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.
