I think I'm going to have to start over hereLet me explain my business model to youLet's say you're licensed agent and you were prospecting for listings have taken that approachLet's also say that you're going after expired listings that tried to sell traditionally with an agent and didn't work outI am trying to help that's seller fix the problemHe's already tried with one agent and I have to be differentI explained to the seller has a couple different things we can do one we can sell traditionally like he did before and make sure that the price that's being offered is the perfect price and I analyze that perfect price compared to his old marketing priceIf the market is changed perhaps I can help him sell and make more money traditionally but I'm also going to show him that he can sell on turns versus cash using a lease with option or a wraparound mortgageOnce he sees these three options we can then put together an ad on the MLS selling for cash or termsSee my blog for details :)
