Lead Source

By
Real Estate Agent with Century21 Fridley Realtors

Recently recovering from some surgery which took me away from my real estate for awhile, I found myself looking at different lead sources.  Some were for buyers leads and some for sellers.  I ran into people who took your first $40. and you never heard another word from them.  I spent money on a website that promised me first position in my location for as long as I was paid up.  Guess what?  I found that another realtor in the area was also #1.  We got out heads together and challenged.  They did make it right with the other realtor and apologized to me saying it was an error. 

I could go on and on about the blind paths I have been down, but make a long story short  --  I am still looking for a decent lead source to help me get back to where I was before.  I realize most  good locations are taken, but maybe someone could give me a push in the right direction.  I would like a pay per lead type of thing.  Can you help?

DON'T DO IT!  DON'T DO IT!  DON'T DO IT. 

Don't use a lead generating company or pay for any leads! I have been around the block with all the Lead Generating Companies and a lot of people here at AR have too!  I have never spoken with any one that didn't drop them after a while (even after a year) because they just don't work - you will spin your wheels and spend more money than a closed transaction - just to find this out.

Stick will blogging, open houses, and networking for leads.  STAY WAY WAY FAR AWAY from Lead Generating Companies.  Just my .02C.
