Advertising Directly on the HUD website ?????

OOOHHH be careful!  I have had so many companies call and try to sell me leads, its ridiculous!  They start by telling you that they are in need of an agent in your area.....as if they are a BUYER!  Once you get into the nitty gritty with them, after spending much too much time on the phone with these folks, only THEN, when you pull it out of them,  do you find out that they are actually trying to SELL YOU LEADS for "your area."  Be wary and remember..........on the other end of the phone with them you become a buyer of their leads........buyer BEWARE!

I would be skeptical... just another one of them companies trying to get your limited advertising dollars. If all these companies had as many real buyers as they lead you to believe there would be no lull in the market!

Angela,

Check them out versus the real HUD.

There is a company that sells buyer leads for HUD homes that is not affiliated with HUD in any way.

Unless something changed in the last couple of weeks, HUD does not sell leads or ads on it's website.

Thanks for the warning.

Angela You will get all the want to be investors that still think ythey can buy a house for $50,000.  The types of Buyers are a LOT harder to work with!  Save your money and buy yourself a Google adwords or other PPC campaign.  Offer something like a step by step guide on buying Foreclosures of a free report on The Secrets of Short Sales..something to capture their leads.

My only suggestion to anyone,

talk to someone who has tried it, or at least research it a little bit if you want. I come on AR and see negative comments from people who are posting their opinions having never researched nor tried it. Then I come into work and talk with clients all day who are closing a couple deals a month. It really baffles me sometimes, how people who haven't even looked into something can have their opinion considered credible. If someone doesn't want to look into it, they just say no and we will readily add them to a do not call list. Others try it and are very successful. Some try it, and are not very successful. My point, why not base your opinion on an informed source or personal research? Or go with the mob, do not ask questions, accept everything you read as a solid truth. It's just business and the fact of the matter is, the company has been running for 9 years and we always have somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 agents and lenders signed on with us monthly. People close deals and thats why they remain online. I guess it boils down to who is a more credible source. Someone who works with us and has real world experience. Or someone who is just tired of cold calls and cranky with businesses that make cold calls. A well informed decision is the best kind.
