Today’s Buyers Want:

  • A deal
  • Access to Pre-Listed Homes
  • A knowledgable professional
  • Fast Response (5 minutes)
  • Reliable Follow-Up

There are 32,105 Foreclosure homes in the Chicago area – only 57% of them are listed in the MLS.  Here are some great tips that Bob shared on how to leverage foreclosures and BPOs to generate leads and grow your business:

Tip #1 – Leverage Facebook

Build this Facebook ad – 
Get Your FREE Chicago Foreclosure List

-Direct that ad to a landing page on Facebook that does lead capture.  You get their contact information and a new Facebook Fan!

Tip #2 – Look Professional, Provide Fast Response, and Give Reliable Follow-Up

Create a digital REO Notebook with Evernote.  When you take a client out to show them properties, give them them the iPad.  Let them take notes on the properties as you show them, then email them a link to your Evernote presentation.

Tip #3 – Offer the deal!

Hold Open Houses for Foreclosures – (Consumers want this and it will drive leads to you!)

** Bob did an A/B test.  He offered a paper sign in sheet at one open house and offered Open Home Pro (FREE APP) – at another.  Open Home Pro blew the paper sign in sheet away for getting people to sign up.  As soon as your open house ends, Open Home Pro will immediately email everyone who signed in the information from the home along with your contact details.
