insecurity contributions.  

@James Collins Welcome to the BP forum for Canadians.  

@James LauerDo all your bookings direct with no listings on Social Media platforms .

Just a few ideas...make connections here at BP, go to local investor meetups, use social media like LinkedIN to make new contacts.

And realistically, if you are advertising on something like social media, you will likely only get about 5-10% of your total leads being qualified.  

The neighborhoods were very social, neighbors doing crawfish boils in their front yard for anyone who was hungry, musicians and artists, second line parades could start up any time.

@Bunmi JooRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

We have all leases but social is not included so we will need their applications.

During this 30-day period, agents should be able to: set goals for themselves; set up their MLS; add their sphere/ALL of their friends, family, acquaintences to a database; begin calling/contacting everyone in their database; begin generating leads from other sources like cold calling, expireds, fsbos, social media, open houses, etc; begin tracking KPIs; create or refine online profiles; create and post social media content; attend role play sessions to work on lead generation/conversion skills & more.
