Find the Best Real Estate Deals by Word of Mouth?

Why can we often find the best deals by word of mouth?

Many times, we can learn about these great deals before anyone else— simply by being the ear on the receiving end of someone who wants to do us a favor (or return one). By being the person among someone’s group of friends, family, acquaintances, or co-workers who is known to them as the “go-to-guy” to solve problems in real estate— and by making it worth that person’s while to give you the information you need. (That’s very important!)

This person could be ANYONE we meet, even if we just met them TODAY.

It’s true, the best deals are never listed. Not on the MLS. Not in a FSBO magazine. Not on a website somewhere.

No, the best deals are often never listed at all. In fact, a mentor of mine made famous the phrase, “if it’s on a list, the deal doesn’t exist”. No, a true deal is something few people are going to know about. You want to be one of those people!

Networking can yield some surprisingly fantastic results as connections are made with other movers and shakers and people in the know and believe me when I say that relationships can be forged in some unlikely place— and with some unlikely people.

Even your garbage man can be a great person to network with, when you’re looking for great potential real estate deals.

Think about it a second and you’ll realize why this makes so much sense. Do you see it?
