Working with sellers of listings that didn’t sell can be a goldmine; it can strap rocket boosters to your lead generation machine and end the feast and famine cycle forever once you get good at it. Along with listings come buyer leads, so concentrate on listings and the buyers will come. Grizzled veterans like to say, “You have to list to last!”, and they are correct. Remember: Listing (and selling) just one Expired home per month is worth a minimum of $115,000 to you based on a $400,000 average sale price, a normal commission paying 20% to your broker, etc. $9600 net x 12 = $115,200. The following are not all of the secrets but are some of the top secrets you may be surprised by when prospecting Expired Listings: 1 There are more expired listings than you think. You may not pay attention to the Expired Listings unless you watch your MLS ‘HotSheet’, or execute specific searches yourself. Don’t just look in your favorite area code, zip code, or price range. Start your search broad and then narrow in. You’ll be surprised by how many Expired listings there actually are. Look every day, not just now and then! 2 If YOU can’t find a phone number to contact that owner, then no one else can either. Be the one who knocks on their door and offers to not just get it back on the market, but get it sold this time. EXPIRED LISTING LEADS: This is the only expired listing lead service recommended by Tim and Julie Harris. You will now have instant access to the newest EXPIRED listings, the seller's contact info, and more. Expired Listings are perhaps the best opportunity in this real estate market.
