When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.

A little while back I shared with you the success of HouseHunt.com member Bruce LaMaster, who has been able to build his real estate team, thanks in part to the customers he received through his HouseHunt.com exclusive territory. I’m happy to share with you the success of another of our long-time agents, Susan Crawford, a HouseHunt.com agent in the Durham, NC area who has successfully opened her own real estate company.

Crawford has been a member agent with us at HouseHunt.com for over five years and has applied her tremendous vision, knowledge, and hard work towards the customers she receives from her HouseHunt.com exclusive territory. "I want to be the REALTOR my clients come back to over and over," Susan explains. "I also want my clients to be comfortable referring their closest friends and family to me." She most recently shared with us that her closing as part of her new company came from a HouseHunt.com customer – a new construction deal on a $375,000 home.

We’re happy that we’ve been able to help Susan Crawford achieve her real estate career goals and l’m looking forward to more stories about her ever-expanding success!

You may have to forgive me, but I simply love it when stories like these come across my desk from one of our agents.

“I just closed my second sale this year from HouseHunt,” said David Olivarez, our exclusive member agent with HouseHunt.com who represents McAllen, Texas.

A long time real estate professional, Olivarez services all of Hidalgo County, and works extensively to help Buyers and Sellers meet their real estate goals. Olivarez is additionally a Certified Texas Affordable Housing Specialist and works with Spanish speaking customers.

“I am impressed by the number of leads that I get weekly from HouseHunt,” David said. “This system has a lot of potential and I look forward to closing more deals very soon.”

I am proud to know that our system is allowing David to increase his income and to expand his pipeline of customers that will no doubt ever increase his earnings exponentially. David says that one of his goals is to build a team of agent, and between you and me, I see no reason why that goal won’t be achieved sooner than later!

Not many real estate agents are building, growing, and establishing a team for their business right now. Fewer first-time home buyers, a slower buying cycle, and more difficult financing options have made it a difficult road to travel. However, a solid plan can be a game-changer... even in this economy.

Bruce LaMaster is a HouseHunt.com exclusive agent in the Sacramento, CA area who has successfully been building and growing his real estate business for some time now. He is adding agents to his team and setting sales goals for everyone. So, how is Bruce doing it?

Bruce and his expanding team are using HouseHunt.com to establish a constant source of active and legitimate buyers from the Internet. HouseHunt keeps their pipeline full, as well as their schedules.

“I’ve closed 13 HouseHunt leads this year for about $3.1 million,” Bruce said. “I currently have one HouseHunt lead in escrow for $700K and we are listing their current house for $500K.”

They also have multiple HouseHunt leads in escrow right now.

Bruce has been a successful HouseHunt member for awhile primarily because he has a plan and works very hard at his success. He and his team provide fantastic service, consistent follow up, and view every single lead as a potential client for life. That attitude will consistently make them a winning team.

How poor are they who have not patience!

- William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

A good thing is always worth the wait. Especially when it comes to a business investment that is sure to bring legitimate growth and profit.

A few months ago, Larry Boatman of Keller Williams Integrity Realty, made the decision to invest in his business by choosing to become a HouseHunt.com exclusive member. Right away, the customers began to roll in rather quickly, but the natural buying cycle was playing a role as well.

However, Larry knew HouseHunt was a good move in the long-term and remained patient and persistent. One week ago, Larry contacted HouseHunt with some great news.

“We did it!” Larry said. “First HouseHunt lead closed. Next one is set for August 12th.”

Of course, a sale is always something to celebrate, but Larry is also excited and optimistic because his pipeline of customers has grown significantly over the recent months as well. Larry has now placed himself in a prime position to enjoy even more success over the coming months.

His hard work and patience have created big opportunities, which will in turn create big profits, and in the process has become a prime example of patience paying off…literally!

KB Homes has devised an interesting way to get buyers to check out their Vegas area homes. Anyone who stops in for a visit prior to July 5th will be entered in a drawing to win a four pack of tickets to see Justin Bieber in concert on July 24th at Planet Hollywood on the strip.

Have no idea who Justin Bieber is? Don’t worry, your children do. Bieber is the latest teen pop sensation sweeping the country.

The thought behind the promotion is that it will attract families to visit the homes.

Two Questions:

1.) Incentives are always a great way to get people in the door (literally), but do you think this particular one it will work?

2.) What’s the most interesting thing you’ve done or heard of to attempt to attract buyers?

What do you think?
