Agent says No Thank You to REOPro Lead.

Posted by Jesus (Jesse) Gonzalez on February 22, 2010 at 3:17pm

No joke, I was actually told, “no thank you” by a Agent who I offered a lead to.

So, here is what happened.

As many of you know, I have been looking for some agents to work some leads we got in from our investor.

These leads are as hot as they come. Basically a buyer / seller searching online comes across the investor website and ask to be referred to a local agent who will provide them a FREE CMA on a home they want to buy or sell. REOPro then turns around, and distributes the lead, manages the lead and helps it get to closing. We don’t get paid otherwise.

Well, we had no one in RealtyPilot (the REOPro platform) that worked this zip code so I searched the REOPro.NING sit. I found an agent, called him up, offered him the lead and he actually said that he was tired of paying for things he would never use and declined to take the lead.

Just so you know, the lead wrote in the comments section of her application for assistance, “I want to list and sell my home”

Now, here is what chaps my cheeks. To get the lead, all he will be out is the $30.00 a month from RealtyPilot…that’s it. In fact, once he is done working the lead, he can cancel his subscription, it’s not like RealtyPilot has long term contract but, he was so oblivious to who I was, to who REOPro was, to who RealtyPilot was, to the nature of the REOPro / RealtyPilot alliance, he complete lost a great opportunity.

Now, here I am, with a lead….a seller, which is as hot as they come and no one from my network to work the lead. Now I have to go to REORedbook, search through the database and hopefully get myself a agent for a handout!

Honestly, I should have known better to call this guy. He had zero blogs, zero forums, zero comments and his profile didn’t even have his website, phone number or contact information.

Why is it, I have to go and find agents when I have leads to give out? Don’t tell me it’s because you have to pay for the technology platform. If its that much of a cost for you, cancel when you don’t want to use it. This way, you’re only out the $30.00 a month when you actually have a lead to work however, understand…….I am not going to go out looking for you each time I have a lead, I provide those people in RealtyPilot the first opportunity.

    Hi Rick,

    I had his name, did a google search for him like this, "Agent Name, zip code of the area I knew the lead lived". He was the first and 2nd google hit, out of like 1,000 hits.

    I actually searched him out. I went the extra step to find him. UGH!

    Hi Jesse! I would be falling all over myself to do a great job for your lead. Call me anytime you have a lead for the Hilton Head Island, SC area. I agree Johny Huang, the agent obviously did not realize who you were!

    You forget Jesse that most people are plain lazy! I have agents turning down buyer leads all the time! Can you believe it, in this market. Sometimes spoon feeding isnt enough, you actually have to shove the food down their ungrateful mouths.

    The agent obviously didn't realize who you were or what you were about. If he/she kept up with the forums, they would know the points you just mentioned. Paying for technology platforms is a no-brainer if you want to be in REO business, getting certifications is a no-brainer in the REO business...Unfortunately, they were saying they were tired of real estate and thinking of moving onto other industries.
