If I do another mentor program I will be fine with splitting deals- I think then everyone is equally motivated to help and get the deals done.

Hello Iris,One of the biggest issues I have when training our VA's is letting them know that I don't know how to convert unmotivated sellers to motivated. 

How many letters sent -> how many people called -> how many were interested in showing you their house -> how many you got under contract, etc.Let's say you send out 2000 -> 60 calls -> saw 5 houses -> 1 under contract.So if you're getting a lot of people asking you what your offer is, you're still in that phase where you're having to filter out the motivated ones from the unmotivated ones. 

Offering to give them the full 6% commission is a good way to motivate them, provided you are able to get in touch with them in the first place.

I simply take the full deposit on the date of move-in and pro-rate the remaining month's rent.But yes, hustle to get it looking great (especially since you've just closed on it and you'll be highly motivated to get into it).  

Thanks for the motivation! 

It's incredibly uplifting and inspiring!

I have a motivated seller looking to sell by end of week.

On that note, I would like you to take the time to consider this letter, though also realize one thing -- YOU have to be the most motivated one in this transaction or it'll most likely not work out for any of us.

Hopefully you find the motivation here.
