@Dev HornWhen I wrote a chapter on Classified Advertising in my first publication I found 7 classified ads throughout the country which didn't include a telephone number to call.I too am a huge proponent of answering the telephone however with that said I also know that a single person cant and wont answer them all.

So you may not have to buy it...The only thing I would add is grab a various Realtor Magazines and News Paper Classifieds.

Their is a reason the IRS classifies flippetrs as dealers.

IRS classifies real estate dealerships in a different way.

Advertising, auctions, Bandit Signs, Classified Ads, Direct Mails, Family Members referrals can be added to your list of finding leads.

However, this DR marketer said they started with a tiny little classified ad and grew slowly from there as they tested and tweaked their message.

Manx thanx for your replies fellas,However, I am based in overinflated Bermuda http://www.royalgazette.com/rg/Classified/ads.jsp?

Assuming budget isnt an issue1) Full Page Color Newspaper ads in Sunday's newpaper front page of the Classified section...2) 30 minute Infomercials ran on single digit channels at 6:30pm Drive time.3) 60 second TV commercials at 730am news drive time most popular network station4) Per 250k people 12 Rotating billboards, rotated ever 45 days in the neighborhoods you buy in.5) Direct mail 16 letters per prospect to your prospect base...How about the most expensive methods of advertising...

Here we go again.We need to stop classifying broker/agents as REALTORS.Not every broker/agent is a REALTOR.That doesn't mean they are less competent just that they got tired of paying bloated fees to the old NAR.The real estate commissions for each state give a rat's #ss about the NAR.All they care about is license laws and protecting the interests of the public.REALTOR designation is subscribing to their CODE OF ETHICS.Doesn't mean you have no ethics if you are a broker or agent an not a REALTOR.Theoretically you could also argue banks could lose their shirts not having qualified brokers on the ground level handling their assets.What banks pay is cheap in commissions compared to the infrastructure that would be needed to do everything in house.Whether that buyer buys direct with the listing broker or uses a buyers broker the cost is the same BECAUSE the bank allocates for the total commission payout at the time the asset manager assigns the listing to the broker/agent.It will just be xx percent on the HUD to 1 brokerage or split between the buyers broker and the sellers broker.I am talking about the REO side in general and not short sales,etc.

Your hometown newspaper classified section - Look in the real estate wanted, real estate services and homes for sale sections.
