Growth Leader- I hit the jackpot today!

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Compass

I hit the Jack Pot today by having a Growth Leader website!

Within the last 24 hours,  Growth leader has provided me with 3 leads.   Two of the leads had only email addresses, but the third lead had a working phone number.   About 15 minutes after this lead was emailed to me,  I called the client and asked her if I could help her with her home search.    She said yes and that she was looking for a home in the Buffalo Grove or Arlington Heights area, and that she would need assistance.  

 I explained to her why it was a wonderful time for a first time buyer to purchase a home.  I explained to her that interest rates were low, house values were the lowest they have been in 5 years, and information regarding the first time home buyer credit.  She never even heard of the credit.  I will definately  send her information about the credit iin a subsequent email.  INicole Lahti, Austin Texas Mortgage (Real Mortgage Partners): wrote the most comprehensive post about the new credit that I have read anywhere.  Everyone will understand the mechanics of the credit the way she worte the post!

This new client needs to buy a home before June 30th.    Ok I can handle that!   

I asked  her then if she knew what she would qualify for in terms of buying a home and she answered no...  I followed up with a an email to Larry Bettag, Cherry Creek Mortgagewith her information. I'm sure by now he has explained to her how much she could spend on a home and that he has already won her over.    Larry has a charming personality, and is passionate about what he does.   

Thank you Growth Leader for this wonderful new client!

Gary,  it doesn't seem like the credit is actually going to stimulate the new home buyers if they don't even know about it.  Just my opinion.  Why not stimulate the people who have to sell a property?  Just my opinion.

Very creative idea for the stimulus on the Seller side Judy. I know they are working to keep people out of foreclosure with the changing of mortgage terms so something novel for the Seller seems in order too.

Judy,
The jackpot is a good place to be!  The lead came to you but you are the one that made the lady a "client".
