What Are The Biggest Problems You Face As A Realtor?

Hello,

I am getting ready to launch my own business online which will focus on buyer leads for Realtors and wanted to improve upon my service by making sure that I cater to the problems that most Realtors face when it comes to receiving Internet Leads.

Are you a Realtor? What would you say is the biggest problem you have with leads you get from the Internet? What would make the lead more effective and worth paying up to $100 for?

Thanks!

    There are tons and tons of buyer referral services out there, but all are an incredible waste of time and money. All of my co-workers that have tried these lead referral services have regretted it, and received very little or no businesss from it. This is the reputation you are going to be up against.

    Most of the leads I get from the internet are people looking for something for nothing.

    I agree with godged. Most of these leads that are being offered for X dollars are a complete waste of time. Who are these magical people who willingly put themselves a spam list for realtors to contact? Also most of the time, they are surprised that you're calling and not very happy about it.

    The best leads are the ones that realtors generate themselves and aren't purchased. I would never, ever purchase leads on the internet or from anyone. I'd rather get referrals or meet them on the street, or in an elevator or through open houses etc. I would never pay for something that is 99% guaranteed to be a waste of time and money.

    I really do suggest you get into another line of work. Most realtors know that companies that sell leads are scams.
