Email: More Benefits and Better Services for Real Estate Buyers September 23rd, 2020 | Posted in General Real Estate, Other Interests, Real Estate

To:     Name

RE:    (Your Area’s) Best-Selling REALTOR® Wants You!

I would like to introduce you to a number of exclusive services for buyers that treat you to the friendliest, most professional red-carpet service you will ever know.  Let me explain just one service:

MY HASSLE-FREE “BUYERS’ ASSISTANCE PROGRAM”

Real estate tradition says that when an agent works with buyers, it is up to the MLS to decide which properties they will see.  In reality, your agent could be overlooking properties that would actually be of interest to you, but you would never know about them because you would never see them!

At my office, we respect the choices you would like to make in our real estate market. You should have extensive input on the type of properties in which you are interested.  You should be the one who decides which properties in our market you would like to see.  You should be introduced to property that is not normally available through the “regular” channels, so I have come up with a better way to find the home or investment of your dreams without wasting time or money.

With no obligation to you, I invite you to fill out a detailed questionnaire that tells me what you are looking for in a home or investment property.  I will enter your information in our “Buyers’ Assistance Program” database and then every week, I will mail or email you detailed printouts of any of the market’s newest listings that fit your criteria.  No, I do not just limit your package of listings to what I am selling.  That is extremely unfair to you.  You receive a package each week of every new listing in (city, city, or city).  We use databases that no one else will offer you.  We show you property that no one else will show you.  Here are some of my “secret” sources of inventory:

1.       My client database: I call past clients who own property that meets your parameters to see if they might consider selling to you.

2.       I will call three years of expired listings that match your criteria.  At one time, these people wanted to sell their homes, and they might be more motivated now.

3.       I will send out direct mail to all owners in your chosen area to inquire whether any of them might be selling in the next six months.

4.       I have bank lists of distressed, REO, short sale, and foreclosure properties.

5.       I dominate the FSBO research, and I know all the owners.  I will arrange a tour of the FSBOs that meet your needs.

6.       I will show you all the non-listed “pocket listings.”  You know, those secret properties that are “rumors” among agents.

7.       I will call you with all listings taken by my office but not yet submitted to the MLS.

8.       I will email you all the standard MLS listings the moment they become available.

9.       I promise that when I list a property that meets your needs, you will be the first potential buyer in it.

From all these listings, you can decide which properties interest you and drive past any of those addresses at your convenience.  Believe it or not, you will probably eliminate half of what is on your list by simply driving through the neighborhood and looking around!  When you find the properties that you do like, we can get together for a tour.  I have years of experience, and I know how to tell a diamond from a cubic zirconia.  We will immediately schedule an appointment to take you inside for a closer look.

Pick up the phone and call me today at 815.929.9258 for more information on my “Buyers’ Assistance Program,” as well as several other services my team and I have designed exclusively for buyers.  Call me or email me, (your area’s) best-selling REALTOR® who has found the perfect property for more than 3,000 buyers just like you. 

Sincerely,

Walter Sanford

Sanford Systems

Since I have retired from the speaking circuit, I have my systems (large books with software) that I was selling from the back of the room at about $1500.00.  These are my newest products and this package includes everything that I have ever done.  As a “pay it forward” opportunity I am now selling these same books and software at my cost, about 94% off.  This is the start of your plan to get to the point where you are living the dream.  This is not anything but selling you the best real estate training materials in the world for 94% less than they were selling for a couple of weeks ago.  You will get 9 books, a whopping 40 pounds of checklists and information that is easy to use.  These volumes have been used by agents in the US and Canada to be the best agent in their market place.  Go here to pick up your foundation for the future.

Freebie Friday: Letter: Mature Home Owners in Large Properties March 6th, 2020 | Posted in General Real Estate, Other Interests, Real Estate

Have you ever wondered what you receive if you order Walter’s entire system for only $90? Here is just a sample of one of his customization letters to send to potential sellers… 

Date

Name

Address

City, ST  Zip

Name:

In providing the residents of (neighborhood name) with their real estate needs, I have found a large request for the following items:

  1. Property tax reassessment assistance
  2. Lists of guard-gated, low-maintenance townhomes, condos, and homes for the client who wants to “simplify life.”
  3. Free appointments with local financial advisers for the reinvestment of equity, since the sale of a larger home and the purchase of a smaller home often creates money for investments
  4. Introduction of new loan programs such as “reverse payment” programs
  5. No-hassle, quick estimates of value on all property in the community
  6. Free appointment with my CPA to discuss the tax ramifications of real estate sales

There are many other services that I offer regarding real estate in the (neighborhood name) community.  Contact me for an appointment, and we can meet in person or over the phone.

I have been buying and selling real estate in your neighborhood for more than 30 years.  If you are thinking of selling and moving to a home that is smaller or easier to maintain, I have some interesting information for you.  If you are going to be moving out of the area in the future, I can also arrange to find you the best real estate agent in any community in the world. 

Let us get acquainted. Even if you are not thinking about moving right away, pre-planning can increase your net proceeds and enjoyment of the process.

Sincerely,

Walter Sanford

Ideas to help you get the “in” with the Human Resource Departments February 25th, 2020 | Posted in General Real Estate, Newsletter Archives, Other Interests

Question:

Walter,

Not so long ago I bought the entire package of Sanford systems. I have been looking for a good phone script reference contacting the human resource departments of very large companies and didn’t come across one in my phone scripts book. Would you happen to have a script such a this? Please advise.

Thank you,

C.M.

Answer:

You are smart. There are a ton of seller leads in that demographic. Be careful your people do not get hung up on those coming into town who need tours to see if they want to take the job. You have to be clear it is the potential employer’s job to sell them on the job and area. Your job is to sell them a home.

It is the listings that bring in the most net profit. My coaching clients and/or their assistants use a letter detailing all the services that their “Human Resource Service Departments” handle. These services can include the following:

1. Quick seminars put on for employees on the state of the real estate market, financing, problems and their cures, and neighborhood updates.

2. The free 48-hour phone value analysis.

3. Email-enabled free dream home search.

4. Access to lender team member for refinancing and new loans.

5. Approved team member for support in-home inspections, home warranties, termite, title, and other real estate services.

6. Guaranteed same-day return phone call or Email on any question or challenge that an employee has.

7. The contract “look-over” service should any employee find themselves in a real estate transaction with another agent and have a question.

8. Access to the VIP Client Club

Once you put your contact list together, send the offer above and follow-up with the following call:

“Hello, (name). My name is Walter Sanford, and we are rolling out our new Human Resource Department Services. I sent you a letter last week regarding some of the services we offer and wondered if we could set up a small seminar for your employees regarding the current real estate market. Do you have any current employees that need selling services, buying services, or rental services? May I stay in contact with you regarding updates on additional services and to see if any of your employees need real estate services? By the way, on every closing, I would like to donate $500 to the charity that your company supports or possibly toward the employees’ appreciation party.”

I hope this gives you some ideas to capture the HR business!

Coaching 9-1-1 July 31st, 2014 | Posted in General Real Estate, Real Estate

Having a coach can provide the right answers when you need it.  Below is an exchange with one of our coaching clients and it provided a little “911” for his current situation:

Coaching Client: I went on what I thought was a great listing presentation yesterday. However, the couple would not sign at our meeting. They said they needed to talk. I then felt like something was up.

Walter: On the phone while making the appointment, one of the questions needs to be – “If everything meets with your approval, are you wanting to start the marketing plan tomorrow night when I meet with you?”

Coaching Client: The guy just left me a voicemail saying they loved everything I had to offer; however, they were listing with some schmo that doesn’t do any FRICKIN’ business.

Walter: Always make it your goal to get the signature! Fake that you are leaving then do the “Columbo” and say, “So, I can email all answers at the office – what are you thinking about so I can do more research for you?”

Coaching Client: They said they had a personal connection that really suggested that they use this guy. I know them as well and I can hear the conversation: the (name) Team are doing just fine and (name) really needs the business. How in the heck do I fight that?

Walter: Let’s not try to fight until you are sure that’s what happened. Call them back. “(Wife’s name) and I are always trying to improve our services. Could you help me by letting me know what I could have done differently to earn your business? Was there anything I could have improved on for you?”

Coaching Client: This other guy doesn’t even know how to spell marketing much less apply it! I am as mad as I have been since getting into real estate. Thanks for any suggestions.

Walter: If that was the REAL reason, you needed to find it out while you were there then counter it by letting them know that more than anything else…an agent makes the difference on the amount a seller nets at the closing. Experience makes a difference in –  

• A large buyer database

• More trust from buyers

• More money to spend on marketing

• The ability to convert leads into showings by uncovering needs of buyers and demonstrating how your property fulfills them having experience in negotiating

• Understanding in how to write contracts to prevent post-closing seller litigation

• Having a team who monitors every aspect of the closing successfully

• Overcoming objections and challenges in the most cost-effective manner
