ADVICE

Use Cash Offer Marketing Hook

Use a cash offer call to action instead of generic "free home valuation" ads to generate seller leads.
Cash offer CTAs eliminate agent competition and get you more face-to-face seller appointments.

INSIGHT

Seller Appointments Cost Around $1K

Generating seller appointments via paid ads costs about $1,000 each in today's low-inventory market.
This makes ad spending expensive, and most appointments don't guarantee listings or purchases.

ADVICE

Be Consistent With Mailers

For mailers, target a specific list and maintain consistent mailing at least quarterly.
Mailing once or twice won’t yield results; persistence over time is crucial for success.
