INVESTIGATE 6 NEW LEAD SOURCES FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE BUSINESS LEON MCKENZIE

Possible New Leads Sources for Your Real Estate Business

1. Your Local Attorneys
Whenever any major legal life changes occur, people tend to consult attorneys for help. We are talking about major issues such as bankruptcy, divorce, death and the like. And while these life changes may not be good for the clients of the attorneys, they can be very good news for your business.
Think about it: when someone declares bankruptcy for example, that person will need to get rid of some properties in order to comply with the legal conditions that arise from being in such a difficult situation. Some of those conditions may require one to sell a home in order for the creditors to be paid.
It’ s therefore in your best interest to take the time to establish a connection with the attorneys in your locale. Let them know what you do for a living, and then make it clear that you are available to do business with them and their clients. If you establish a good rapport with your local attorneys, you will become the go­to person when they need to help their clients get rid of their properties.
2. Home Cleaning Companies
As a realtor or real estate investor, attorneys who handle major life issues for their clients can provide a steady source of leads for your business. Your business presents attorneys with the opportunity to further help their clients to sort out their financial problems in the easiest way possible.
Some people hire home cleaning companies simply because they are not in the mood to clean their homes. But do you know who else likes to hire professional cleaners?
Sellers, that’ s who!
When people are set to put up their homes on the market, they are more likely to hire professional home cleaning companies. Professionals are in a better position to clean the homes properly.
Once a home is put up for sale, then the chance for you to sell that home on behalf of a client as the lead realtor, is gone. If you are a real estate investor, then you need to be prepared for the competition from other potential buyers who may also be interested in the property.
