Home Buyers Seminars

By
Mortgage and Lending with Peoples Home Equity, Inc.

Have you ever done a Home Buyers Seminar and not had a good turnout or response?  Do you know the reason why?  Perhaps it was the time of year that you did the seminar...

The majority of apartment leases expire in the spring or in the fall (68%).  This means this is the best time of the year to do a Home Buyers Seminar.  February through May can produce excellent leads if you market your seminars to apartment complexes, and provide the right information.

I'd like to try one as well - but now I am so busy I am trying to find the time. But now, with so many REO's on the market and rates dropping even more it might be the time.

Busy is good Kevin. I haven't done one before but had thought about it. Do you have third parties come in and help sponsor costs?

I worked with some agents in this area for awhile on some. They can be hit-or-miss. I finally quit doing them as there were too many times that there was no response.  8-}

That is what I was thinking - a lender, a title company, maybe a home inspector.

Yeah, it's great to get a title company come in and help out.  Home Inspectors are good, too.

I just did one last week, we now have 3 qualified buyers  who should be under contract very soon.   We are planning on doing one per month.

I've done a lot of them, but the results were not worth the time and effort.

Clint, looks like I need to get planning. I am not sure that I realized this, but it sure does make sense. Thanks for sharing your little insider secret. We had been planning on getting them started on a monthly basis, looks like now is the perfect time.
