You would go chasing REO owned homes as individual investor asking asset managers to sell one to you, but at the same time banks were selling them in batches of tens of thousands per transaction, to  investors who put money together and formed companies that had direct contact with the banks that foreclosed on those homes. 

Batch is worse, Sherpa is fairly comparable.

Hey @Austin Bright, We use batch leads for our SMS campaigns, which has been working for us. 

I take those lists and import them to Batch Dialer or Need To Skip and cold call.

If you divide the cost over say 3 years (I've been in over 3 years), it's probably close to the cost of monthly subscriptions to CRMs, batch dialers, skip tracing services, etc.It's another tool in your toolbelt that doesn't have a renewal cost!!

Pretty sure Launch, Sherpa, and Batch are the only reliable and legal ones nowadays.

to help track leads, notes  re conversations with sellers, generate reminders every NNN (30 days) that you need to re connect a batch of leads.   

Keep in mind, you will be adding a new batch every month.

If you're earning, they might show they care a little, but they're more focused on the next batch of agents to recruit.Mom & pop experience: the broker barely answered my calls but when she did, I had already found the answer myself OR she was able to share something I couldn't find on my own - experience.This helped me become very resourceful as it forced me to figure things out in case she couldn't get back to me in a timely manner.Big box experience: I went to KW and found the best 'community' feel/vibe you could ask for in the business.

I am also making a point of batching all of my misc admin duties with the tracker running.
