George Dean I find it surprising how many on here say they tried Adwords "and it didn't work" which is like saying they hired a contractor and hammers don't work.

Have you ever set up a Google AdWords account?  

You can target Adwords (Google's search advertising platform) for terms buyers are searching for, about your area, like "homes for sale in Austin" but geographically exclude the Austin area. 

You can find out what these terms are for your area by using the Google Keyword tool https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2999770.

You cannot beat that guy or his real estate agent.You must market for motivated sellers and attract unlisted properties where the owner sees the benefit of taking a cash offer rather than putting their house on the market, which could require them to make costly repairs with $ they don't have.I like 3 methods for reaching the off-market, motivated seller:1) Direct mail, to people WITH EQUITY, especially absentee owners2) AdWords (Google Search marketing)3) Outdoor (billboards, bandit signs, bus signage, etc. etc.)Click on my FACE in this post and watch the video in my user profile here on BP - it's called "The Search for Motivated Sellers".  ;-)  This is THE #1 CHALLENGE for all of us.  

The idea would be to provide a website (for those that don't have one yet) and setup adwords, facebook, craiglist, etc accounts to get leads funneled to the client's website.  

@Steven BellI'm looking for an expert in those areas that will handle my FB ads / SEO / AdWords in exchange for 10% of all net profits from deals received from online source?  

Adwords, TV, Radio, Direct Mail?

Especially the big companies like adwords nerds (yuk) and the like?

You can purchase lists with different motivations like absentee owners, 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, evictions, probate, divorce, etc. and mail or cold call.Other methods are driving for dollars, door knocking, wholesalers, craigslist, Realtors, FSBO sites, expired listings, put out bandit signs, billboards, newspapers, other offline publications.You can use pay per click/adwords, motivated seller website with SEO, facebook, Linkedin, Youtube, and other forms of online and social media marketing.If you have a big budget you can do radio, TV and billboards.
