Ok I am going to take a stab at this subject, please be gentle. Most of last week I spent hours on the phone trying to schedule appointments at the local realtors offices in which hire new realtors. For example C21 and Keller Williams. As time went on, call after call, my head was pounding and throbbing. For a majority of the calls, I couldn't get past the receptionist. My objective here was to secure new realtor realations by offering them 1st time home buyer training as well as 100% n/o/o invester training. I even offered to bring freebies such as lunch, a coupon for a free post for the signs I know they will eventualy need to hang for their first listing, even to pay for and handle replenishing and monitoring of their flyers, etc. Perhaps my outlook on what the results of my calls would generate was a bit naive. I thought this would be something companies like C21 and Keller Williams would feel beneficial. I was wrong. Apparently information on these programs along with free lunches has saturated these companies so much, no one is interested or hungry. This brings me to writing this blog and to my knee's as I ask you realtors; What really would it take for you to consider giving another loan officer a chance to work with you and your clients? Please, if you would, provide some useful tips for me and others like me so that I may use this valuable information in my pursuit of building new realtor relationships.
Your comments and imput would be very appreciated, again please be gentle
