Don't Trash Your Real Estate Client Leads

Yes, hang on to everyone unless they ask to be left alone.  I've sold properties to people 5 years after I met them...

Pamela, I hadn't thought of credit repair for those dead leads, Thanks for the post!

Pamela:  This all sounds like a great idea, but first you need a reliable loan officer who will put in the time to actually implement a credit repair program with potential buyers.  Good loan officers like that are few and far between.  Great idea, though... thanks for sharing.

Well... there I go.  I just clicked on the link to "Realtors Converting Leads with Credit Repair" group... and there you were... Pamela Brubaker... in person... with a brand new group.  So... I joined... LOL.  Good luck with the group, Pamela.

Great post. I was actually thinking about writing a blog on the very same subject.

I have used a CR repair service for 2 years. Every now and again we get a new buyer from it.

Welcome to AR Pamela, and congratulations on starting a new group.  Does this sound like I know Pamela?

Yes, Indeed I do!  Pam was my REALTOR when I bought my home, and one of her partners in Credit Builders Inc, Shayne Sherman was my mortgage loan officer as well.  I was not part of the credit repair company, I was however, partnered with Pam in my Real Estate Career for a time, until she recently was promoted into Manager of our Prudential One Realty Goshen, Indiana office.  Congrats on the promotion!

Now, the reason for my post, besides bragging that I know and am affiliated with both of them.

As a REALTOR, I have had customers calling about properties I had listed and were not able to qualify because of their credit.  I referred them to Credit Builders Inc. and sometimes as soon as two months later I was able to start showing them homes.  I have a pending right now that is a recent credit repair "graduate".  I already have closed on others and am awaiting graduation on even more!  I am a believer in this program and especially Credit Builders Inc. for several reasons:

1. They have returned to me, the customers I have sent them.  Those clients are attached to ME, and Pam and Shayne's integrity sends them back when they are ready.
2. I receive updates as to the status of their credit repair and I am able to call them and congratulate them on sticking with the plan and doing their part.  This keeps me front and center in their minds, AND it has shown them that the resources I have will enable them to buy a home when they didn't think they could.
3. I have received referrals from the happy graduates.
4. It is easy to become a Preferred Partner of Credit Builders Inc, and I have benefited from happy clients that tell their friends about Credit Builders Inc and they sign up-without a REALTOR, and because I am a Preferred Partner and I am in their area, I get the referral when they are graduated.
5. I advertise in our local Elkhart County, Indiana Homes & Lifestyle Real Estate Magazine that I can help them buy a home even with low credit scores with Credit Repair because I am a Preferred Partner!

I could probably go on and on but I have an appointment in a few minutes.  Again, welcome to Activerain Pam, you will be a big hit!
