21 Steps To Become a Top Real Estate Bird Dog (Part 1)
Real Estate bird dogging, like any other business requires a good business plan. Every day I get emails from students across the nation wanting some insight on how to get started as a real estate bird dog. He are the 7 of the 21 steps.
1. Learn you market- Identify the areas of your market with high turnover, also look for transition areas that have not seen a lot of appreciation yet, but do have the potential to do so.
2. Use Real Estate Bird Dog Bandit signs- Locate the areas in your market that have a high amount of traffic and place your real estate bird dog bandit signs there.
3. Get a toll free number-Many of the people who are in need of selling their home do not even have the money for a phone, so having a toll free number will enable them to call you from a pay phone.
4. Do not rely exclusively on the web for your real estate bird dog business- Many people who are in the process of losing their home will not have access to the internet. If they cannot even make their house payments, they probably do not have access to the internet.
5. Learn how to properly inspect a home-When you call investors about properties that you have located, you need to be able to let them know what repairs the home will need to be brought up to par.
6. Have a goals program- Having a goals program will allow you to know exactly where you want your real estate bird dog business to go. Watch for my articles on designing a goals program for real estate bird dogging.
7. Learn to Network. Networking with realtors, buyers, sellers, and bankers will be essential for making your real estate bird dog business grow. The people that you network with will be the life blood of your business.
