Today we'll show you how to deploy 5 creative ways to get more from your searches, so you can get those buyers in contract faster. Fact:  The longer you take to deliver what your buyers want, the less faith they'll have in you.  If you've ever been 'ghosted' by clients you showed homes to, this may have been the reason.  Are your buyers being more proactive than you are?  Are they out there doorknocking, sending letters, and going to new builds, fsbos, and open houses? Yikes! You'd better get in front of that. REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, https://alltheleads.com/harris Fact:  Finding the right house for your buyers in today's market is a bit like a Safari.  You're looking for something that's scarce but could be hiding in plain sight.  You'll need more tools, and more skills to have a successful hunt! Yes, keep setting up those buyer drips, but ALSO make sure YOU are actively and creatively mining your MLS, using the following five strategies: 1.     Re-examine your buyer's wants and needs. What's a deal killer and what's a deal-maker and why?  If they're adamant about a specific neighborhood, why is that?  Is it because they love the walking trail and the clubhouse?  There are probably 10 more neighborhoods in their geographic search that ALSO have that profile.  EXPAND their search to capture more options!   Ready to become an EXPIRED Listing Agent?

Assuming they love it, or used to love it before they outgrew it, what caused them to choose it? Probably that hasn't changed.  Ask good questions, get the answers, and deliver! 2.     If your buyers can't or won't compete for scarce inventory, change your strategy.  Search for homes that have 30+ days on the market, 60 or 90 days plus as well.  You're less likely to have to compete for those, and the sellers are likely to be more motivated to make a deal.  Maybe there's a builder spec home that doesn't have 3 offers on it, something that's back on the market, or a for sale by owner that isn't getting showings. Change your strategy if they can't or won't compete! 3.     Look for new construction, even if your buyers don't think they will like it, add one, well-selected new home at the end of a search for resale homes just to take their temperature.  They may be surprised by how much they like it, considering it's all-new, they get to choose some options and they won't have to deal with repairs! 4.     If you can't find something in the right school district, find out if that district allows out-of-district families to pay tuition.  This is becoming more and more prevalent and ranges from $1,000 per year on up.  Call the district enrollment advisor and find out!  Often the tuition can be made up by the fact that buying out of the district costs less and has lower property taxes.
