Wanted - Promotional partner!

Hello everyone. When it rains it pours and suddenly you can't do everything. Here's my dilema. There is a company in the U.S. called 1-800-SellNow. They deal with MUST sell properties and investor/buyers. They have a great program and a great Vanity number to promote. I loved the idea and purchased into the licensing rights for Canada! Sounds great - I don't have the time to promote it and xpand it, but I don't want to give it up!

I would like to partner up with someone or organization so that we can make some money from it and promote it accoss Canada.

You do not have to be a Realtor - in fact Lenders, agents, investors, marketers, promoters...I would be interested in speaking with you! Web site, call center, Brand...it's all set up and in place.

If you are able to take a brand and expand it (small at first or all out) give me a call, I would love to speak with you.

What a FANTASTIC BRAND! It's everything I wanted. As a Realtor, we are always looking for MOTIVATED SELLERS and MOTIVATED BUYERS. You visit a Realtors web site and it offers the exact same thing that every other Realtor offers - "register for your FREE E-book", " Discover the 10 biggest mistakes Sellers make", "get 1,000's of listings right to your in-box!"

I have worked feverishly to get a high ranking on Google and now have a page 2 (best pg 1) placement organically for key words Mississauga Real Estate. My real estate business is based on branding and referrals but I found that most Real estatebrands are the agents themselves. I'm impressed everytime I see myself on some promotional item...but is the public really impressed? - do they care? do they see my branding?

I have spent a lot of time and research with marketing and the internet. I have spoken to many agents about the concerns of their business, many dollars spent on advertising. The biggest complaint I hear from realtors is...when it's good it's great...when it's bad it's BAD! Up and Down is how the Realtor defines the business.

I was in search of a catchy name, logo something that would say everything but with little effort. I was after the Motivated client. I was going to set out to develop another internet site that would involve quick sales (Motivated), Interested buyers (Motivated) and a common denominator that was easy to understand but most of all recognizable. I began developing a site and through my research I discovered 1-800-SELLNOW.com

It was everything I was looking for but there was a problem....it was American based! NO Canadian content. I approached Kent Clothier - President 1-800-Sellnow and over several meetings we came to an agreement. I purchased the licensing rights to 1-800-sellnow and would like to introduce it to my Canadian colleagues.

It would cost tens of thousands of dollars to have set up the site I wanted and the time to get it rolling....I don't have that time left. I want it now.

Here's how it works. You purchase the 1-800-sellnow license for your area of interest. This is a monthly fee allowing you the right to use our VERY RECOGNIZABLE BRAND. You can use it in all of your advertising. Your newsletters, newspaper ads, magazine, doorknocking, buyers seminars, investor lists anywhere you can locate properties that are in need of a quick sale but even better to locate buyers interested in DEALS! The ideas are endless, the brand is priceless. We are working on the Canadian portion of the site (we know we are different from the U.S.) but it is fully functional now!

An interested party would visit www.1800sellnow.comthey will follow the instructions and register their information. This lead will be directed to the appropriate associate and you receive it in your in-box. It's yours - Sell it! or they can call our number - 1-800-SELLNOW - our call center will direct the call and you get the lead in your in-box. BRILLIANT!

This has taken off in the U.S. and your opportunity has just knocked.

Buyers, wake up and smell the market.

Buyers! Where are you!

The market is finally showing improvement. However, I still can't put my finger on it.

Renters, First Time home buyers and Up-sizers have a chance to get the home they want or the start they need.

Prices are still competative, S.E. Oakville has shown great value in properties, W15, W16, W20 has many opportunities waiting. For those that do not have a Down Payment, options are still available and the rates are great. We should be having line ups to buy properties, yet they are still hesitant. You are able to borrow more money for less. Move up for the same mortgage payment. $1500/mo rental...hmm sounds like a mortgage payment - why pay the landlords mortgage? Pay your own!

If you are working with a qualified full time Realtor, they should be qable to 'SHOW you the MONEY'. I have a young family I am dealing with. the husband is having trouble letting go of the current selling price to see the benefit of the NEW purchase price. by taking a loss (he's not) on the sale of the house, he will be able to (in this case) up-size to a home that his family can grow into, his wife will be thrilled and it won't cost him much more! In fact the maintenance fee he is paying now will more than cover any extra cost of the purchase...and yet...he won't let it go.

In my opinion this is a mistake! The time is now. Buyers, wake up and smell the market. You need to make your move NOW!

CallPaul for more details on how to make your move NOW!

Why would someone want to sell their home themselves?

FSBO. For Sale By Owner, an opportunity for a seller to SAVE thousands of dollars! Or an opportunity to call a Realtor!

Here's how I see it. Sure you will always find a buyer if you wait long enough or lucky enough. As a professional Mississauga Realtor, I have dedicated myself to my career. My training, my knowledge, my experience. This is what I do all day - every day! As a Realtor I know how much time, effort & money is involved in maintaining this career. It is not a part time job, it is not something I do ONLY when times are good. If it's good - it's good! When it's bad - IT'S BAD!

If you're a Banker & wanted your car fixed, you could call your poker buddy to come over and help you install new brakes on your wife's car (I'm guessing your wife will not be too happy) or perhaps the mechanic can get a part time job as a bank teller - probably not. My point is, when you have so much depending on the sale of your home, do you really have the time, money and resources that you could do a better job than a professional full time Realtor? NO - how could you? This is what I do all day. I have relationships with neighbors, bankers, past clients, advertisers, numerous agents that have their contacts as well, not to mention our FULL access to MLS and listing resources that FSBO's don't. If Real Estate was that easy...I'd be looking for a new career!

It's not easy, in fact it costs me 10's of thousands of dollars each year just so I could do it again and again. Once a deal is done - I'm unemployed again. I have to advertise & work to get a new client, each & every time.

If a seller has a home for sale (FSBO) for $300,000. This is the number they figured would be good, compared to other homes near by that are listed with agents. The other homes are under contract for say 5%. Therefore the net sale to the seller is $285,000. The FSBO thinks they are going to get $300K! Why don't they ask $285,000 - this would be fair, or maybe deduct 2.5% and post that as the selling price. Well they don't because they are actually greedy. They are not passing the savings on, they are trying to keep the savings for themselves. Yes they may very well find a buyer but over 85% of them will eventually list with a realtor. The real loser in this scenario is the would be buyer. He just bought a house with no representation, no real comparables, no negotiating and all of this at a truly higher price!

There is a place for everyone, but in this market, if the professionals are having trouble how is a FSBO supposed to fair out.
