Money Image 72007 You have listings and they just are not selling. Translation: You aren’t making any money. Relief is here!

There are a couple of tools that can be used to find ready and willing buyers for your listings. The first is called Real Buyer Direct. This service is a place where buyers can register the particular type of property they are looking to buy. You go to Real Buyer Direct and put in your parameters and Shazam! you have a list of potential buyers for your property.

The second is called a listserv. This is similar to the program referenced above except you send a broadcast email to people looking for your property type. First you register for the service. Next you pick the groups of buyers who you want to send your message to. There are thousands of listserv’s out there but many of them have only a few registrants. I am about the share with you how you can do one “post” and reach 10’s of 1,000’s of people looking for what you have! How cool is that?!!!

This is great stuff, but as is true in life, “there ain’t no free lunch”. These are just 2 tools of the Top 25 Top Real Estate Cyber Tools that are available at NO CHARGE to Real Estate Cyber Society members. Yes, you must join the Society. That cost is about $13.00 per month, paid as an annual fee. Let’s see…$13.00 to bring buyers to your door…is that a fair trade? With commissions on just 1 closed deal well above $10,000 in most cases, that’s a great trade!
