New Hope Found for Real Estate Agents in Foreclosures

 Print Article

RISMEDIA, Jan.31, 2007-Real Estate agents struggling with some of the toughest markets experienced in decades can carve out a new business niche for themselves in foreclosure properties using Foreclosure Mastery^TM. Combined with data provided by the #1 online provider of foreclosure data, RealtyTrac®, agents have a complete system to generate new business from a virtually untapped source of leads.

In real estate markets across the country, agents are feeling a tight housing market. Gone are the days of plenty that real estate agents have come to know and love, which has made finding new business almost impossible. Not only is selling homes more difficult, but agents are also experiencing difficulty generating new leads for business.

Often thought to be a shady realm only real estate investors play in, defaulted properties can be a great source of business for real estate agents. Agents in the program are discovering that homeowners in default are "highly motivated" sellers who would be happy to list their home with them.

Foreclosure Mastery^TM is a fully comprehensive, step-by-step sales and marketing program created by Dirk Zeller (CEO of Real Estate Champions). Combined with the data provided by RealtyTrac®, agents have a turn-key system to generate leads for listings that most agents don't know what to do with.

According to RealtyTrac®, December 2006 foreclosures are up 34.89% from December 2005, representing 109,652 foreclosures for the month. This increase results in a national average of 1 foreclosure for every 1,055 households. For a market of 100,000 households this can mean 94 new seller leads per month.

"When a homeowner is given a choice between a real estate investor who wants to take advantage of their precarious position and a real estate agent who has a fiduciary responsibility to take care of them, the Agent wins every time," says Dirk Zeller, real estate author and CEO of Real Estate Champions, Inc
