How can property wholesalers beat all of the deafening marketing noise out there today in order to close on more acquisitions and flips?
The amount of advertising noise out there is at epic proportions today. It’s coming from constantly blaring screens, in vehicles, on signs, and is being beamed into our palms and on our wrists. Soon smart glasses will pop up ads literally right in front of our eyeballs so we can’t ignore them. That can make it tougher and tougher (and more expensive) to stand out, get noticed and compete. Even if you repeat everything you did last year, your results may be way down due to the rise in noise. So, whether you are a real estate education guru or brand new investor focusing on wholesaling, how do you break through it?
Make it Personal
The tendency today is for marketers to just blast, blast, blast messages out. There is far less focus on handling the incoming. Too many drop the ball on replying and following up with leads in those most valuable first five minutes. It’s not just hot leads either, but the growing amount of interactions that are happening online. Maybe you can’t compete on content and volume on social, but you can do better at really engaging and strengthening personal ties. If you tried to compliment someone or speak to them in the street and they ignored you, would you buy from them? How would you relay your feelings about them to others? Yet, real estate investors and brands frequently fail to respond to likes and comments on Facebook, Instagram and other social platforms. It’s no different. Spend less time firing at them, and more time in real conversations.
Make it Real
So much is happening virtually online. Yet, that is only making real life engagement, relationships and activities scarcer. Stand out by getting together in person and building real connections whenever possible.
Make the Most Noise
If the above doesn’t appeal to you, then at least make the most noise. It may be easier and more affordable than you think. At least if you use the data available and target well. You can achieve great market saturation with a dense and targeted multimedia approach. You can hit them with mail, email, Facebook ads, signs, and be there every time they search the internet.
Make the Most of Your Marketing Team
Many businesses are still struggling to get a handle on the new remote working environment. You can now affordably recruit the top talent in the world and get just what you need from them on an on-demand basis. Yet, so many are still trying to micromanage their operations. That’s like signing Lebron James and then keeping him on the bench. Or insisting he shoot your way if he is ever on the court, even if you’ve never made a half court shot or dunked. Sounds crazy, but that’s what the bulk of brands are doing. They don’t know what they don’t know about the game. They don’t have the level of expertise in the details that their players do. Yet, they wonder why they aren’t scoring more. Find great talent and get out of their way fast so they can clock up the wins for you. You don’t need to dictate how they throw, as long as the data is going up on the scoreboard.

I'll know exactly where to call for the funding we'll need for our next project."
- Dave Pricken, Real Estate Investor, NJ
"Thank you so much! I just had a talk with our Realtor on both properties and told him amazing things about your company!... Normally I rehab the houses and re resells them. I just don't have the patience for that work anymore. This [transactional funding] is such a better way for me and less stress."

"We want to thank you for the exceptional customer service you provided. No one comes close. We had contacted a competitor the same time we contacted your company. Your company responded with in a few minutes while the competitor has yet to respond weeks later even after multiple phone calls and emails. Thanks again for the unmatched customer service."
"We had looked into several transaction lenders for a couple properties we were trying to flip. Your company was the most responsive and had the best pricing. Even though we had logistics issues with the B/C lender, your company acted very professionally and handled our requests beyond our expectations."
"Thank you for your commitment to an excellent customer experience."

"I was studying on how transactional funding works and you guys had the best and most thorough explanations posted so I could fully understand the details in back to back closing. I'd already started setting everything up but your video confirmed that I'm on the right track."
- La'Donna Turnipseed-Scott, Investor, LA
"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
"To you I say, ”KUDOS to Best Transactional Funding and Thank you for providing the education and services to Real Estate Entrepreneurs like me. Please keep up the good work!'"
- T. A. Davis, Investor, NJ
"You each deserve high marks for your wonderfully quick response time to each of our questions and requests! You hit home runs with us! Your application system was easy to use. Our deal met your qualifications and every time Rob Kozak or any member of Mystic Properties, LLC phoned, we received a "real" person dialing back to speak with us.
Your patience and persistence were exceptional in dealing with our business interests. Thank you for such great customer service! We look forward to working with your staff, again, in the future. We like referring people to you, as us, our team would have missed-out on an excellent earning opportunity.
Your help negotiating with our title company made our back-to-back deal, finally happen. People noticed on settlement day how effectively and efficiently your part of the transaction was organized and executed. Again, thank you for truthfully being the "BEST" at what you do!"
