The process is a long one after foreclosure for banks. The banks take weeks after foreclosure to get their paperwork together, do evictions and minor clean up and make the assignments to the real estate brokers who they have hired to handle their properties. But the time of clean up and eviction is not the problem, it is how to round up buyers so that these properties sell almost immediately as they enter the market. I believe my company has solved the problem of rounding up buyers before the home enters the market. As soon as we get the assignment for the home, we start the process of rounding up buyers. We use video, photos and massive email lists to contact our investor clients. We send them to the over 10,000 buyers and investors that we aggressively mail to. I use my radio show to solicit buyers who want to be notified of homes before they come on the market and round up hundreds of buyers every week from that avenue alone. Usually we have many buyers lined up before the home hits the market with a list price in the multiple listing service.
Most Listing Agents Add Only One Photo
Most banks are thinking that using the multiple listing service is the most aggressive way of marketing. And, because they believe that all agents are the same when it comes to marketing, they don’t require much of the listing agents. As a result, many of the bank owned listings in the MLS have one photo or sometimes no photo.
Getting Buyers Serious Before They Visit the Home With Photos
Even for buyers of a 100K home, they like to see pictures and it helps the buyer make an emotional connection. Investors and the individual buyer now searches the internet to find homes that they can get serious about buying. It is very important to give them enough information to make a decision.
Video Adds Details that Photos Can’t
Taking video has expanded on the process for buyers when they are searching the internet. If you can show the buyer the home in detail by exposing the floorplan that photos can not, then the buyer can make a more qualified opinion on what they need to look for when they visit the home to avoid overwhelm and make the decision process of a yes or no quicker. Video on the internet is the newest, latest and greatest process of delivering the goods.
Having a List to Market To is An Important Tool In Creating Action
Gathering a list of investors is also another must in the world of bank owned homes. Creating the action before the home gets the “real market” is powerful for the bank. But the more important part is to give your investor list the “edge”. If you think about 10 years ago in real estate, buyers came to agents to see what they had listed. Many buyers still do the same thing even though they have access to the internet and the inventory. And, in the bank owned property world where listing brokers have over 40% of the inventory that they have been assigned “waiting to enter the MLS,” there is something very important in a buyer seeking what is coming on the market now.
