Has anyone closed a deal recently with one of the iBuyers on the fastcashoffers.ai platform? If so, I would like to hear about your experience working with them and how smooth/rocky was the transaction. TIA for sharing!

Do you mind taking a minute to introduce yourself? (And maybe let everyone know how many years you've been in the business AND what market area(s) you service?)

Session summary & breakdown coming soon... Strategic Real Estate Deal Facilitation and Buyer Classification Executive Summary The provided source context outlines a shift in real estate practice from passive reliance on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to active deal facilitation through the strategic organization of buyer leads. Central to this approach is the classification of buyers into three distinct "buckets": Pocket Buyers, Portfolio Buyers, and Institutional Buyers. By maintaining these lists, agents can match sellers with specific "flavors" of solutions, effectively acting as brokers who create value in a vacuum rather than merely "door openers." Key takeaways include: - Active Facilitation: Success is driven by bringing the "money to the table" through pre-vetted buyer lists rather than waiting for the MLS to provide a buyer. - The Cookie Shop Analogy: Agents should offer specific "cookies" (solutions) that meet the client's immediate needs rather than explaining the "recipe" (the process). - Strategic Pricing: Utilizing "event pricing" or "strategic pricing" to drive activity, while reinforcing the seller’s fiduciary right to accept, reject, or negotiate any offer. - Direct Prospecting: Success stories highlight the efficacy of the "reverse offer strategy" and the "three-step blueprint" in converting motivated sellers, tired landlords, and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) leads. The Three Buckets of Buyers A central theme of the discussion is the "One Deal a Week" challenge, which focuses on organizing and optimizing three specific categories of buyers. This framework ensures that agents have a "solution" ready before they even encounter a seller. 1. Portfolio Buyers - Definition: Individuals or entities that have demonstrated via public record the ability to purchase multiple properties (typically five or more). - Varieties: There are approximately four flavors or varieties of portfolio buyers identified within the LeadDeck ecosystem, including active landlords and cash buyers. - Value Proposition: These buyers are "ready, willing, and able," providing a reliable exit strategy for sellers who want to avoid the open market.

Today I reviewed the LeadDeck FSBO Playbook in detail and followed it word-for-word. I sent 9 text messages and got 4 "Yes" responses to the first question; all within 15 minutes. Yay! 🎉I followed up with the second psychological question: "Got it, thanks for confirming. If we brought you an acceptable offer, would you be totally opposed to paying a finder's fee?" I got 3 "No" responses, as expected so I'm working on 3 preliminary offers now... wish me luck!! 🙏🤞 @Josh Schoenly I got one "Yes" response to the second question above, meaning she does not want to pay a finder's fee. I followed up to make sure that's what she meant and got the following reply. "No, not really. We already have many offers without an agent or a middleman. We're willing to pay some commission but not as high compared to agents' rate." How would you reply? 🤔
