Establish Your Business’”Home Base” With a Home Buying Website

One of the most important parts of Real Estate Investing is finding people that want to sell you their house and then explaining to them how you can help them. Many investors simply put out signs, fliers, postcards, or ads that tell people to call them. These things are all great for getting calls but do you really want to talk to every single person that calls for more information? Or do you just want to speak with motivated sellers? I think everyone can agree that they enjoy talking to highly motivated sellers much more than someone that just has a bunch of questions for you. So it is crucial to be prepared to handle all of the leads you generate as efficiently as possible in order to be able to handle more deals as your business grows. By using a website that is designed correctly, you can pre-screen your incoming leads and focus your attention on hot, motivated seller leads.

A website designed specifically for home buying can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your time on the phone and allow you to handle more volume right off the bat in a few ways. In this day and age, having a website is a must for anyone trying to be taken seriously in the business world. By simply having a website in place right away you can establish a “base of operations”. For many private real estate investors, having a physical office is simply unnecessary and usually it is a waste of money unless you are running a pretty large operation. Even if you need an office… you don’t really need to be there personally and you don’t want anyone doing anything that they don’t absolutely have to do manually. Many repetitive tasks can be eliminated if you have the right systems in place from the start. So get a web address and get the best looking website you can manage to get online as quickly as possible. Of course you can contact REIcreator if you want to get a professional, highly effective home buying site or a bird dogging site for $500. Our sites are designed for maximum effectiveness and are very affordable. They pay for themselves in no time and can optimize your time considerably. You can even earn money just by being a REIcreator member through our zero effort affiliate program.

By simply adding your website address to your business card, ads, fliers and other marketing materials, you will automatically cut down on the amount of incoming calls from unmotivated sellers simply based on the fact that most people will want to check out your business and see what it is all about before calling. If your website has all of the answers to all of their questions, you wont get calls from people that just have simple questions for you. The website allows your visitors to find out the answers on their own without calling you and wasting your time. When a potential customer visits your site, likes what they see, and can operate it easily, they will return for business with you as well as recommend it to others, bottom line. That is crucial in building one’s recognition in business, customer satisfaction.

Once people have come to your site and read about the things you can do for them they can simply fill out the ” Home Seller Questionnaire ” and send you all of the information that you need in order to decide if you want to buy their house. The questionnaire is very simple and non threatening, however It is set up to weed out unmotivated sellers. If someone fills out the form, they are a motivated seller and are serious about selling you their house. When you call them back, you will already have most or all of the information that you will need in order to make an offer right away. What if your time on the phone was spent making offers rather than explaining all the ins and outs of the real estate business? With our systems in place, it can be. Think of it as a robotic secretary that can instantly sense that someone is serious or not serious and let you know immediately everything you need to know about the serious visitors and at the same time, give out all the information your visitors need to know about what you do and how you can help them.

You obviously will still want your phone number on the marketing you put out and you will still get the same calls you get already. Rather than taking these calls yourself, you can steer the calls to the web via a voicemail message, information hot-line, or even have live operators set up to take the calls and enter the info into your REIorganizer for you. All of these are very inexpensive and will be talked about later in an article to come. The point is, you don’t need to waste time on the phone with unmotivated sellers or buyers. REIcreator.com can set you up with a custom solution to fit your specific needs even if you don’t know what those needs are. Just tell us about your business and we can design a plan for you that will optimize your work day in ways you could never imagine.

Now all that time that you used to spend on the phone with unmotivated sellers can be spent getting more traffic to your site. Increase your traffic through smart marketing techniques and you will be generating tons of hot leads in no time. I will explain more about marketing your site effectively later in a future article.

When visitors fill out the ” Seller Questionnaire ” on your site they go through a 3 part form that sends you information as soon as they enter it. The data is sent to your email or your smartphone instantly and is also filed away in your REIorganizer, REIcreator’s back office and database. Sometimes you can actually call them back while they are still filling out the second part of the form. If it looks like a hot lead to you, you can call them immediately and let them know that you are the best guy to work with and that you mean business. By calling them back quickly, you immediately stand out amongst your competition.

Some visitors might not quite be ready to fill out the whole form and will quit after the first step. The info is sent to you when they click the continue to the next step button, so even if they don’t feel like telling you their whole story yet… you at least got their contact info and you can decide if you want to followup.

Other visitors might not want to fill out the form at all just yet. They might want more information about the process involved with selling their house to a real estate investor. This is where “Free Reports” come in. REIcreator’s websites are set up to get people to download a free report containing more information about selling their house to you. In order to gain access to download this free report they are required to at least give you their email address. This isn’t necessarily a “hot” lead… but it is still a lead because that person must have some interest in what you do if they requested the report. We have a bunch of pre-written free reports for our members to use but you can make yours say whatever you would like.

So now you have a way to automate the collection of lead information and determine how hot the incoming leads are. You also have a way to keep all of those leads organized and you can access them any time, any where in the world from any computer with an internet connection. Your leads are kept safely in an online database that you can access from any computer. When you become a REIcreator member or customer you are given a copy of REIorgainzer. REIorganizer is an easy to use online management system for your website that allows you to view and edit your leads and contacts and much more. As I mentioned before it also emails you lead info as it comes in so you know instantly when you get a new lead.

With REIcreator’s home buying sites you can filter out unmotivated sellers, focus your attention on the hottest leads, and keep all of your leads and deals organized and managed beyond your belief. By organizing your incoming leads, automating followups, and easily being able to know which deals are hot, you will be able to increase the amount of deals can do per day without a doubt. The number of deals you are doing currently can be increased if you can eliminate time wasting tasks from your work day, and that is a fact. Having automated systems in place is the key to being able to expand. REIorganizer is just that… a Real Estate Investment Organizer. It is not only the control panel for your websites but it is also a business management system as well as a customer relationship manager (CRM).

I am sure at this point some people might be thinking, “great, my leads will be organized and accessible, but I don’t even have any leads to organize!”. Simply having a website for your business is not going to get you the leads. The website is basically for giving you an identity, informing people about your company and automating your mundane tasks as well as listing your properties for sale (which we will cover later in an article about our Property Selling Websites ). In order for people to know about your website you have to find a way to tell them to go there. Getting clicks to your website is a whole other topic altogether and will be covered in my series of articles about marketing for real estate investors. Call us or visit REIcreator.com today and get your REIcreator Home Buying Website online and ready for business in no time for $500 and $30 per month. By becoming a REIcreator member you don’t just get a website. You gain access to our vast knowledge of the internet, marketing, real estate investing, and all of the many ways that they all can work together through REIorganizer to optimize your work day and allow you to make more deals and earn more money!

REIcreator’s home buying website package for $500 comes with five copies of the website for the same price. The way it is intended to be used goes as like this… You set up one as your main home buying site. You can put your logo, your real company name, your number and any other information you want on this site. It is your home buying business’s “official site”. The other four sites can be used as bandit sites and you can monitor the effectiveness of each one’s marketing so that you can make adjustments on your marketing techniques and easily find out what works the best for you. All of the leads from any of the sites get filed into the same place in your REIorganizer and are labeled with the name of the site that the lead came in from. I will explain how to fully use bandit signs and bandit sites in a future article. You can visit REIcreator.com for more information.

You could also give a copy of the site to a bird dog, or tell a bird dog that he should buy his own set of 5 for $500 (and make $100 in commission from our 20% affiliate program that you can read about here , but that is another story). A bird dog can escape the stigma that they carry very quickly by simply changing his pitch a little bit. By making a simple alteration to the normal bird dog routine and using a REIcreator website system to capture and distribute leads, a bird dog can become a lead generating machine. By marketing yourself correctly you can go from looking for leads to having hot, motivated seller leads coming right to you in no time. A Bird dog could also quickly graduate to be a real estate wholesaler very easily if they use their site effectively. I will go more into detail about how a bird dog can use the sites to spring board themselves into more serious real estate investing later but I wanted to address bird dogs here and mention that all of these marketing techniques can be used by bird dogs to generate leads the same way a real estate investor would.
