How To Get 1 800 Number Started

I take you behind the scene of my 1 800 number with www.HassleFree800.com. In the video I removed most of the phone numbers of callers. However, if you do choose to use a real estate call-capture system make sure you:

Take advantage of their free trials..

  • Have a plan on how you will advertise the number... BEFORE YOU BUY IT or Even Try IT!
  • Set A Budget. Then cut 15% off whatever you were thinking. Don't over-pay for the system, because you still have to leave room in your budget for marketing.
  • Ask for help. I've had the same system since 2003 and I still call the support desk with questions on how I can do better
  • Talk to practicing professionals who actually have the 1800 number system to capture leads. When I bought my Lexus a few years back, I talked with friends who already owned one. I called the service department to find out about maintence. Then I went to the sales department. Turned out a buying a car at Scottsdale Lexus was a pleasant experience. The same thing goes when you want to know how to get a 1 800 phone number.

ENJOY THE VIDEO.

Retired or Fired. Real Estate Agent vs. Federal Government Laws

I was searching for information on how to research real estate licenses online. Then I found this. Even though the story is dated, it doesn't mean that should forget about what we learned in Fair Housing Laws class.

Swine Flu or Short Sale?

You can't avoid hearing about them on the television. You can't avoid reading about them in the newspaper. You can't avoid knowing someone who has been affected by them.

Shorts Sales are the Swine Flu of Real Estate
I officially like to say, "I don't like short sales.

Read the email I recently received from a listing agent:

Are your clients still hanging in there?

It looks like we will have to resubmit the packet. Considering the developments, at this point I think we should be prepared that it could still be another 60-90 days.

We are doing everything in our power to condense that time frame but I need to know if your clients are in for the "long haul" at this point?

What Does Long Haul Mean?
