Firefox for Real Estate

Firefox for Real Estate

You’re probably already familiar with browsers like Internet Explorer or Netscape… or even the built in browser in AOL if you use AOL.

But, you may have never even heard of “FireFox”. It’s a great organizational tool for your business in that it’s a browser that uses a tab system (similar to the new Internet Explorer interface).

Save different tab sets for different purposes. For instance, if you regularly research a handful of websites for new properties for sale, you might have one tab set entitled “Finding Properties”. Then, let’s suppose you follow several educational blogs (like Continue Reading

Choosing Your Domain Name & Setting Up Hosting

Choosing Your Domain Name & Setting Up Hosting

This was actually REALLY cool!

As I was creating the first training video, I went through the EXACT same process I teach you live (and without prior research). And I just happened to use Austin as my local area search criteria. I wound up finding the domain “houseaustin.com”. Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “that sounds kind of stupid”, BUT, there are over 100,000 searches on that keyword term a month, and 40,500 on the specific phrase. Now, from an SEO standpoint and traffic standpoint, there’s some stuff we can surely do with it ;-) .

I always have people that get bogged down or overwhelmed with some of the basic elements required to get websites up and running. So… I’ve gone ahead and put together 3 specific videos on: Continue Reading

Video For Real Estate: Communication Is Key

Video For Real Estate: Communication Is Key

So, the past week has been a little shaky at best!

We had to move all of our company’s web servers to a new hosting account. I’ll save you all the technical details and leave it at this: if you’re ever changing websites and/or hosting accounts, HIRE IT OUT!

At any rate, there was an interesting experience that arose from going through the process of upgrading our servers. I felt frustrated and overwhelmed the whole time and was operating in a reactive state. More than once, I simply tried to cancel the upgrade and was determined to go to another company.

I didn’t know what had happened already. I didn’t know what to expect next. Continue Reading

Local Real Estate Investor Websites: Why You Need One…

Local Real Estate Investor Websites: Why You Need One…

Real Estate Investing gurus have been peddling websites since the very beginning ranging anywhere from $30-40/month upwards of several $100 per month with sign up fees ranging from “waived with a one year contract” to “$3000+”.

And here’s the kicker, most of these sites are TERRIBLE.

Most of these real estate websites don’t do anything for the investor whatsoever. (Click Here to watch our recent training video on local real estate website traffic)

I can’t tell you how many people I know have bought these websites, spent thousands on them, and have never received so much as a single lead.

The problem is this… MOST of the people selling these real estate investor websites don’t actually know anything about driving real buyer and seller leads, letalone on a local level, which is (a) more effective, and (b) less expensive.

We’re going to focus on setting up a LOCAL real estate investor website Continue Reading

Pay Per Click: Google Adwords

Pay Per Click: Google Adwords

My top 2 questions used to be:

  1. How do you find motivated sellers?
  2. How do you get started with no money or credit?

    Now… my single biggest question – hands down – is “How do I find buyers?” Whether you’re looking for wholesale buyers for your quick flips or you’re looking for retail buyers (or renters) for your existing properties.

    My partner, Brandon, is working on a comprehensive book with all the tactics and strategies we use to find buyers (we were actually out today with 2: one for a million dollar property and another for a $300,000 property) And they were “end” buyers.

    So, how do you go about finding these people? We do all sorts of things like: Craigslist, Bandit signs, MLS, open houses, etc. However, there is one tactic that very few people know about, let alone talk about. And that is individual property websites. Continue Reading

    Capturing Your Web Visitors

    Capturing Your Web Visitors

    By now you know that you need a website, blog or some sort of web presence, I hope!

    But, it’s simply not enough to have a website if you’re not getting visitors and/or not getting visitors to leave their information so that you can follow up with them. So… how do you capture their info?

    Nowadays, it’s easier said than done. You see, several years ago, you could pop a page on the web, tell someone they couldn’t go anywhere until they gave you their information and that was it. But now, people are tired of spam and junk mail and don’t want to give out their email address if they don’t “know” what’s on the other side. Not to mention, just about everybody I know has an entirely separate email account for forced opt ins

    So… how do you get your visitor to give you their PRIMARY name and email?
    You’ve got to give them something SO irresistible or so unique, that they’d be stupid to say no to your offer.

    Here are a couple of unique ideas for things you can offer to your niche market: Continue Reading
