4 Preparing to Handle The SellMyHouse.com Leads Using your tools to get listings: Realtor.com, SellMyhouse.com, signage, marketing, MLS access, etc. – all the normal Realtor items. Position yourself for success: Know the system Know the system Join local real estate investment groups Join local real estate investment groups Separate yourself from other Realtors with our system Separate yourself from other Realtors with our system

5 Going The Extra Mile Start a real estate investment group and invite local investors. Contact all other local and regional investment groups and explain that you have direct access to distresses sellers. Advertise for real estate investors. Talk to banks about our auction service to generate more pre- foreclosure listings.

6 Prepared to Handle the Lead Preach price to the client in this market. Explain the auction process to separate yourself from competition. Short sale clients need to understand the urgency of time. You can help them along with SellMyHouse.com given the appropriate amount of time. You have all the tools every other Realtor has and more due to the SellMyHouse.com system. Explain the SellMyHouse.com marketing system of advertising to both retail buyers via the MLS, Realtor.com, your local site, a national database in SellMyHouse.com, email blasts to our investor network, and finally our auction system. Use the SellMyHouse.com customer service team to help you make the point with the client.

7 Staying Organized When Receiving a Lead Keep a tracking sheet for each and every contact made (e.g. date sent email, date called, date contact was made). Keep a record of what was said and a quick synopsis of the situation.

8 Staying Organized When Receiving a Lead Keep a good record of follow-up with all leads: Is the lead ready now? Should I call back in a week? Two weeks? 6 months? Have I sent a follow-up note after each contact or no contact? What is my follow-up plan for this lead?

9 Staying Organized When Receiving a Lead Update my lead tracking sheet AND SellMyHouse.com Customer Service whenever there is a change, additional information, a new development or some critical follow-up.

10 Introductory Activity For New Lead Upon receiving lead, immediately send an introductory email and follow-up with a quick phone call to introduce yourself and give the prospect contact info. This is the first contact with lead.

11 Introductory Activity for New Lead The first phone call usually results in a message left on a voice mail/machine. Hello Client Name, this is Drew Dunn, the local affiliate for SellMyHouse.com. I received the information you filled out on one of our websites regarding your house and wanted to contact you to gather some more information about your situation. I also sent you an email so you can reach me at 555- 5555 or by email at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you figure out the best solution to getting your house sold.

12 Introductory Activity for New Lead The next step is to follow up the first email with a second email and a second phone call. The second phone call is usually made in the evening to try and catch the prospect at home. It is very important NOT to push a listing in the initial stages of a discussion. Many do not understand the investor purchase process and need it explained to them. When they understand this process most will figure out that a traditional listing and possible online auction is a better solution.

13 Contact/No Contact The lead usually takes one of two directions at this point: Contact with the lead No Contact with the lead
