Brett D | Any tips for cold calling apartment dwellers asking if they're buying a home in the next year? |
I cold call apartments in the evenings seeking anyone thinking about buying a home in the next year. They generally don't mind the call, I'm not trying to sell them a vacuum or life insurance, I'm just asking if they've thought of buying in the next year.
I'm looking for any tips from anyone who might do this or maybe anyone living in an apartment right now, if you received this call how would you like to be approached? |

Don't do it. With the national Do Not Call Registry, you are bound to get in some sort of trouble.
I would suggest mailing flyer's or brochures to the occupants. People don't like to be solicited over the phone, (hence the do not call list). Mailing can be much more effective with potential buyers. Besides, you already have their address. |

If you are in the US, you are violating the do-not-call registry.
As for finding renters, I would go trolling in laundromats. Homeowners almost always have washers and dryers, renters don't. |

I don't have any advice for you on how to approach the people over the phone, but are you able to leave flyers under the doors?
My friend has been in real estate for 5 years and is doing awesome with it. She learned right away how to handle the forclosure aspect of it and currently has 22 listings.
Good Luck & keep up the good work! |

Just make it informal, use there first name like;
Hey dave just calling to survey apartment renters to see if they plan on buying a home next year.
By they way if you are not selling anything just tell your boss that everyone you called had an answer and make it up. |

Personally I think anything you do, mail postcards or call on the phone is nothing more than an intrusion. If they are thinking of buying then they look in papers and finally they call THEIR favorite Real Estate Agent. Otherwise, it is nothing more than being too Pushy. |

Make sure to tell them about all of their options to help them buy a home, some poeple dont realize that they could own a home because they think they dont make enough money or wont have the funds for a down payment or closing costs. Here in NE we have grants for closing costs, you dont have to make a down payment and there are grants called superfunds to get people locked into a low fixed interest rate. They should also know about loan options for people with bad credit or lower income. FHA loans are something to mention. Make sure that people know it can take as little as $500 to get into a new home. There are lots of topics to cover but I think these will help you a lot. |

Cold calling stinks...but I don't have to do it anymore.
An insurance guy I know sent out an interesting piece of mail. First he sent them something introducing himself and telling what he had to offer.
A month later he followed up with another piece of mail that he had crumpled up and then sent. It said " Don't throw me away again, I could save you etc...." |
|
What?
|
Nobody wants you to call them. So stop. |
