Fellow real estate professionals, we need to talk about a dangerous misconception that's still floating around our industry. The Old (Wrong) Thinking: "If I call as an investor wanting to BUY their house, it's not a solicitation under TCPA because I'm not asking THEM to buy anything from ME." The Court Reality Check: A recent federal court case (Coffey v. Fast Easy Offer LLC, 2025) just put the final nail in this coffin. Here's what actually happened: The Facts: - Company called homeowners saying they wanted to buy their homes - Homeowners were on the Do-Not-Call registry - Company argued: "We're offering to BUY, not asking them to buy from us!" - The court said: NOPE. Still dismissed the case, but NOT for the reason you think. What the Court Actually Said: The court ruled that these "we want to buy your house" calls ARE NOT solicitations under TCPA because: 1. The statutory definition is crystal clear : Solicitation means encouraging someone to "purchase, rent, or invest in property, goods, or services" 2. Buying ≠ Selling : When you offer to buy someone's house, you're not encouraging THEM to purchase anything 3. Even the "hidden service fee" argument failed : The plaintiff tried arguing that the below-market offer was really a disguised service fee, but the court said "nice try, but no." The Key Quote That Matters: "The calls and texts therefore cannot constitute 'solicitations' within the plain statutory meaning of the term, and it is this statutory meaning that must carry the day." What This Means for You: ✅ "We buy houses" calls - Likely NOT TCPA violations ❌ "Let us list your house" calls - Definitely ARE solicitations ❌ "We can help you sell" calls - Soliciting services = violation The Bigger Picture: This doesn't mean you should start mass calling DNC numbers. There are still: - State telemarketing laws - Other federal regulations - Potential harassment claims - Professional licensing issues Bottom Line: The law distinguishes between offering to BUY something vs. offering to SELL services. But don't let this ruling make you reckless - compliance is still king.

📬 Why Most Investors Never Hear Back After Sending an Offer… You sent the offer. You followed up once. Then... crickets. This is where most investors lose the deal Not because of the price, but because they don’t have a system for what happens after the offer goes out. In Stage 4, we break down: ✅ How to spot “dead deals” before they waste your time ✅ The 3-phase follow-up flow that turns maybes into money ✅ Why speed, posture, and positioning close deals (not just offers) If you’ve ever felt like you’re one step away but can’t seem to seal the deal… We go deep on this inside the Stage 4 Bullseye Training. 📽️ Watch the full breakdown in the challenge + get the full Bullseye method.

Hey! If you’re anything like me, making calls can be a bit of a bother whether it’s nerves or something else. I’m the type of person that likes to accomplish things and be able to see my progress. So if I don’t make calls it feels worse than making them. Sometimes in this business, especially when just starting off we don’t feel like we are making progress. Or when you feel like you’ve called 100 sellers and just aren’t getting anywhere! I have started doing 2 things to help me with this and maybe it will help someone else. First thing I do is I have a clear jar with 100 paper clips in it. At the start of my calls I dump it on my desk. After each call I put a paper clip back. This way I’m able to visually see that I’m making progress and I’m accomplishing something as well. That being, I’m cleaning up the mess I just made! The 2nd thing I do, some can but feel free to insert a method that works for you. During the calls I like to solve my rubijs cube while the phone is ringing. It takes about 2 calls to complete or get close. When I complete the cube I get a sense of accomplishment. Of course at the end of all of my calls I feel waaaay better because I’ve completed my task of making calls and I accomplished my 2nd goal of cleaning up the mess I made. Since doing this, cold calling has been FUN for me. Crazy to type that out but it’s ginuinely fun. By giving my mind to another task or two I’m able to have much better conversations and the calls that are “bad” just bounce right off. No matter what your challenge is when making calls or completing tasks, I’d highly suggest the paperclip method or just come up with your own! Hope this helps out any fellow boss out there struggle to do the things! Good luck everybody!
